Down With The Scene [website] is helping stir up the independent music scene in Houston. Their next show is this Friday night — all ages — at Rhythm Room (1815 Washington Ave.).

The show features Dead Roses, The Wiggins, and Birth to Burial (from Denton). Information on the bands, including free MP3 downloads, are available at the Down With The Scene website.

From their website: “Down With the Scene is a showcase of the best underground music from Houston and around the region, with a loose focus on indie, hip-hop, and experimental acts. It especially seeks to expose new audiences to local musicians working outside the mainstream. DWTS happens on the last Friday or Saturday of every month at the Rhythm Room on Washington Avenue.

We’re especially interested to hear from/about musicians from elsewhere in Texas and around Southwest who can make the trek to Houston to play a good show.”

Interested musicians should contact DWTS via their website.
