LOOK AT THIS CHART OF THIS WEEKEND!


DAAAAAANG! LOOK AT THIS WEEKEND. IT’S LITERALLY OFF THE CHART! YOU CAN’T SEE THE TOP! DAAAAANG!

Oh hai. It’s nice to be back. And what good timing to be able to do so. We won’t bother you with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that kept us away. And we won’t even promise that it won’t happen again. So get while the getting’s good – and as though doing some sort of bizzaro version of the weather, the next couple days, are gonna be hella fine like Chilean wine. Check it.

FRIDAY
KA-NIVES, THE DIMES, AMERICAN SHARKS @ CROCKER HOUSE
CHHHWHAT? Is Crocker House the new Faegen House?! No. To our knowledge, Bobby DJ has never taken off his shirt there in anger. Neither has Erik Bogle shot anyone with a BB gun because it’s hilarious. BUT, they are doing a more than respectable job of hosting some top notch live entertainment. And COUP of ALL COUPS has got to be having The Ka-Nives play your home in their first Houston show in a year. Good work. Now we don’t know exactly where Crocker House is, and actually, it’s rumored to be an apartment. BUT – we can give you the hint to head on over to Crocker Street, and go to the place in the middle of all the parked cars lining the street. Or ask someone who knows. This is an EARLY house show, cause we know the Police don’t like house shows. Don’t expect anything to be happening after 10. Seriously. UPDATE: OUR BAD. THIS SHOW STARTS AT 9:30. GO GO GO!

SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS @ WALTER’S
This show is SOLD OUT its so off the charts (CHARTS!!!). There won’t be any walk-up tickets sold either. SBT! You already know if you’re gonna go, and hopefully you already picked up your suit from the drycleaner. If you’re on the list, here’s a helpful video to show you what you are missing.

SPAIN COLORED ORANGE, PARIS FALLS, HEIST AT HAND @ THE PROLETARIAT
So begins the final countdown. Your last chance to see any of these three at the Prolo before she shuts her doors for good. We’ve seen many a SCO/PF bill on that stage, including a few we helped put together. Weepy are the eyes. What can we say, this is a solid lineup, and the night will be hot, bumpin’, and busy. Good to see Heist at Hand is still playing shows, by the way. OH ALSO – Bug Paris Falls for a copy of their forthcoming Vol II. It’s Whips.


SATURDAY
SATURDAY SECRET SHOW @ THE SHADY TAVERN
OH MAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE CHART! We wish we could tell you the lineup for this show, rumored to be The Ka-Nives, The Dimes and Bright Men of Learning. But that would be not in keeping with the spirit of the Saturday Secret Show. Cause if The Ka-Nives, The Dimes and Bright Men of Learning play, this will be the most next-level SSS ever. And you know that, if the line-up was, say, The Ka-Nives, The Dimes and Bright Men of Learning, that it’s gonna be packed and you are gonna wanna bring a JUG of your own cause the lines are gonna be off the chart (HEY GO LOOK AT THE CHART AGAIN) is the bands playing are The Ka-Nives, The Dimes and Bright Men of Learning. Bands start at 2, at the Shady Tavern. Bring Five bucks, we’ll have Skyline Shirts for sale, especially if the lineup is The Ka-Nives, The Dimes and Bright Men of Learning.

Sole and The Skyrider Band, Telephone Jim Jesus and GIANT PRINCESS @ THE PROLETARIAT
WHO? WHO CARES! JUST GO! HOW MANY MORE SATURDAY NIGHTS DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE HERE? ONE MORE, IT TURNS OUT! Actually, we’ve been meaning to catch Giant Princess; they’re fun, melodic, driving and could be a sleeper candidate for one of the best new acts this year. Good for fans of the Dimes, we think (they even have a song called Delilah. Oops). ATTN TELEPHONE JONES: Putting “Jesus” in your band name is not shocking.

EAT GRAPES, MLEE MARIE, ELAINE GREER @ NOTSUOH
CRAP! WE THOUGHT THIS WAS NEXT WEEKEND! OUR APOLOGIES! PLEASE DON'T HATE! CAP! LOOK AT THE CHART, HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY GET THIS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!

BORN LIARS, SOMETHING FIERCE, CANYON OF THE SKULL, THE MONOCLES @ RUDYARDS
WOAH! TURN DOWN THE CHARTOMETER! ITS WRECKING THE RAFTERS LIKE WILL ADAMS AT A COMEDY SHOWCASE! Fresh (as in, hopefully showered) off their Teenage Mustache Tour, The Monocles and Something Fierce will tear it to tours. Born Liars don’t take their name very seriously when it comes to bringing the rock. It’s really not fair that all this stuff is the same weekend. SPACE IT OUT PEOPLE!

LADIES NIGHT OUT TOUR FEATURING BEL BIV DEVOE, TONI, TONY TONI, KEITH SWEAT AND GUY @ RELIANT ARENA
Um….. ladies night out? MORE LIKE EVERY PARTY PERSON IN THE HOUSE NIGHT! THAT GIRL IS POISON! TONI TONY TONE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Seriously could be the only show that could ever possible follow an afternoon with The Ka-Nives, The Dimes, and Bright Men of Learning, if they happened to be playing the Saturday Secret Show.

HEY! GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE CHART! WERE WE RIGHT OR WHAT?!

"So begins the final countdown."

You know that international law decrees that using Final and Coundown together in that are order has been considered torture since like the 1986.



PS. Hooray a Skyline Post!!!!!!

Great to see you back. I really look forward to your blogs. Thanks for the hint on the Secret Show. I think they should let you reveal it every Friday just to make sure more people go. Well, I was thinking about going to see a movie Saturday night, but may just have to push it back as that Rudyard's show or Proletariat looks pretty tempting...
See you at Sharon Jones or are you hitting the Prole? I've got some buddies supposed to go to that. Maybe if there's any gas left in the tank after SJ...
