Weekend be looking way clutch for live ass music.
This Flock of Seagulls pic is no joke my friends. They are playing Saturday night at Raceway Park. Couple that with the born again Christian guy from Korn playing in Tomball and you have a brilliantly awkward weekend. But besides things that make you cringe, both Saturday and Sunday are chock full of great music. Cedric Burnside throws down at Cactus Music Saturday at 2:30 where the St. Arnolds beer flows like the Salmon of Capistrano. (Video below.) Local superdupergroup Grandfather Child at Walter's will surely be aces as they open for Extra Golden. Super Happy kicks off their Matinee show which is a grand idea of having an open sign up for bands to play 1-7 on Saturdays. They got like a trillion bands playing and it is free so you have no excuse. Most importantly, Queensryche is playing House of Blues: Go pay 12 bux for a beer and soak up the Silent Lucidity. Shit yes bromide. But if I do one solitary thing this weekend I will go see Black Congress at 3PM on Saturday at 2502 La Branch. Specifically because a member of the band recently sent me a message saying Roy Mata is allergic to sunlight and it may be interestign to watch him melt. That's all.
