Very cool bands in town this week. Check ’em out:
Spiritual Cramp - with a punk-inflected sound reminiscent of ‘70s and ‘80s, they’ll be at White Oak Sunday.
Jazz Rock Sunday - three local artists, one with jazz-infused pop (Angie J) and two of Houston’s best alt-rock bands (Almost a Cow & Juvenoia). Check them out Sunday at Dan Electro’s.
Unwed Sailor - post rock dream pop founded in Seattle and currently residing in Tulsa Oklahoma, you’ll find their subtle sound at 1810 Ojeman Saturday night.
