FREE PRESS ANNOUNCES FALL WESTHEIMER BLOCK PARTY

OH SNAP GET YR HAIRNETS READY! The details of this fall's twice annual Free Press Westheimer Block Party have been unleashed upon us, and, like a gigantic strawberry topping funnel from the sky, we will now cover you with that sweet sticky knowledge. Scheduled for Saturday October 13th, it will feature all the usual confluence of music, local artists, and cold chicken strips, BUT ALSO a new "Abstraction Art Show" in the recently re-opened Avant Garden (where Helios once was, but now its actually the kind of place you would want to go to). Not enough for you, hippy? How about a solar-powered stage at Numbers? Let's just hope it doesn't rain like it did this spring (but we still had an ACES TIME!) Other venues in the mix include La Strada and Mango's Cantina. BUT WHO SHALL PLAY THESE STAGES? Word we are hearing right now is that, among the 50+ acts to eventually rock a mic, these are confirmed:

Spain Colored Orange, Golden Axe, The Scattered Pages, Karina Nistal,
.bellville, skyblue72, Million Year Dance, Tha Fucking Transmissions,
Peekaboo Theory, Elaine Greer, Generic Tribe, Free Radicals, Ernie
Banks, Captain Asian and the Electrics, Rise over Ruin, Dirtybird,
Studemont Project, Novice, Medicine Show, Econo, Riff Tiffs, Organ
Failure, Guy Schwartz, Nosaprise, Prodigal Sons, Dead Roses and Concrete
Rose Cabaret.

The complete list, along with, we are told, schedules, are set to come out September 15th. Keep it tuned here to get that hot carmel from the sky.
