Need some shows to see in the near future? Check out this list of February’s shows from The Treaty Oak Collective. Brandon’s got some great stuff lined up, including a Co-Pilot appearance, and seven-inch release shows from American Sharks and Peloton.
Mark up that calendar and save those nights.

This happens tomorrow night. Lords Of The Universe is a Black Sabbath cover band featuring Roy Mata, Jeff Poppe, John Adams and Dann Miller. They were originally supposed to play on New Year’s at the Proletariat once upon a time (in 2005), but it never happened.
Mango’s Adds More Shows
Brandon Lemons, new booker at Mango’s, wrote in to give us some news. Not only have the following shows been added to the calendar, but also some changes are afoot at the corner of Westheimer & Taft.
Lemons is having a web designer redo the venue’s website, bringing it up to date, “calendar and all.” In addition, he writes that he’s convincing the owner to put in wood floors to make the sound better. That’s good news, people.
Shows
09/22: Jacuzzi Boys, The Wiggins, Titan Blood, Psychic Palms $TBA
09/30: Buxton, By The End Of Tonight, Cosmic Sound $8/9pm
10/29: Lords of the Universe, Indian Jewelry, Weird Party, Young Mammals $5/9pm
As I mentioned, much of the talk this week has been about the recent sale of The Mink and the subsequent shifting of staff.
I tracked down the parties involved for some follow-up conversations regarding the sale, the arrangement at Mango’s, and the upcoming show calendars. Read all about it at Rocks Off.

This is coming up in a month, and promises to be a noisy good time.
P.S. Balaclavas is also playing a free show tonight at Dean’s with Black Leather Jesus. Don’t forget.

Side Project Saturday at Mango’s.
I wanted to take a quick minute to spotlight Saturday’s show at Mango’s, as it features a brand new local band, Mikey & The Drags.
The Drags include former McKenzies frontman Miguel Ponce, and will be making their debut with this gig. I believe this is also the first show for Mario Rodriguez’s Bang Bangz project - you might know Mario from Tax The Wolf. Fernando of Somosuno trots out his well-versed side project Papaya, and Second Lovers rounds out the bill. All this will run you a scant five bones.
Thumbs up to Eric Castorena on the poster design, by the way.
Tonight, Weird Party finally puts out a proper release, their Honey Slides / Sarah Palin 7-inch. The free show at Mango’s also features The Mahas, Black Congress, and Titan Blood - the former and latter of which will have a new split cassette (yes, cassette) on hand that is limited to 40 copies.
The Busy Kids are one of my favorite new bands to watch in Houston. It’s sloppy, poppy, fun punk played by four girls - fronted by Niki Sevven of Something Fierce. For all its imprecision, it is damn fun. You really can’t help but love them when you see them live - which you can do tonight, when they play at Mango’s with White Crime and Black Wine.
This is the only recording that’s surfaced so far, but hopefully we’ll see a proper release from the group in the near future.
