I’m not sure if I believe the weather forecast this week. It looks awesome outside right now, and it’s just about 100 degrees, but they say it’s going to storm all weekend? Ridiculous. Anyway, this weekend preview is so late that it’s already calling me about child support. Time to stop chit chatting and get this thing did.
Check out the weather and shows below the break!
Friday – 7/16 – Isolated T-Storms – 99/74
Saturday – 7/17- Isolated T-Storms -88/71
Sunday – 7/18- Isolated T-Storms -93/74
Friday
The Hogwaller Ramblers – Fridays After Five – 5:30PM – Free!
-I know I’ve picked on this sort of behavior in the past, but now I just kinda think it’s awesome. The Ramblers are playing 3 days of shows this weekend, and I think that’s just great. I also like the Hogwaller Ramblers, so I may be biased. I can’t not approve of a person that can make music with a washboard.
The Love Language & Drunk Tigers – The Southern – 8PM – $8/advance – $10/day of show
Saturday
The Hogwaller Ramblers & Rose’s Pawn Shop – The Southern – 8PM – $8
-Rose’s Pawn Shop is actually the headlining band here, but screw it. It’s a Hogwaller Rambler’s weekend.
B.B. King – The Pavilion – 7PM – $33-$82
-You should go to this. If you haven’t seen B.B. King before, you need to see him once before he kicks off. I had this same theory about James Brown the last time he came to town, and he was dead within months. I’m not saying that I’m the angel of death, but I’m not not saying that either.
The Brian Patrick Band – Rapunzel’s – 8PM – $5
-A friend of mine plays pedal steel and guitar with this group, and it’s a sight to behold. Pedal steel is awesome, and you don’t find it very often. If you’re anywhere near this show, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Sunday
The Hogwaller Ramblers – Fellini’s #9 – 10PM – Free!
Lady Antebellum – The Pavilion – 7PM – $35-$45
-So… if I’ve got this right… this band is famous for a song about a booty call? Ok, maybe that’s not so bad. But still, that song is on the radio every five minutes and is a summary what’s wrong with popular country music. Meh.
Secretly Y’all: Secret Shame – Random Row Books – 7PM – $5 (suggested donation)
-Go. To. This. It’s the last SY for a couple of months, and everybody’s favorite MC may be retiring. Monday looks like it’s going to be a sick day.
What else is going on this weekend?

Oh! I fucked up! I forgot to mention one of the best shows this weekend!
Tonight at The Bridge! 8PM/$5!
LOUDNESS & AWESOMENESS! w/ Worn In Red, After Colony, GRIDS, Sharkopath
It’s a punk show with 4 bands and two stages. The bands are Worn in Red, After Colony, GRIDS, and Sharkopath.
I’ve seen Worn in Red do this sort of stage switching show before, and it’s awesome. Basically, there’s no more than a minute between bands. As soon as Band 1 finishes up on Stage A, Band 2 starts on B. Band 2 finishes on B, Band 3 starts on A, so on and so forth. These shows are crazy fun.
Go!
