Please go vote for your favorite local bands in the 2007 Houston Press Music Awards.

There are some bands missing from the list, in my opinion, but the public has spoken. There are also a few bands listed that I feel don’t qualify as “local,” but maybe that’s just me. Go check it out here and cast your vote. I’ll restrain from recommendations…

Also, be sure to mark your calendars for this year’s showcase, which is July 29th in downtown Houston. More information–including performers, locations, and showtimes–can be found in this week’s Houston Press.
