The Axiom nightclub was only open for a short 5 years. But in that short time (from 1987 – 1992), many then-unknown rock bands performed at the venue, only to be headliners on large tours later. Of course, Nirvana is probably the most notable to make a stop at The Axiom in their early years, playing for a small crowd. Other bands that played at the club include Bad Religion, Dinosaur Jr., The Flaming Lips,...

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor slipshod snapshots. Infernal Bridegroom Productions ceased operations on July 24, 2007 In the arts, the word “alternative” has been thoroughly recast as a marketing tool in an effort to resolve two incongruent sensibilities: the desire to be different and the fear of standing alone. Infernal Bridegroom Productions is…alas…was old school “alternative”. IBP confidently stood alone in bringing to stage productions that...

Biggio and Infernal Bridegroom Productions announce they're leaving us on the same day? Say it ain't so, Tamarie. Unfortunately for us, it is: IBP announced in a press release that was also posted on their website yesterday that they have "ceased operations this month due to insurmountable financial difficulties." Is it too late to get the mayor's fundraising people on this? IBP produced 68 plays since their founding in 1993, and we're sure each...

Hot Town, Cool City Premieres on PBS Remember when we went on and on about the Hot Town, Cool City movie premiere? Well, in case you missed the sold out showing at the MFA, you are in luck. Set those TIVOs, HTCC will be playing tonight on PBS @ 10:00 pm. We haven't been this excited about PBS since Mr. Rogers went off the air. The movie, directed and written by Houstonian Maureen McNamara, offers...

Tonight at winter Street Studios, three local artists' works will be on display. Presented by Buffalo Bayou ArtPark, FIJI water, and Silver Eagle Distributors (yippee! this means beer!). [francesca fuchs] Houston artist Francesca Fuchs was born in London. She studied at the Wimbledon School of...

What is love? Infernal Bridegroom Productions has the answer - or twenty answers. IBP's Tamarie Cooper explores the question in her latest work, 20 Love Songs. From their website: What is love? A greasy clutch of Whataburger French fries at 2 in the morning? The slurpy tongue of a tea cup chihuahua? Or the frenzied scribblings of a 16-year-old girl who's never been kissed? In 20 Love Songs, you'll find it's all of this and...

It’s time to whip out your blackest black eyeliner and dust off your old poetry journal as Infernal Bridegroom Productions holds its "Tortured Artists Gala" this Saturday at the Axiom (2524 McKinney). Scheduled activities include buffet dinner and silent auction, dancing to the IBP Band, taking in some Seriously Silly Performance Art, and, if you’re lucky, getting crowned Miss Understood. While the IBP Tortured Artist Gala is sure be be a great time, it’s also...

When you're looking for love in all the wrong places, look to Russia, with love. Yes, vodka. We can't think of a better way to celebrate the God-awful, Hallmark-created, pseudo-holiday than with large amounts of Vodka. And thankfully, one of Houstonist's favorite theater companies, Infernal Bridegroom Productions, has come through for us. Tonight, they host their "Vodka & Valentines Party" at Ovations in Rice Village. The party will feature sweets, eats, and---do we seriously have...

I have a huge problem. I’m a big Bears fan (and a huge White Sox fan, but I’ll let that slide for the time being as to not open old wounds), but as this weekend approaches, I realized that I have nobody to watch The Game with. For years, I would be watching The Game with a few dozen other sweatpants-wearing, brat-eating, true Chicagoans — and for the first time in my first month as...

Talk about an ambitious new year's resolution! This week, Houstonist is reeling with admiration for Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. In 2002, Parks set out to write one play every day for a year. And here we thought getting 7 more readers was steep.

Even though he’s been recording for almost 30 years, most people don’t know who Daniel Johnston is. His profile was lifted a couple of years ago with the release of a tribute album, with artists like Beck, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes and Tom Waits covering his songs. The following year, a documentary of his life won an award at the Sundance festival. This year, Houston’s Infernal Bridegroom Productions created and performed a rock...
