When the House of Blues throws a party, they don’t mess around. And when House of Blues throws a Mardi Gras party you can pretty much count on a night to remember (or wish you could remember). We were thrilled to be asked to play at House of Blues Houston’s Mardi Gras party a couple weeks ago and, trust us, it was worth the drive! Many thanks to Amy Perkins for these killer black and white photos from the show.

SXSW is rapidly approaching, and that means it’s time for all the various SXSW-centric web sites to spring into action. One of our favorites is Hippohonk, where they rate all the SXSW showcasing bands on how badly they would like to go see their show. Last we checked, they had ROXY ROCA ranked at #42 out of the roughly 400 bands they had rated so far. Nice!
Welcome to hippohonk.com, where a team of well seasoned concert-goers look at lineups to major music festivals, listen to as many bands as they can on that lineup, and then rate the bands based on how badly they would like to go see their show (as if that wasn’t obvious from the website name). While they realize this endeavor is slightly subjective and a tad narcissistic, they also realize that they have the best taste in music and are awesome, so… The system is simple, they listen to a few songs using whatever (generally cruddy) website the band has chosen to post their music, then they rate the band from 1 to 5: 5′s the best, 1′s the worst. Then they average their ratings, and put them on this amazing site for you to peruse. So, if you’re planning on going to any of these festivals, this is a great place to start.
