The Shout Out Louds

When this Swedish band brought its impressive mix of retro synthpop, new-wave cool and modern indie rock to town back in March, it was relegated to opening for a little-known act at a little-used venue. At the time, the Shout Out Louds' CD wasn't even available in the States, and the band's first U.S. single hadn't yet graced iTunes. Now vengeance belongs to the Shout Out Louds as they return to support their Capitol debut, Howl Howl Gaff Gaff, with a headlining spot at one of Houston's best venues.
