Why Stop At One? H-Town Gets a Second Big-Ass Summer Music Festival [6/08/2009 12:05:00 AM]:

I saw some mysterious promo stuff about this a while back & didn't know what to make of it, but now the full lineup's been released, so...

Apparently H-town's in for not one but two awesome-sounding summertime music fests this year (and hopefully the next, if all goes well?); along with the Free Press Summerfest, now there's the Texas Heat Music Festival, scheduled for Sat., July 4th & Sun., July 5th downtown at Jones Plaza. It's a little pricier than the Summerfest, at $15 a day or $25 for both right now (soon to go up to $20/$25 or $30/$40), and it aims a bit more at the dance-minded than Summerfest, but hey, both festivals have excellent lineups.

Here's who all's lined up for Texas Heat:

The Rapture (DJ set only)
RJD2
People Under The Stairs
2020 Soundsystem
Drop The LimeHot Pink Delorean
Uzi and Ari
Roky Moon and Bolt
The Factory Party
Grandfather Child
The Mathletes
Spain Colored Orange
American Sharks
Glasnost
Alpaca
Benjamin Wesley
Electric Attitude
Female Demand
Warbler
Shina Rae
The Gold Sounds
Peekaboo Theory
Sad Gorilla
Tax The Wolf
Working Girls
Grizzly
Searching for Signal
The Button Freak
Ceeplus Bad Knives
GRRRL Parts
Josh Dupont
DJ Red
James Reed
Damon Allen
Bjorn Larsen
Chris Calix
Suraj K
Bmc
SDFONE
Page
TDBZ
Brandon Silva
Steve Mok
Bloxwerth
Kung Fu Pimp
DJ Dayta
G-Wizz
They Call Me Jep
El Roy Boogie
DJ Brad Slack & MC Gremlin
DJ Maximilian

I dunno a fair number of the out-of-towners (that first eight or so), but RJD2's one of my favorite producers ever -- I like his Soul Position stuff w/Blueprint better than the vocal-less stuff, but I'll take what I can get of the guy. Plus, there's The Rapture, although for my money a full-band show'd be much cooler than a DJ set. And hell, I didn't even know People Under The Stairs were still around.

The Music Lords, it would seem, are smiling down on us all, dancefloor mavens & indie-hipsters alike...
