For the weekend of March 11th - 14th, 2010
Well, the big party up north on 290 starts this weekend, which means Houston is about to be flooded with more music at which you could shake said proverbial stick. Seriously, there's an overabundance of bands in Houston, starting tonight and flowing for a good two weeks. So get out there and see some music!
We'll start out by hitting up the free in-store tonight at [wait for it] Sound Exchange! We love a good SoundEx show, because we can walk across the street to grab our choice of 40s/MD 2020/sixer of beer/tallboys and come enjoy the show. Plus, there are no less than six, count 'em, SIX girls performing. Also highly recommended is George Thorogood & The Destroyers at House of Blues.
Tomorrow we're pretty torn - Hell City Kings are issuing forth a new 7" at Mango's, and they've got Austin heavyweights White Rhino in tow. We imagine we'll probably pop into the Caddywhompus show at The Green Hour [speakeasy? Don't mind if we do] to catch them and sIngs and maybe finally see Somosuno, and then stop at Mango's afterwards. Also notable: Xiu Xiu is in town Friday night.
Saturday has a couple more releases -
Even Sunday is heavy this week: Dick Dale is at House of Blues! Not to be missed is the latest installment in the Resonant Interval series at The Husk, featuring Chicago's CJ Boyd. We took a listen to Bears of Blue River, who'll be at The Mink, and it's some darn good indie folk that is worth checking out. Houstonist plans to hit up that house show at 3910 Driscoll to see our newest addition, Mr. David A. Feil, performing under the name Golden Arrow Holy Face. After all, we'd be ashamed to not support our own.
Full, epic-level calendar available after the jump.
