Last Chance To See 600 sq mi: Hidden
Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"
H-Town Rock
Rock Talk, Vol. IX
For the weekend of November 12th - 15th, 2009
Here's the deal - our job is really easy this week, because it's Westheimer Block Party Time, and to top it all off this year there's a bonus day of music. Houstonist is going to assume our readers have enough smarts not to miss two days of free music and then some, so we'll be listing everything else concert-wise of which we know. We'll also be back tomorrow with the most up-to-date Block Party schedule we can find and a few selections you shouldn't miss.
Tonight brings the most brutal band ever in the history of brutality to Verizon, and Houstonist will be there front and center. If Dethklok & Mastodon aren't your thing, try hitting up Walter's for A.A. Bondy & Elvis Perkins.
Friday we plan to start the night early with a pint and The Eastern Sea at Cactus - these smart indie rockers wowed us at Summer Fest, so we're happy to see them back in town.
Houstonist isn't certain how Marcy Playground got bumped to Meridian's kiddie stage, but our childhood calls us to go see them, so perhaps it's fitting. The Swell Season is sure to have plenty of swooning young'uns holding hands, so we might have to pass that show. We'll be at Super Happy Fun Land, getting our regular dose of Ghost Mountain.
Which brings us to Saturday - go to Block Party! Alright, now that we have that out of our system, make sure you catch The Literary Greats CD release at Continental Club. That album is tasty. Other options for Saturday night include getting your face punched, er, Chris Brown at House of Blues, the post-Block Party show at Numbers, or Spain Colored Orange at Jet Lounge.
What's left for Sunday? Block Party, 'nuff said. Seriously, do it.
Let us know in the comments what you're planing to catch this weekend.
