Well, while we may have run ourselves ragged covering Summer Fest, Houstonist still had our trusty spies working the ol' series of tubes. Ok, so really we just have a series of RSS feeds and sites that we troll, but it's more fun ot think of them as spies. Here's what we found this week.
It's taken Houstonist a while to process this past weekend, with it's massive amount of, well, everything - music, food, camaraderie, people - overwhelming Eleanor Tinsley Park. We had no shortage of a good time, rain notwithstanding, and wound up leaving incredibly proud of Free Press, Pegstar, our local bands, and the good people of Houston in general.
Near the close of last year's festival, while we were privileged enough to snap a few photos from the stage during Explosions in the Sky's set, we happened to look out at the sea of people that had overtaken the hill, and had we been bitter souls our heart may have grown the proverbial three sizes. As it was, it just happened to swell with pride at just what the city had accomplished, and an eager anticipation of what was to come in the following iterations.
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.
You really think you're prepared for the biggest festival of the summer, eh? Well, that may be the case, but Houstonist has put together a list of tips & tricks for Summer Fest, just to cover some of those things that you may have forgotten or just not known.
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.
Let's face it: we're not ready for Summer Fest this year. No one is. It's certain to be the largest musical endeavor this city has seen in a while, set to topple last year's largely successful inaugural edition. At most, what we can do is take a look at the schedule and tell you what we don't want to miss, but with six total stages, it's inevitable that we'll have to skip over something.
Here's a look at Saturday's lineup, in linear fashion.
Houston, Summer Fest is upon us. Before everything gets lost in the music orgy at Tinsley Park this weekend, we beseech you to check out the news we've dug up in the past week. Then have a blast this weekend.
It's no secret that we loved Summer Fest and are pretty excited about the big shindig in two weeks. Wait - holy crap is it only two weeks away? Geez, it's sneaky.
If ever you've had the good fortune of meeting Houstonist, you'll know what we're quite fond of many things design oriented, not the least of which being poster art.
And, we're certain you know of our love for Cactus Music and St. Arnold brews by now.
What would happen should someone combine all of the above?
Shoot, you didn't think we would leave you in the lurch again, did you? Houstonist has been trolling those interwebs, finding the snippets of Houston music news. We realized that last week we hadn't quite caught up on all of our rap/hip-hop feeds, so there's so fresh but not too fresh material in here as well. Enjoy!
It's that time of the week - when we crack open our vault of local music news and share our treasure with the people. Come on in and check out what we found this week.
Aaaaaand, we're back! We had to take last week off due to some personal drama. Sorry about that folks. However, this edition of Rock Talk is packed to the rafters as a result. Enjoy!
Houstonist headed over to Menil Park at 3 pm yesterday, to ask Free Press Houston to be our valentine. They might not exactly have said yes, but they gave us an awesome gift as they unveiled the 2010 Summerfest lineup.
Days later, this weekend's Free Press Summer Fest is still the talk of the town - and rightfully so. It was a weekend packed with expectation and anticipation as well as music, heat, humidity, excitement, and whatnot. Everybody's doing it, so here's the Houstonist take on our weekend.
We're back with more coverage from Free Press Summer Fest! Despite some threatening skies and a small smattering of rain, Day Two was an excellent day of music. Here's a selection of our favorite photos from Sunday, all taken by Marc Brubaker/Click. Wind. Repeat.
Free Press Summer Fest: It was hot, the lines were long, and the waits were well worth it. Houston, we are so proud of you today for coming out this weekend and supporting one of the greatest musical endeavors this city has seen in recent history. A fine tip of the hat to our friends over at the Free Press Houston for all the hard work that went into organizing and orchestrating the entire weekend. Here's some of our favorite shots from Day One. All photographs shot by Marc Brubaker/Click. Wind. Repeat.
