Forget those aging multi-million dollar album-selling world-touring pop stars. Houstonist thinks you should support local music. Start tonight by heading to Continental Club to hear The Octanes play. They perform a genre of music that is unique to our part of the country — mixing Rock-a-billy with Gulf Coast Blues. They've opened for Wanda Jackson! And their bassist Nick Gaitan (also of Los Skarnales) is a five-time winner of the Houston Press Music Awards Best Bassist category. Best of all, the event is free, and there will be drink specials.
The Octanes

Date and Time: Tonight, 9:30 p.m.
