Last Wednesday Sedition Books in Houston hosted Samuel Doores and Hurray for the Riff Raff. These two groups hail from New Orleans and each provide their own twist on music based out of do it yourself folk.
I suppose the blog isn't much without pictures. Check out their music on the myspace. Hurray for the Riff Raff also has video on YouTube about their shows in Europe and such.
Also, the Westheimer Block Party is this Saturday March 28 and Sew What is playing at the Austin Layne Hotel at 1:30p. Over a hundred free bands during the day and not so free shows at night. The city won't block off the streets so we take them and drink beers and make music. Only this year there is a new and disgusting twist: The Contest for the King and Queen of Montrose. A harking back to the highschool days where kids like me tried to avoid the dances and the proms. A popularity contest that spread over the entire Houston music scene. And of course the men on the ballot are musicians or people involved. and the girls are hot. that's their talent i suppose.
annoying. this is the first year Sew What is playing the block party. Do we really want to be behind this? A soundtrack to all the things that alienated us in the past? Ugh.
I am super grossed out and annoyed by this stupid awful idea.
Hurray for the Riff Raff!
