Local act Strangelight has again organized what is one of Houston’s best chances to catch local bands and help a good cause — Dreamfest 2.
Dreamfest 2 is this Saturday (May 28th, 2005). Bands will be playing at three clubs on Washington Ave. — The Rhythm Room (1815 Washington Ave., near downtown), Mary Jane’s Fat Cat (4216 Washington Ave., between Shepherd and Waugh), and Walter’s (4215 Washington Ave., across from Mary Jane’s). Bands begin at 4 p.m. and go until 2 a.m.
