We mentioned it in our interview with Mlee Marie Suprean, but our favorite local music blog The Skyline Network just released the poster for the Hootenanny, which only further solidifies the fact that we have to be there.

Radio rock fans have a decision to make tonight: see the currently hot band Avenged Sevenfold at Warehouse Live or catch the now-grown-up Silverchair at The Meridian. Speaking of the 90's, old school rapper Tone Loc will stop off at Fitzgerald's Thursday night. Local eclectic classical trio Two Star Symphony plays a special show Saturday night on the St. Thomas campus. Another local favorite, The Mathletes, open a show at Rudyard's Saturday night. The...

Tonight, catch Soviet-born Regina Spektor and her unique "anti-folk" style at Warehouse Live. Tomorrow, catch Houston's own pop/rock outfit Prodigal Son at Rudyard's. Friday night is a tougher choice: you have Grupo Fantasma at the Continental Club (see our interview with them and win tickets), Ghostland Observatory at Warehouse (more details on them tomorrow), or if you're a club-goer, you may want to catch Paul Oakenfold on his "Greatest Hits" tour at Planeta Bar...

The big show this week, of course, is the reunion of The Police. But if you don’t feel like paying $100 to see Sting sing songs he sings at his solo concerts too (OK, yes, it’s different since Summers and Copeland are with him, but is it that different?), then you can opt for some other good shows Friday night: singer/songwriter Radney Foster (now writing hits for other people) plays two shows at the...

Similar to last week, the calendar is full of local and regional acts. Some exceptions include singer/songwriters Steve Poltz (at the Mucky Duck tonight) and the eclectic Laura Veirs (at Walter's on Friday night).

You have a couple of chances to catch Houston's Tody Castillo this week; Friday night at...

When you think of block parties, you usually thing of a cul-de-sac in a suburban neighborhood with hot dogs, red and white checkered table clothed over folding tables, annoying neighbors drinking their Miller Lite while they scream at their kids. Put those thoughts behind you – the Westheimer Block Party is totally different, and much better. Think of a block party in the Montrose area, the heart of Houston, with over 40 local bands playing....

Wednesday You can call him Black Francis or Frank Black, it doesn’t matter. What does matter, is that the Pixies leader is playing solo shows again, after a very successful reunion tour with his band over the past two years. We’d love to see Kim Deal as a surprise guest, but we won’t hold our breath. 8 p.m. at the Meridian | tickets and info Bound Stems is a “math rock” band. What is...

Tuesday Born in Colorado, Jonah Werner now calls Texas his home. He’s a story-teller singer/songwriter that is celebrating the release of his new CD Better Things tonight at the Duck. Music: "Derail" (requires Real Player) 8 p.m. at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck | info Wednesday It’s hard to take a group seriously when they call themselves a “Nintendo band” – so we won’t.
