We are pleased as polesliders to be the ones to break this news to you, because its pretty whips to know that you already have your first big show in 2008 to attend. Yes, AG/BDM/TSN present HOOTENANNY!, an afternoon of some of the Bayou City’s best playing sets as other bands. Two stages, all day long and all day strong. Here’s who’s confirmed so far:

Fatal Flying Guilloteens as Scratch Acid/Jesus Lizard
Indian Jewelry as Depeche Mode
The Dimes as The Pixies
The Mathletes as Guided by VoicesThe Flaming Lips
Paper Moons as Pedro the Lion

Also on the bill, but yet to confirm precisely which band they will be playing as are Bring Back the Guns, The Jonx, BLADES, Satin Hooks, Something Fierce and other slammin' slammers sure to be confirmed very very soon.

The whole schebang will take place in The Mink’s Backroom and will cost you a paltry $5. More details coming soon – but mark out January 5th on your calendar; you’ve got a date with distinction.
