The 2010 Houston Press Music Awards showcase and ceremony are inching ever closer, and we are very, very close to being able to announce this year's special guests at our showcase August 7 along Washington Avenue. We can also tell you that the list of local bands playing the showcase is just about finalized, although we won't be announcing that until we figure out when and where we're going to put them all.
Today we are pleased to bring you songs from Blaggards (Best Rock), DJ Red (Best Producer), Giant Battle Monster (Best Hardcore/Noise), The Live LIghts (Best EP), Heidi Massin (Best Instrumental/Experimental) and Weird Party (Best New Act). Those of you nominees who have already sent in your songs, please be patient; those of you who haven't, remember, that's [email protected]. Voting begins July 15.
