Houston is the red headed step child of Austin, TX. They have Austin City Limits, we have the Battle of the Bands... until now with the Free Press
Summer Festival (August 8-9, 2009). Around 50 bands will perform, mostly Texan artists including Houston's: Young Mammals, Grrl Parts, and Wild Moccasins. Also Austin artists: Octopus Project, The Sword, Voxtrot, and What Made Milwaukee Famous. But what makes this festival outstanding is the surprising appearances by Broken Social Scene, Explosions In the Sky, and Of Montreal! Well worth the 2 Day $16 pass.
