Shout out to the locals

It has come to my attention that Boondocks(which would be my favorite local bar if it weren't for the super slow bartenders that seem incapable of making drinks in a quick and consistent manner....you know that whole thing bartenders are supposed to be the master of?whatev.) has started having little local showcases on Monday nights.I sadly missed the one with Ryan Scroggins and The Trenchtown Texans last week but if you are looking foward to something to do tonight(Monday) I know that local punk trio Alarma! and Innerlights will be doing their thing tonight with The Last Place You look and Lazlo following suit next Monday.
This weekend was the final open weekend for the Grab Bar over on Pierce Street.Grab definitely was not one of the most glamorous places in the world but good times were had there and it will definitely be missed.
Continuing on with this new and oh so fabulous trend with showing off the local talent in Houston Free Press Houston has started what they like to call Recession Thursdays where they bring in an assortment of locals and force them to fight to the death in this huge battle dome...also known as Numbers.They haven't put up a new flyer for the talent playing this Thursday but here's the one for last week so you can kinda get the gist.


























I'm hoping to make my way out there before I play there on June 19th...womp.Anyway the site has it promoted that upcoming shows will be featuring The Ton Tons,Tha F*cking Transmissions,and a whole lot more. I hope we can get this to be a big thing...and or something that runs longer than a month. Come on Houston support your locals or at least support the economy by putting some $2 Lone Stars into your system.

Rumor also has it there is some shindig going down at the MFAH all I heard was cheap cash bar so I may need to go out and help the economy myself tonight and take in a little art.All in all have a good week I will return to you with more ramblings sooner rather than later.

Also...I don't know if I like this or not:



















PS I wish someone was taking me to the Police/Elvis Costello concert tomorrow night :(
