H-Town Rock

For the Week of November 9th-11th, 2009

We sure had us a weekend, visiting our cousin Austinist and their big party Fun Fun Fun Fest. It's tough coming back to a world without free drink tickets and constant live music, but we suppose we'll have to make do. Here's what's coming up for you this week.

We highly advise you going to either Melt Banana or Lucero tonight. Houstonist witnessed both this weekend, and it's your decision on what to miss: the eccentric barking beeping noise music - with show support from local favorites Homopolice and B L A C K I E, or the bluesy, rolling down home rock, complete with new horn section of Tennessee-dwellers Lucero.

Tomorrow offers up yet another blast from the past with Powerman 5000 rolling through Scout Bar. Our apologies to Spider One, but we'll be opting for his brother on Wednesday. We'll go see something bright and shiny at Verizon, lest everyone think we've completely sold our soul to the devil: Regina Spektor. [Besides, he's already got our soul.]

Apparently MC Chris is rolling through town this week, not last week. Houstonist is sorry for the mix-up in reporting, but Walter's online calendar is not exactly accurate or thorough. There's a good show at Warehouse Live tonight, but as previously mentioned we'll be busy partaking of the Robert Bartleh Cummings experience - Rob Zombie. We're hoping for more than a few old standards in the set.

The full calendar is after the jump, and don't forget to let us know where you'll be.
