Last Saturday night, after carefully selecting our ironic-but-not-overly-ironic wardrobe, Houstonist headed out to the Sweatiest Venue In Town to catch The McKenzies final performance. We're not certain that it will be the absolute last time they play [we're holding out hope for the occasional reunion], but we didn't want to miss it. Houstonist, with camera in town, watched them tear through a fantastic, fun-filled set. Tax The Wolf and The Tontons made appearances as well. All photos taken by Marc Brubaker / Click. Wind. Repeat.

             

Indie darling Jenny Lewis, famous for her songwriting both as a solo artist as well as with her band Rilo Kiley rolled through town on Wednesday night. There was a little drama when, after seven songs she cut off Trying My Best To Love You due to some talking. We could have done without her boyfriend Jonathan Rice's tasteless comment, "it was good enough for Austin and Dallas, but maybe Houston just can't hack it." That aside, however, we felt she handled it pretty well, moving forward and rounding out a pretty good set. We heard plenty of whining about the show afterward, so for those of you that felt differently, we have a couple suggestions:
• If you're paying money to see a show, shut up and watch it.
• If you think she was out of line, have some perspective - if you were on a tour bus all day, playing every night, you wouldn't want to deal with bullshit either.

Remember The Red Hot Chili Pepper's first album? How about their third album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan?
