For the week of July 5th - 7th, 2010 As the weeks are often wont to do, this one starts out with less heft regarding the musical calendar. However, that doesn't mean that Houstonist will be shuttering ourselves and avoiding the many haunts that will be serving up a band or three. Here's what we're looking at this week. more ›

For the weekend of July 1st - 4th, 2010 Look at that beefy lineup for the weekend! It's so meaty - perfect for the ol' Fourth of July. Did the holiday creep up on you as it has us? Hopefully this rain will subside and provide us with some nice sunny weather, but until then we've got a feast of rock to distract us. more ›

We've realized that even though we have a deep affinity for a well-made poster, here at Houstonist we rarely employ them on the blog. Sure, they're not all winners, but someone put some time and effort [or five minutes of cut n' paste] into making them. So welcome to our inaugural installment of Poster Notes, where we'll be sharing whatever we can find that's advertising the coming week. Today's edition will carry us through Sunday. Subsequent posts will go up Sunday afternoons and feature flyers for the next seven days [Monday through the following Sunday]. Enjoy! more ›

For the weekend of June 24th - 27th, 2010 Who's ready for another weekend of music? This guy sure is, and Houstonist is too. Let's take a look at what's coming through town, and then we'll make some snarky comments. Oh shoot, we're about to give away our secret formula. In all seriousness, however, there are some big names in town this weekend, and some collective stage ages that'll be pretty darn high. more ›

For the week of June 21st - 23rd Here in Houston, more days equals more music. More music means that Houstonist will dish out a few recommendations for you.

For the weekend of June 17th - 20th, 2010 Look at all that music on the calendar this week! Oh, you haven't seen it yet. Our bad. Well, Houstonist has a few recommendations on what to see this weekend before we get down to the music onslaught. more ›

For the weekend of June 10th - 13th, 2010 Another weekend, another delicious plating of music just waiting to be had. Houstonist is ready to get to it, too - there's quite a bit that we'd like to see on the calendar. Fortunately for you, we've compiled it right here into one easy package. more ›

Here at Houstonist, we knew that the Free Press Summer Fest would encompass far more than we were capable of covering. Thus, we enlisted the help of one of our dear friends [and talented musician in his own right], Benjamin Wesley. Here's what he had to say about the festival. Let me begin with a few small complaints just so that when I am done with my rant it will end on a more positive note than a negative one. That said, the negatives are rather obvious and trivial, and I only bring them up because I had talked about and/or heard these things talked about so much that it seemed like a good place to start: money and weather. more ›

For the week of June 8th - 9th, 2010 Our apologies for missing yesterday's scheduled post - we were still in the throes of post-Summer Fest music hangover. After seeing all the theatrics that the Flaming Lips had in store for us, we had forgotten all about our normal concert calendar duties. We suppose that the old "better late than never" saying holds true, however, so here's the music in town over the next couple days. more ›

For the weekend of June 3rd - 6th It's here - the weekend to end all weekends: Summer Fest, the Destroyer of negative opinions regarding Houston's capacity and propensity for music. We're so ready, but we are so not ready - there's still a lot of planning to be done on our part. But first, we've got a couple days of other shows in store. Let's have a look at that calendar. more ›

So, in theory, you've survived Saturday at Free Press Summer Fest and now you're ready to do it all over again. Maybe this time you'll remember some sunscreen, or a big hat, or you'll actually put some shorts on like a sensible person [note: jorts are perfectly acceptable as well]. Congratulations! Now let's have a look at that schedule, once again in linear format, and remember: Sunday's festivities start earlier than Saturday's. more ›

For the week of May 31st - June 2nd The biggest weekend of Houston music will be upon us before we know it, complete with Wayne Coyne in a plastic bubble, but first we've got a few days in front of us. Let no one accuse Houstonist of resting up for the big game - we'll still be out and about watching music. more ›

For the weekend of May 27th - 30th, 2010 It's another fun-filled weekend packed full of music here in Houston. We're posting in absentia, but don't let that fool you - we're certainly jealous of your options. There are some really good shows this week, so get out and see some bands! more ›

For the week of May 24th - 26th, 2010 It's that time again, so dust off that calendar, put away your TPS reports, and free your ears for the evenings. Houstonist has your biweekly concert listing right here. No, we're not grabbing our crotch when we say that, geez. more ›

For the weekend of May 20th - 23rd, 2010 Good grief, Charlie Brown - there's a heckuva lot of music happening in this town over the next few days. Where's that cloner when we need it? It's hard to pick between all the great lineups. Fortunately for you, that means you've got several options, so get off your duff and see some music this weekend. more ›

For the week of May 17th - 19th, 2010 Another weekend packed full of music brings us around to yet another week of smaller but quality portions. We've got the skinny on the shows being served up for you over the next few days. [Sorry for the foodish analogies, Houstonist wrote this one just before lunch.] more ›

For the weekend of May 13th - 16th, 2010 Well, it's pretty clear that the New York Times doesn't read Houstonist, or they would've known where to find some music during their whirlwind weekend in town. I mean, we slave away twice a week so that you can schedule your evenings appropriately, and they completely ignore us. Sigh. We suppose we'll just have to keep on posting and hopefully next time they'll take notice. more ›

For the week of May 10th - 12th, 2010 more ›

For the weekend of April 29th - May 2nd, 2010 We're drowning over here - or rather our calendar is. If we keel over from exhaustion after Sunday, know that a full weekend of music did us in for good, finally. That and a fair amount of stress/real world things to do at the same time. Houstonist is pretty stubborn, though, and we'll be hitting the venues hard this weekend - free shows, festivals, and big names will all be here. more ›

For the weekend of April 22nd - 25th, 2010 We've taken it easy the past few nights - spending two in a row completely at home, even. That's what a crazy week and a half of combined birthday celebrations will do to someone, we suppose. Houstonist is always eager to get back out and see some music, however, so let's have at that calendar! more ›

Due to the smoke monster from LOST a large mess o' volcanic ash all up in Europe's grill, Frightened Rabbit will not be playing at Walter's tomorrow night. Here's the official statement from Super Unison. more ›
