Introduction - what am I doing here? [7/09/2009 10:44:00 PM]:
Hello,
I'm Rock Houston.  I'm here to help you rock in the city we call home.  Space City Rock (my parent company) has been helping me do that for years and I want to repay the favor.  Several times now, I have come home after a show at 2 or 3am to email the "parent company" with some band names I want him to know about, and after awhile Jeremy told me I should blog about the shows I attend.  I mentioned that I don't have the writing skills that he does, but he hired me anyway.  I told him I would give bands "constructive criticism" if I didn't like them, and he hired me anyway.  When I say hire, I use that term loosely.  Hopefully it will get me into a few shows for free, but like everything in my life, I'm not doing this for money.
I'm always open to new bands.  If you want me to come hear you I will find the time at some point.  I have a love/hate relationship with Houston bands.  I love a few and hate a few, and I'm pretty indifferent to quite a few.  My tastes veer toward the operatic.  My favorite bands of the last 10 years are Muse, Ours, and At The Drive-In.  My favorite current Houston bands include Pale, The Tontons, Electric Attitude, and The Gold Sounds.  I loved 61 Cygni and mytwilightpilot when they were around, and I think I saw Arthur Yoria 25 times in about a year when he had Matt Reynolds on slide guitar.  I'm not a big fan of metal or emo but I can be swayed by good bands.  I've been in bands myself for over 20 years.  I know what it takes to get shows and to try to garner a following.  I'll do my best to help some of you do that through this blog.
