Month: July 2011

Tonight (Friday, 29 July 2011) – The Squishees * Ghost Town Electric * Dead Mineral

Here is a nice show preview from Non-Alignment Pact

“When I lived in Houston (and they were still around), the Squishees were my favorite local band. I first saw them at No Tsu Oh in 2001? with I wanna say Black Cat Music and the Down and Dirties. I remember they did “Baby Let’s Play God” by the Big Boys and either “This Ain’t No Picnic” or ” Party With Me Punker” by the Minutemen (or both). At the time they were called the Slurpees, and their drummer was a guy who went by the name David Banner I think, who played a lot of fast, riffy fills. They sounded like a cross between the punk-funk greats and the Dead Kennedys. ” -from The Return of the Squishees By Danny Mee

Tonight (Friday, 15 July 2011) Horseshoe (Reunion Show)

Fans of Horshoe rejoice for tonight the band reunites.

Chris Gray of the Houston Press writes

“In the olden times, before the days of the Web, a posse of tall-walkin’ Texas trash known as Horseshoe rode roughshod over the concrete plains of Montrose. Fearsome front man Greg Wood and his band of brigands terrorized saloons such as the Blue Iguana and Fabulous Satellite Lounge with a blend of rock and country that was meaner than Uncle Tupelo, more soused than Whiskeytown and left its mark on all who heard it. (Wood was also fond of reading extended passages from Penthouse Forum out loud at shows.)” (Full article)

Also William Michael Smith of the Houston Press explains why lead singer Greg Wood’s health scare sparked the reunion. (Link here)
