H-Town Rock

As the weeks are often wont to do, this one starts out with less heft regarding the musical calendar. However, that doesn't mean that Houstonist will be shuttering ourselves and avoiding the many haunts that will be serving up a band or three. Here's what we're looking at this week.

Tonight we'll be stopping into Mango's to catch Islands - after all, they've got a trippy video starring Michael Cera, and that's what all the hipster kids want, right?

We'll follow that up tomorrow with a band that's near to our heart - Thrice is one of those bands that's stuck with us from high school because they've constantly pushed themselves to become more inventive and ambitious. The fact that Bad Veins is also on that Warehouse Live bill makes us quite happy as well. That being said, we're sure that whatever happens when Courtney Love & crew shows up at House of Blues will be most entertaining, for better or for worse.

Houstonist plans to skip our usual trip to the hoedown on Wednesday, and instead we'll stop by Avant Garden to catch Hank Schyma of Southern Backtones. Well, ok, we'll probably wind up at Mango's too, as it is next door.

Go see some bands!
