For the week of March 15th - 17th, 2010 As the Space City Rock showlist says, 'Welcome to Hell.' We don't even have a word to accurately describe the plethora of music that will hit Houston this week. Actually, plethora is pretty good, but it doesn't really do justice to the devastating avalanche of live shows that will sweep across our landscape over the next seven days. Don't get us wrong, Houstonist loves the SXSW fallout - it brings us many bands that otherwise would never set foot in the state, much less our fair city [e.g. the all-Aussie lineup at the Mink on Tuesday]. We'll try to give some details where we can, but know that the default option for the week will be Super Happy Fun Land's Overflow Fest [note each show is $8, or you can shell out $25 and hit any show through March 24th]. more ›
