I won’t be there will all of you lovely people this year, but just thought i’d share where i’d be if i was going! RSVP at AUSTINCARNIVILLE.COM

with love from the westcoast,

AZNATK.

OK, so I know HMH is normally an electronic type music site but good music is good music.. and two bands apparently rocked a show at The Mink this weekend..

I say apparently because I wasn’t able to make it to the show.. but I won’t miss the March 25th show at Walter’s on Washington.

I’ll let the Houston Press and 29-95.com cover the show but we here at HMH know Stephen Bee (Weird Party) personally and have no doubt this band kicks all kinds of ass.

So don’t miss the March 25th show.. here are some songs/images from bands that may prove that the Houston music scene is alive and well…

Roky Moon & Bolt
(I love how Cassie tears up the panio)

Weird Party

I really want to push Weird Party… (we all know Roky rules.. and you know where to get the music =P ) so here is my fave song of what they have released… better see you there March 25th!

Weird Party!!!!!!!!

Enjoy!

Whats up everyone.. you all know Taylor and the band Ishi .. they need y(our) help..

So visit KDGE’s website and vote for them to get into the concert at Trees in Dallas on 4/1.. DO IT!

Here are some songs for you enoy =)

What’s up this is ‘loon’ coming to you from the warehouse that you all know and love.. I needed to tell you bitches about the Free Press Summer Fest coming this year, big big big news as the headliner is The Flaming Lips.. yeah, I said it!

Mark Farina **Special 4 Hour Set**

At other events, he’s been known to play extended sets. In his House sets, Mark is known for his uniquely effortless journeys on the jazzy side of Chicago House, mixed up San Fran style, and flawless as always!
