H-Town Rock

For the week of November 16th - 18th, 2009

We know we say this a lot in our Monday posts, but it bears repeating - we're alive! Houstonist hit Block Party pretty hard this weekend, achieving local music overload, discovering new artists that we have just got to see again, and making connections for some future interviews. But let's get down to what's happening this week, shall we?

Tonight's a fairly light night in local music. We could use the night to check out one of several residencies in the rotation, or we might drop the dough necessary just to see the lovely girls in Texas-bred Eisley, complete with harmonies and a couple talented dudes in the mix. We had a rough stunning weekend that took all our cash, though, so we might pass.

Houstonist sees two opportunites to relive the late 90s on Tuesday - a decent one at House of Blues and a terrible one at Warehouse Live. We'll settle for catching Mansions at Cactus early, then drop into The Mink for our favorites, Ghost Mountain.

We'll hit midweek in one of two modes: recuperate or pre-weekend assault. If it's the former, we're definitely going to The Mink for Gretchen Schmaltz. If it winds up being the latter option, we'll head to Mango's for some noisy goodness courtesy of The Wiggins.

Let us know where you'll be.
