Incubus, The Delta Spirit Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion |
Fri., August 21, 6:00pm |
Outside Houston |

 It doesn't matter whether you call them indie-core, modern rock, or "Buzz" rock, The Last Place You Look still knows their way around a hook and power chord.

 Film critic Gerhard Midding described the heroine in director Antonio Pietrangeli's 1965 film I Knew Her Well as a "lusty Mediterranean Holly Golightly."
