Houston’s Most Hated | Everything you hate. And, one thing you love. |
TWO VERY BIG NAME DJS ARE COMING TO HOUSTON NEXT MONTH. ONE WILL BE PLAYING AT RELIANT ARENA. REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU WENT TO AN ELECTRONIC MUSIC PARTY AT THE ARENA?! LETS DO IT AGAIN.
because the people in this city are so stuck up LA LA land’s ass, i think of this when i pull up next to them and stare. Most of the time, when I look over… whaddaya know THEY’RE TEXTING. I have nothing against it, but if you’re doing this on the road become a better driver first. Or you know who’s waiting for you on the other side!
Be Prepared for this Saturday! Performing live at Warehouse Live. A-trak and Treasure Fingers. $15 presale and $20 at the door. So get your tickets early at:
And this where the party is going down. The last stop on the block where good djs and artist will be performing. I myself will be playing an early set so come out and take some shots and drink some margaritas with me!!!
You ready? We are giving away 2 pair of tickets. First come first serve. Send tweet to twitter.com/MostHated to win. Good luck and see you all tomorrow.
Come to this event. The only event. Then come to rare for afterhours at 700 Durham its going to be dope.
This is the first of many phone blogs. or clogs they might be called now but its the wave of the future. Blackberry bloggers unite! CellSpin might just work!
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!
