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)

Leave it to HOB to occasionally spice up there gospel brunch havin’ line up with some of music’s most influential artists today. They make you wait for it, but the wait will be totally worth it, Promise. …..oh,and by influential, I mean HOTTTT!

Between the both of them, Santigold and Amanda Blank, have blessed beats with the likes of Mark Ronson, M.I.A., Uffie, Ghostface (who will be at HOB in Aug), Spank Rock, Kanye, and even 2 upcoming artists at Noise (Escobar Thursdays) – Steve Aoki, and Major Lazer (aka Diplo & Switch). *note* – If you don’t know at least half of those names you should really read this blog more often…
And that’s just the half of it, both ladies are some FINE MAMMA JAMMA’s (insert Captain Gann’s Heavy Breathing  HERE) each pushing their own solo efforts too.

This show is gonna be good from start to finish, so get there early and stay till the end, shit, come catch up with us at the after party at Boondocks even, with a couple of the performers, Devlin & Darko, hosted by those lovable Speakerboxx gents Squincy & Dayta

It’s definitely going to be a DFA WEEKEND in Houston Texas!

Hercules & Love Affair

By Dan Weiss

I couldn’t say if it was Antony Hegarty’s off-color voice or sodden tunes that pummeled my regurgitation muscles while everyone praised his triumphant debut I Am a Bird Now and this year’s The Crying Light, but in any event, I certainly didn’t expect him to anchor a triumphant bit of Brooklyn neo-disco. Nonetheless, from the first moments of “Time Will”—a boom-boom-snap backing Antony’s eerily sexy and upright command “Don’t lie to me” (a lyrical staple of both pop and disco)—you have to ask: Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? His quavering acrobatics are a perfect fit for sensational dance music. It’s startling, the ease with which the unrepentant drama queen inhabits this relationship time-out, an unaffected sadness he might yet know. His voice—lonely and forlorn as it’s framed by room-temperature synthesizers buzzing unsympathetically—has finally found its true calling.

It’s a hell of an opening tack for Andy Butler, the DFA-certified DJ who dreamed up the glorious funkscapes on Hercules & Love Affair, the full-length, self-titled expansion of last year’s “Roar”/”Classique #2″ single. Now, we get not just disco divas but Moulin Rouge dioramas in Technicolor surround sound: “Hercules Theme” jams together Kool & the Gang horn lines, lascivious wah-funk, and overhead pinches of strings crashing into booming dollops of kick and snare. If the result doesn’t quite amount to Saturday Night Fever, it certainly turns up the heat: Try the way the agile bass parts jog around “Athene” and “Raise Me Up.”

The party holds strong into the second half, where the comedown always muddles the songwriting a little. Surprise: Antony’s dramatic ululations return to rescue the trawling sonics. Where once it was hard to decide whether he was the problem or merely his tastes, it’s now fun to see Hegarty dropping anchor when Butler’s ambitions get too cumbersome and his slow ones sound out of breath. And when these two guys meet each perfectly—as on the projected summer hit “Blind,” a mélange of Primal Scream’s “Swastika Eyes” and Blur’s “Girls and Boys”—they really do climb to the mythic heights of Hercules’ heroic namesake.

I suggest you all save up your pennies for this weekend!
