Sunday, July 27th found the Breakfast On Tour crew in downtown Houston for the annual Houston Press Music Awards Showcase, which featured 60 bands performing at 10 different venues. Cereal was busy taking notes for her first article for the Houston Press, so I took the camera and shot the day's events. Many bands brought their A games, but the top showing for me had to be Buxton's 8pm set at Butterfly High. Overall, we had the chance to see 10 bands, including some old favorites like Sideshow Tramps and D.R.U.M, as well as some new discoveries like The Tontons, Pale, and Sharks and Sailors. It was one hell of a day, and we have the photos to prove it!

Saturday, May 17th brought Spoonfed Tribe to town on a night when Radiohead dominated Houston's live show-going market. We had a wedding to attend (and thankfully tickets to Radiohead's Dallas show) so a late night journey to Last Concert Cafe was our next best option. We had a long day, so my review is going to consist of this short sentence: Dallas' Spoonfed Tribe brought out their jammier side during a percussion-heavy set of tribal rhythms and psychedelic rock. We did take a bunch of pictures though...

Houston's Meridian played host to veteran jamband moe. and tour support Tea Leaf Green on Sunday, March 30. It had been since last year's SxSW that we had a chance to see moe., so Cereal and I were truly looking forward to the event. Add to that the fact that San Francisco's Tea Leaf Green have made a huge name for themselves in the jamband scene, and I had yet to see them, and it's easy to see why the Meridian was the place for us to be that night.

Mohawks, leather vests and chains were abundant at Warehouse Live on Tuesday, February 26th when seminal punk-rock acts NOFX and No Use For A Name came to town. This show was quite nostalgic for me and several other mid-to-late twenty-somethings who joined me as far away from the pit as possible.
