Something Fierce, Impulse International, Muhammadali The Mink |
Mon., August 17, 8:00pm |
Montrose |
|
 With a helluva live show and already garnering a devoted following, Muhammadali is knocking ‘em dead left and right. Ok, we had to get the boxing reference out of the way, because as much as we tried to sidestep it, we couldn’t resist. Since releasing a split cassette with party boys... More >> |

Davila 666, Giant Princess Mango's |
Mon., August 17, 9:00pm |
Montrose |
|
 Davila 666 is Puerto Rico's answer to the Black Lips and my answer to the question: When will a new band seriously brainwash me on its music? Since picking up Davila's debut disc, I've refused to put it back down. These delirious rockers possess their Atlanta brethren's ability to come off like... More >> |

Montrose |
|
 Who says artists don't have a sense of humor? Jessica Moon Bernstein, one of the artists with work in "Detritus," certainly does.

Andrew Jackson Jihad, O' Pioneers!!!, Molotov Compromise Mango's |
Thu., August 20, 8:00pm |
Montrose |
|
 "Folk-punk" has become a four-letter word recently, with every two-bit hack thinking that picking up a poorly tuned acoustic and ceasing to bathe equals talent. While that doesn't work for most, Arizona beard farmers Andrew Jackson Jihad have harnessed the spontaneity of folk-punk and fused it... More >> |

Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 21 until Sun., February 28, 11:00am-7:00pm |
Montrose |
|
 Given the national obsession with the "Body Worlds" exhibition - in which real bodies are plasticized and opened up so we can all look inside ourselves - the Menil Collection's new "Body in Fragments" exhibition should be popular. But it should also appeal to those who'd like to have a more... More >> |

Little Joe Washington Boondocks |
Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm |
Montrose |
|
 On his second album for Austin's Dialtone Records (following 2003's Houston Guitar Blues), the blues flows so effortlessly out of Little Joe Washington's guitar it's hard to believe any of these 14 songs needed more than one take.
