Houston Press Music Awards Showcase 2008

IMG_5312

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!
