Buenas tardes Houston,

It is a great weekend for rock fans: Creed is playing Cynthia Woods this Saturday while Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper will be playing the same venue Sunday evening. 

For a few under-the-radar acts, check out the list below.

1. Mk.gee - a southern New Jersey native who played Jimmy Kimmel’s show earlier this year, this experimental indie artist with a new album debut will be playing at White Oak Music Hall this Friday. 

2. El Grito - this Sunday is Mexican Independence Day! Miller Outdoor Theatre will feature Caña Dulce y Caña Brava, who will play traditional string instruments such as the harp and the jarana, percussion and zapateado following the Grito ceremony.

3.  Luna Li - this 27 year-old from Toronto will be playing chill indie pop (guitar reminiscent of Mac DeMarco) this Sunday at White Oak Music Hall.
