This'll be a better-late-than-never post, but we'd rather spread the delayed word than remain silent about one of the coolest things happening in town tonight: the Girls Rock Camp benefit at Dean's Credit Clothing.
Tonight, Grandfather Child are having a release party for their new self-released 7". Local bands Balaclavas and Buxton, as well as Los Angeles-based Warpaint will be opening for the foursome at Mango's. With just two songs, the new 7" covers as much of the group's varied abilities as possible, going from the dramatic and soulful build of "Waiting For You" to the barn-burning southern punk of instrumental b-side "Dogwater."
Tonight at 8pm there will be a free show (BYOB) at Sound Exchange featuring performances by two local acts: Ms. Sandy & Ms. YET and Strawberry Watermelon (formerly Girl Band). The event will also double as a "vinyl re-issue release party" for Ms. Sandy & Ms. YET's on-going project of recycling unwanted LPs into works of art. The one-of-a-kind, "environmentally-friendly" discs will be on sale during the show.
From time to time, something wonderful happens in the universe, and Houstonist gets passed some music to review. Occasionally this wonderfulness materializes in vinyl form, an occurrence that makes our ears perk up and take notice. So when Austin duo Followed By Static offered to send us a copy of their new 7" single, Lullaby, naturally we answered with a resounding yes. [Note to other bands: take the hint. Send us stuff.]
