Chicago’s The Hood Internet are masters of mixing rock and hip hop. Their “mixtapes” of unlikely pairings have earned them a devoted fanbase and a lot of press. The duo will be in Houston for Free Press Summer Fest, which is this weekend (June 5-6, 2010) in Eleanor Tinsley Park.

You can read an interview I did with The Hood Internet’s Steve Reidell for a SXSW preview in March at Spinner.com.

Here’s a sample of the band’s music:

The Hood Internet plays the Free Press Summer Fest after-party at Warehouse Live this Sunday (6.6.10) at 10pm. Don’t miss this set.
