Bad news + possibly-confusing news, I'm afraid, w/a couple of tonight's shows. First off, just got word from Jason, bassist for Alkari, that tonight's Free Press Houston Recession Thursday show is a no-go. Something Fierce, Generation Landslide, Alkari, & Television Skies were all supposed to be braving the torrential downpour tonight at Numbers, but A) one of the bands playing got sick and B) one of the bands playing broke up. Dang.

Not sure yet which band broke up, although it's definitely NOT Alkari (sorry! messed that up the first time!), which is good (no offense to Television Skies or Gen. Landslide, but I really hope it's not Something Fierce...), 'cause they've got a cool-sounding show coming up a little ways down the road at Rudyard's on October 10th, with Orents Stirner & the ever-awesome Hearts of Animals. Mark yr calendars now and make grand offerings to the gods of illness and bad band breakups, y'all...

Now, if you were planning on going over to The Orange Show to catch Xiu Xiu, Carla Bozulich's Evangelista project, & Common Eider, King Eider, you're not totally out of luck, but you will need to re-Google. Due to the pounding rain most of the city appears to be experiencing, the outdoor stage at the Orange Show just wasn't gonna work, so the bands have all relocated to The Mink's Backroom (3718 Main). If you already got tickets, you're fine, but if you're planning on going & haven't gotten 'em yet, you might want to snag 'em here, 'cause apparently they're selling pretty fast ($10, I believe). Doors at 7PM, show at 8PM.
