Rock Talk, Vol. XXIX
It's that time again, where we scrub the internet clean of all the Houston music news we can find. Let's see what's going on in that wide world of 600 square miles, shall we?
Tunes
Something Fierce put up a demo of their new song Future Punks.
We'd heard a bit about this, but you can now hear Pedro Tijerina's new band Young Girls.
You can stream all of the forthcoming Omotai EP, Peace Through Fear on Bandcamp. It'll come out on July 13th, but they'll be having a release show on the 10th at The Hot Dog Shop.
You can also stream the Buffalo Bayou album on their MySpace; it looks like their release show is July 17th at Last Concert Cafe.
Videos
Wild Moccasins had Chad Hartigan make a video for their song Psychic China. Who doesn't love a good pillow fight?
Here's a video for Highs of Low by The Live Lights.
This new band from Wharton, Black Kennedy, would like to introduce themselves with a song called Something Wicked.
Jonathan Jindra of Trills put together this video for Tchrite's Phaidon.
And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that Swisha House has the new video for Paul Wall's I'm On Patron.
News, etc.
We're pretty relieved to hear that Little Joe is continuing to improve.
Co-Pilot and Football, etc. are just the latest in a string of local bands to get out on tour this summer. They're both putting out new releases at their respective kickoff shows, so show up, buy one, and help them with a little gas money.
With the impending departure of Lance Higdon, Tambersauro will be having their "last show" on July 24th at The Exoskeleton [next to Khon's].
Higdon has also put together a noise show this Saturday at Khon's. Well, it'll draw power from Khon's for the performers, but it'll be in the empty Midtown Doctor's Group, with each band in a separate "waiting room" - including his new project with Richard Ramirez, Oltre La Morte. Oh, and you'll need to bring a flashlight. This should be quite an event.
Winter Wallace is putting out a CD called Holiday - the release show will be on August 6th at M Squared Gallery in the Heights.
Something tells us Andrew Karnavas is working on new material.
Hollywood Floss has a new website.
Trae might not get any love from 97.9 the Box, but MTV is recognizing him.
