SPACE CITY ROCK: Houston Music

KNOW ABOUT A SHOW?

Shows, shows, and more shows. Know about a show we don't? Send mail to "shows" at "spacecityrock.com" (sorry for the non-interactive e-mail address, but we're swamped with spam junk), and dammit, we'll try our best to put it up here. This can't work, though, unless we actually hear about the shows, so...

KEY

Shows with local Houston bands in funky gold text.
Shows that we think will be particularly cool are in bold.
