Today (Saturday, 10.11.08), Free Press Houston–which I write for from time-to-time–presents the latest installment of the Block Party. The fun takes place in the area of clubs around Westheimer and Taft in Montrose. Numbers, Mangos, AvantGarden, and Austin Layne Hotel all host stages this year.

The line-up includes a TON of local bands. In case you’re curious, but don’t have a clue or the time to check out all of the bands before heading down there, might I suggest the following line-up?

12-12:30: Swans Will Attack (Mango’s outside)
12:45-1:15: Karina Nistal (Numbers outside)
1:30-2: Wild Moccasins (Mangos outside)
2:15-2:45: D.R.U.M. (Austin Layne Hotel)
3-3:30: Hell City Kings (Numbers outside)
3:45-4:15: Copilot (Numbers inside)
4:30-5: go eat something, for God’s sake!
5:15-5:45: Basses Loaded (Avantgarden outside)
6-6:30: Come See My Dead Person (Numbers outside)
6:45-7:15: The Ton Tons (Avantgarden outside)
7:20-7:50: Tambersauro (Mangos inside)
8:15-8:45: Buxton (Austin Layne Hotel)
