This is kind of a shameless plug because I've known all the guys from the Dimes all throughout high school and seen them perform live in excess of 100 times, but it's nice to hear that they're finally getting some recognition down in Houston. Ratatat is a big name in the indie scene right now and they just keep pumping out the labyrinthy-synth-hip-pop hits. Despot is a rapper from Queens who was featured on the latest self-released Ratatat remix mixtape (Vol. II for those keeping count). 120 Days are a Swedish post-rock band that were getting a lot of hype around the time they played at CMJ in New York last fall, but I haven't heard much of them lately. Overall, a great outdoor show even in the Houston heat. If you're in the Houston metro area, you have to check this out! It's FREE!!
