In other news…

Tonight, Southern Backtones will play a show at Helios at midnight. Enjoy them while they’re still in Houston. The band recently signed a deal to get their song “Forever” available digitally in the UK (legally available, that is…)

Also, the band will play a handful of shows at SXSW and just before summer play four shows in New York City. Good for them. More info at the Southern Backtones website.

In other local band news, Bring Back the Guns now has beloved merchandise available via their website. T-shirts, CDs, and vinyl. Can’t go wrong there. More info here.

One last thing: Arthur Yoria, whose new EP is now available at his website, and Tody Castillo are playing an in-store show at Cactus Music and Video this Sunday afternoon. Free libations. More info here.
