For the week of February 8th - 10th, 2010
Well, it looks like our calendar for the beginning of the week is mostly residencies. Don't fret, however, for Houstonist has hand-selected some concerts for you to attend. Allow us to offer up our professional opinion.
We're sure you've heard us rave on and on about local folk-slingers listenlisten, so we'll refrain from lauding their praises yet again. However, this is arguably the show to be at tonight. Plus, Houstonist scoped out the headliners - A Lull - and we think they make some pretty darn good music.
On Tuesday we plan to take the opportunity to see a band that had a formative influence upon us - Living Sacrfice, who'll be plowing through town with War of Ages and Shai Hulud, among others. Honestly, our hearts may pop from the excitement. We understand that metal may not be "your thing" though, and are prepared to recommend our excellent friends in Football, etc. at The Mink.
Wednesday we'll be dancing up a storm - whether that's at House of Blues for Irish-punkers Flogging Molly or at our usual haunt for Robert Ellis & The Boys waits to be seen. Definitely get off that keester and go see some tunes this week, though.
