Meshing with Sweeney are bassist Chris Bacos, fiddler Jennifer Neira and Lovers co-founder Thomas Ayresol. The Lovers' first gig was an acoustic charity show in front of Amy's Ice Cream in April, and now they've settled into an indefinite weekly Tuesday night spot at Rudyard's. There, in front of a wall-size Texas flag, the band runs through honky-tonked covers of tunes by everyone from Bob Wills to Hank Williams to the Who to Leadbelly to those Clancy Brothers. With Sweeney on vocals and guitar, Ayresol singing and swinging behind the drum kit and Neira with her saw-toothed accents, the Lovers are turning into another fine example of what Houston musicians -- for all their commercial ineptitude -- seem to do best: have one hell of a good time. At Rudyard's, 2010 Waugh Drive, at 10 p.m. Tuesday, July 30. Free. 521-0521. (
