From HoustonSoReal’s Matt Sonzala:

One of my favorite rappers, Money Waters, is going to be in Houston doing some promo next weekend and was looking for a show. Since he’s from Dallas and kind of unknown around these parts, I decided to do a lil birthday party for my 35th and have him perform. Dude is off the hook. If you haven’t heard him yet check out his MySpace. I don’t think he put his best songs up there but you’ll get the idea. He’s soulful and raw like Devin the Dude, still street, but more playful and intelligent than a lot of these rappers today. Both of his albums jam, but you know he’s from Dallas and hasn’t gotten a lot of shine out here yet.

Anyway, I was talking to my man KB at The Cotton Exchange and he invited Money and I to share his hottest weekly party on Sunday, January 14th. Every Sunday at The Cotton Exchange, the band Peekaboo Theory plays along with DJ Sun and DJ Melodic. The bar is beautiful and there’s an incredible vibe there on Sunday nights. In my opinion, Peekaboo Theory are pretty much the most interesting band happening in Houston right now. They incorporate spaced out electro beats with their soulful rock and really kill it live. I recommend seeing them soon.

Like next week, on the 14th.

Anyway y’all, I haven’t seen most of you since before the holidaze, and would love to catch up. It should be quite an affair, details below!
