HEY. Check out this intro paragraph. We got nothing. Hit it.

FRIDAY
HEALTH, BLACKIE, The McKenzies, The Wiggins, Female Demand, Rusted Shut, the Krinkies @ Notsuoh
The original Health show, from Wednesday, was cancelled due to the rain. But Health stuck around and is now headlining a lumber length bill combining that show with the Rusted Shut event that Notsuoh already had going on. The event kicks off at 8pm and we are assured by the promoter (Mr. Free Press Hisself) that HEALTH will go on before 11:20. So. There you go.

Pierced Arrows, Rustler, Motion Turns it On @ Rudyards
Pierced Arrows hail FROM THE GREAT NORTHWEST and carry for the sound and some of the members of underground favs Dead Moon (so says their MySpace, anyways). Strong as they may be as an incentive to go, lookie right below – RUSTLER is back after an extended break, warming things up with their SCIENCE of instrumental. MTIO!

Mechanical Boy (CD release), Thee Armada, The Last Place You Look, Velora, The Tastydactyls @ Fitzgerald’s
You know, we were all stoked to post the video for Thee Armada’s “Rock Shock and Load”, but it’s been removed from YouTube due to a Copyright Violation?! which just totally makes our morning a whirl of suck because there’s something about that thing that just makes us really happy.

ALSO:
Ben Folds @ Warehouse Live

SATURDAY
Cold War Kids @ Warehouse Live
Everytime we hear this band name we think of Red Dawn and WOLVERINES and then get lost in our thoughts trying to figure out what the name of that mini-series was where some part of the country was part of the Soviet Union but we were so young when we saw it we don’t even know if it might actually just be something we made up or it could have even been a book and this entire last sentence is IMPOSSIBLE to Google. Oh yeah, this band is great too.

Underworld’s Halloween Bash, featuring Asmodeus X, Phase Theory, Negative Impact (CD release), & The Dead Bang @ Numbers
Oh man, everyone should do one Goth-related thing a year, even if it’s as pedestrian as sitting around for an entire evening blaring the crap out of your Bauhaus records or breaking out that terrible Cleopatra Records boxed set you bought for that girl sophomore year of college but never got the nerve to give her because, let’s face it, she was so Goth and you were so square but in retrospect she really wasn’t, it was just that she had a crush on one of the guys in Stabbing Westward. Going to a Goth Halloween party at Numbers (where one of the bands has a record release, no less) is kind of like crushing all those things together and mainlining them with a Steampunk syringe.

ALSO
Herman’s Hermits and The Triumphs @ Stafford Centre
Ladyheat, Electric Attitude, Elaine Greer @ Notsuoh
Spain Colored Orange, Program, Paris Falls @ Rudyard’s
The Horrorpops, Beat Union, 7 Shot Screamers @ The Meridian
Locksley, Hymns @ The Jet Lounge

SUNDAY
Workshop Houston Benefit, featuring Japanther, Killer Dreamer, The American Sharks, The Mathletes, Grrrl Parts, & Fat Tony @ Caroline Collective
We can’t say enough about this bill, or this cause. These are the folks that do Third Ward Bikes, and as if a great touring outfit, a rawkus house party band, and the act with the best entry in the Scene Wikki wasn’t enough, remember that Fat Tony won best underground rapper and the Houston Press Music Awards this year. There’s also a craft fair. Gets started at 4pm. All the details are on the Caroline Collective website.

Rabid Rabbit, A Thousand Cranes @ Walter’s
Rabit Rabbit is described as “ex Electric Set” which is like saying “fellow travelers of Indian Jewelry” which is like saying “this could totally rule.” A Thousand Cranes will drone your mind.

ALSO
Polysics, Jaguar Love and Black Gold @ The Meridian
Crime in Stereo, Polar Bear Club, Broadway Calls, The Swellers @ The Mink
The Offsping @ Verizon Wireless
Rick Springfield @ House of Blues
