The most unique venue in Houston, the Orange Show, will be presenting another live music event this Saturday, June 14. Kenyan-American tropical indie rock band Extra Golden will be adding their energetic blend of rock and benga music to the already surreal atmosphere that surrounds this folk art monument. The band even has the Obama stamp of approval: his office helped them obtain the visas necessary to make their American concert debut. Obama-sistible!
