In a post of shameless promotions for people we love, let me tell you about my brother’s band’s new CD. It’s effing amazing. I’ll let him tell you about it: We’ve put our best efforts into an amazing five song EP entitled “A Preachy Catfish” and we want you to know that it is available…

DrumJam at Stubb’s tonight
DrumJam plays the Official Blue October Aftershow at Stubb’s tonight, doors at 11:30pm & show at midnight. I love DrumJam’s live performances, but I also felt the desire to post this because I have to brag on myself for two seconds. Basically, I don’t really like Blue October’s music personally. BUT before they were REALLY…

Monster Big Band at Elephant Room
I don’t normally do jazz–or Wednesday night concerts, for that matter. But a musically-inclined friend who once played for me the jazz version of Pharrell’s Frontin’ and absolutely blew my mind organized a group to hit up Elephant Room tonight for this show, so how can I say no? After a stop at La Condesa…
Bar News + Ho Bus T-Shirts
So I’ve heard a few rumors about new or new-ish bars in town, just thought I’d share: Tonight starting at 10 pm is Jason Carrier’s Birthday Party at Molotov. Who? And why do you care? Jason is 1/4 of the Band of Bachelor Bros. that own Dizzy Rooster, Chuggin’ Monkey, Thirsty Nickel, Marq, and now…
