Month: May 2015

Saturday 30 May 2015 - Vanity Crimes (CD Release) with Carry the Storm & Tan Dragon Clan

Vanity Crimes (Houston, TX)
https://www.reverbnation.com/vanitycrimes

Vanity Crime is a four piece that lives in an era when the music was big, loud, original, and most of was created by playing actual instruments. Vanity Crimes is trying to bring back the sleezin’ and pleasin’ of the Sunset Strip, where big hair and eyeliner ruled the world. Do not expect us to look like your average band, we are that little bit of glitter that was left over in the gutter from the days that reminds you of freedom and the love of rock n roll.

Sunday 24 May 2015 - Bootown Presents: I Don’t Wanna, You Can’t Make Me (Benshi show, doors 7:30, show 8pm)

BooTown Presents
I Don’t Wanna, You Can’t Make Me
(Benshi show) Doors at 730 show at 8pm

Benshi is back! And this time we are doing Suburban Commando starring none other than the Super Destroyer himself, Hulk Hogan.

In Japan, Benshi performers memorize Western movies and reinterpret the story for an Eastern audience. BooTown puts their own spin on this classic form by cutting and re-editing a cult film and re-interpreting the plot. To make it even more interesting, all of the dialogue and music is performed live.

Director Lindsay Burleson (BooTown’s Co-Artistic Director) has turned the original spaceman soldier extraordinaire plotline into one featuring an angst riddled young teen with a pituitary gland disorder. We can’t say for sure whether the shirt is staying on for this bout, but we can promise you will laugh your own pants off.

Assisting Burleson will be a cast of voices including anime voice genius Andrew Love, local improver Ruth Hirsch, and funny-man-about-town Conner Clifton. Houston musician Joe Wozny will return to write and perform an original score for the performance. Austin Havican, BooTowns resident video wizard, will edit the movie.

In keeping with the company’s mission of producing in unexpected venues, I DON’T WANNA, YOU CAN’T MAKE ME will start with two nights at the Orange Show (2402 Munger), then move to Rudyard’s British Pub (2010 Waugh), home of BooTown’s monthly Grown-up Storytime series, and a Super Secret location to be announced on May 24th. The performances at The Orange Show will also feature a set by Something Fierce, Vacation Eyes, and free beer from St. Arnolds.

The production runs during May (see calendar below). Tickets are a suggested $10 donation and can be purchased at the door, except for special pricing at The Orange Show. The content is not suitable for children. For more information, please visit www.bootown.org.

Saturday 23 May 2015 - Engine * Bald Eagle Burger * Lords of the Universe

 

Engine (Shreveport, LA)
https://www.facebook.com/thebandengine

 

Engine is a growing face in the southern music scene known best for their album “Lands of Sleep” and genre “space-western.” They have toured extensively on both coasts since their 2010 formation and participated in SXSW, Southsounds, Tree Fort Festival, DemonFest, Mayfest, and more. The band found their roots playing gospel, rhythm and blues and have since added psych rock elements to the mix. Engine is currently in the process of releasing their fourth full-length album “Red Moon Rises” which they recorded, produced, and pressed themselves in their north Louisiana community.

 

Bald Eagle Burger- (Houston, TX)
https://www.reverbnation.com/baldeagleburger

“Were government a mere manufacture or article of commerce, immaterial by whom it should be made or sold, we might as well employ her as another, but when we consider it as the fountain from whence the general manners and morality of a country take their rise, that the persons entrusted with the execution thereof are by their serious example an authority to support these principles, how abominably absurd is the idea of being hereafter governed by a set of men who have been guilty of forgery, perjury, treachery, theft and every species of villany which the lowest wretches on earth could practise or invent. What greater public curse can befall any country than to be under such authority, and what greater blessing than to be delivered therefrom. The soul of any man of sentiment would rise in brave rebellion against them, and spurn them from the earth.”

 

Lords of the Universe (Houston, TX)
(Sorry No Website)

The Lords of The Universe is a two piece instrumental band who’s sound is inspired by the origins of heavy metal. The band name draws on the psychology of creation mythology, and the idea that we as a band are serving as an antenna to receive the message of rock, and pass the gospel of metal on to you.
