Tonight: Born Liars + DILLAgence + Robert Ellis

I know I’ve already talked up the show I’d most like to see tonight, were I not still broken from the past several days’ traveling, but that’s definitely not all that’s going on this evening, Wed., February 9th…

First & foremost, the ever-awesome {Born Liars} are playing a free show at Mango’s, alongside still-need-to-hear-’em (but widely-praised) band {The Energy}. I fucking love the Liars, seriously, and their most recent album, Fast Songs Is All We Know, has only cranked that love down even tighter. Snarling, noisy-yet-tight garage-punk heaven.

Then there’s the DILLAgence show over at The Mink, which features the excellent Jett I. Masstyr & is a benefit for the J.Dilla Foundation, which I’d, um, never heard of ’til this show.

Of course, last but not least, {Robert Ellis} is doing his weekly thing over at Fitz, and Ellis is always cool. So brave the cold, fellow Houstonians — it ain’t snowing, for crying out loud. Don’t be pansies like those folks up in Dallas. (Oh, wait; it did snow up there? Whoops.)
