Wild Moccasins - Fruit Tea from If You Make It on Vimeo.
Sorting through some old submissions we’ve been meaning to post up - we’ve got to give credit to The Baristas for making such an awesome e.p. Not sure how long this bands been doing what they do, but checking The Baristas myspace from the videos they posted up, they might of just recently changed there [...]
As the Wild Moccasins go off on tour, we have to say goodbye to our favorite guitar player at IH, Andrew Lee. Luckily, we have this wonderful video to reflect upon while we fantasize about how awesome of a time he must be having being a rockstar. The Wild Moccasins finished off their last show [...]
MP3: SINGS :: You’re
Each CD case for Sings’ self-titled LP was glue-gunned together with scraps of yarn, poker cards and sandpaper by Brett Taylor (former guitarist of By the End of Tonight). The music inside is similarly delicate, personal, and purposefully shabby. Against a rich background of creaking, scraping, and ratcheting noises, Taylor accompanies himself on guitar [...]

ArtStorm Records has released a 500ct CD-R release with new tracks home recorded . An impressive lineup of a CD to run into while looking for the remote at 5am, but easily the first thing to play to end/start the morning. I was definitely excited to hear rare unreleased recordings of some my [...]
It looks as though the band Buxton is pulling out the 7 incher from Heaven to bring Houstonians what they love. It’s great when you can see a band grow in your own city to release a smooth 7inch vinyl record all over the town folk’s faces. An incredibly uncomfortable feeling urges me to revise the sentence [...]

This is a video submission from a promising band based out of Humble, Texas. They will be playing this coming July 2 at Mango’s Vegetarian Cafe in Montrose. Check ‘em out.
I haven’t been able to get onto this website and blog about art and music in Houston lately. But, while perusing the new media up on IH, I found this Untitled video by Christopher Patterson. Chris P was the guy behind the camera and editing the film for the Sings video called “You’re” and Andrew Lee’s music video for the song “Trashtown”. Both videos incorporate a lot of faces that frequent 1816 Calumet. I found this short film which features a soundtrack B L A C K I E, Sings, LIMB, and Mirah to a dark haunting flick that left me feeling remote and alone.

White Lies Black Sheep is the second film from James Spooner, the mulatto punk rock documentarian behind 2003’s Afro Punk, and will soon be shown in Houston on June 19th (better known as Juneteenth to us Texans; how appropriate) at the indiehouston.org house (1816 Calumet in Third Ward). The film tells the tale of A.J., a Black club promoter running rampant in the early 2000’s era New York indie rock scene, and the tensions he faces amongst his peers. Soon as he begins to discover more about his own heritage, embracing it fully, he finds out his new interests aren’t so accepted by his friends and co-workers who begin to think he’s becoming “too black.” Self questioning, tight pants, unemotional sex with an average looking stranger, and lots of drinking ensue. A must see for all those who have shared A.J.’s dilemma and all those curious about the only Black guy at the indie rock show.
Organized by local chainsaw pop rap artist Fat Tony, the film screening will also feature performances by himself, the founder of U.S. Grime B L A C K I E, the soulful bedroom pop sounds of Austin’s The Cocker Spaniels, and new Houstonian by way of D.C. Love Field.
Love Field is a solo project by Ryan Grimes, formerly of Cutlery and Downtown Singapore, which combines the lush sounds of ambience and electronics, with all the guitarmanship, whispers that shake buildings, and beautifully woeful bellowing of post-hardcore rock ‘n’ roll. Set your phasers on dream pop, Houston. Leave the kill mode for the next jerk off. Ryan sat down with me for a few a moments and graciously took some questions about the film, Love Field, Afro Punk, and the Houston scene.
How did you first get involved with WLBS? Tell us a little about the film.
White Lies/Black Sheep is a “documentary” about a young black party/concert promoter in the New York punk scene and his journey to essentially find himself. He feels betrayed by his desire to enjoy the scene when he starts to realize that not everything around him is clear cut and black and white. I first got involved with the film when James Spooner asked my old band Cutlery to do the score. We had been playing Afro Punk shows and the annual festival for a few years and we grew to be friends. Our music fit the overall feel of the movie and it was just natural for us to work on it with him. (more…)
I love Rudz‘ burgers. I’ve looked down and seen the image at :09 many times. It’s always a good feeling. Anyways, here the music video for the song “Aliens” by Something Fierce.
