HOOTENANNY 2: TWOTENANNY! UPDATES!

AVAST! The next HOOTENANNY is a mere MONTH AWAY! NO! We are not talking about the new Weezer tour of the same name (Sorry Weezer, Awesome! played as you during the first Hootenanny, but if you would like you can play as Awesome! at HOOTENANNY 3: TROITENANNY!). We're talking about that ultra plus super max fun night where some of our favorite Houston bands get all under the covers by playing a set as one of their fav bands. First off: Lineup Updates.

Joining the lineup are two new additions since the last time we wrote: Welfare Mothers and Wild Moccasins. Now, the Welfare Mothers are going to be breaking the stage lights as none other than Mr. Johnny Cash. Stoked. Wild Moccasins are still keeping it a little close to the chest on their choice... but could it be, could the rumors be true? Streetlights? People? We won't stop believing.

Also in TWOTENANNY! news, you'll recall earlier that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are being performed by Tody Castillo and "Friends." Well, sorry 'bout that Ross and Rachel cause we just got news as to who these so-called "Compadres" actually are. Read em and weep like a Joey spin-off: Benjamin Davis Murphy (Bright Men of Learning), Arthur Yoria, Kurt Coburn (The Scattered Pages) and Travis Foster. Talk about a super group! They should have just played as the Traveling Wilburys. For your memory banks, here is the full lineup:

American Sharks as The Cars
Buxton as Bjork
Custom Drinker (Marshall Preddy) as Rod Stewart
Flowers to Hide as The Cure
The Kimonos as Blondie
Paris Falls as Rush
Sharks and Sailors as The Police
Today Castillo and Friends as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Welfare Mothers as Johnny Cash
Wild Moccasins as TBD

Woah. Just take a step back at look at that lineup. Damage man, Damage. TWOTENANNY! will once again be at the Mink's Backroom, both upstairs and down with staggered sets, on Saturday July 26th and will set you back a measly $5. We'll have more details when the date gets closer. Party.
