For those of you not brave enough to endure the packed-ness of The Mink for tonight’s Hootenanny!, there’s more great local music at Numbers tonight (Sat., 1.5.08). Riff Tiffs, whose Afflictinnitus is a great listen, play with Studemont Project (check iTunes for their stuff), Television Skies, and American Fangs. This is a benefit for the Houston Food Bank and is sponsored by the Free Press.

Apparently, someone at Free Press got a little bent out of shape at The Skyline Network, which you can read about here. Why do I suddenly feel like Extra or something? Anyway, both shows will be good. Your call.
