Sorry, it took us a while to catch back up to everything we'd missed. We'd severely underestimated the amount of news that had happened in our absence. Fortunately, we've got it wrapped up in a nice package for you right here.
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!

It's official: Houston is taking it's A game to Austin for the 2008 South By Southwest music showcase. From March 12 through 16, you can catch some of your favorite local acts play in the so-called music mecca of the American South.
If you fancy some Japanese rock, check out Fantasys Core tonight at Walter’s on Washington (our own Motion Turns It On opens). It’s been ten years since Shawn Mullins' “Lullaby” was a big hit. Mullins sound is more on the Americana/folk side these days, and you can hear for yourself tomorrow night at the Mucky Duck. Friday night, Warehouse Live has an eclectic mix of local music, including one of our favorites, Two Star Symphony. If you’d rather punk-out that night, head to Walter’s on Washington, where Something Fierce headlines. Finally, Kinky Friedman stops at the Duck on Saturday night. He’s not running for governor anymore, so he has little incentive to censor himself.
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.
When it comes to music in Texas, we all know that Austin pretty much has the scene in an awkward and uncomfortable chokehold position. Between South by Southwest, ACL and Fun Fun Fun fests, the state capital has music festivals down to a science. But instead of making that trek up 290 and finding the perfect seat between the broseph who can't stop talking about how cool it would be if DMB was on...

Other local favorites Prodigal Sons and Lanky open for emerging Geffen pop artist Matt White at Jet Lounge. Thursday, check out Twelve Girls Band: a dozen classically-trained musicians (all women, of course) playing both traditional Chinese songs and popular pop songs. Friday night, Beaumont's own classic blues-rocker Johnny Winter returns to Houston at the Meridian. Saturday, block-off your...

Still, some good regional favorites will be in town, including Soulhat, Vallejo, Austin Lounge Lizards, and The Weary Boys. Here's the complete line-up for the week. Want to add your band to the calendar? E-mail us! (Local bands are noted with *) Wednesday Boston Chinks/*Something Fierce @ Rudyard's – punk/rock | 9 p.m. at...
Instead of vegging in front of the TV, or fighting the crowds at the mall, we suggest one of these concerts to pass away your holidays. Houston’s Allen Oldies Band is celebrating their 10th anniversary Wednesday night, allowing you to dance off some pounds before you fill up on turkey. Some great original local bands to catch this week include The Dimes and Something Fierce at Walter’s, and Ryan Scroggins’ ska band at Fitz....
This summer’s Houston Calling happy hour was such a success, that the blog is organizing another one with a new array of bands for this coming Monday, Oct. 23rd. Once again, some of Houston’s best local bands will be featured: the rock-flavored Bright Men of Learning, punk-rock Something Fierce, and alternative-rock Southern Backtones.

Hopefully one of those resolutions was to see more live music – we’re happy to help you with that: Thursday The Wainwrights are one musical family – not only do you have Loudon, but his kids Martha and Rufus. Sloan Wainwright, the woman Rufus calls “auntie,” brings her husky voiced folk to the Duck. You’ll...
