• How About Some SXSW Day Parties? A LOT of SXSW Day Parties?

  We here at Rocks Off are only about a week away from chafed inner thighs, weird Japanese punk bands puking in hotel pools and sweating out our morning mojitos while walking to an art space off 4th Street. South By Southwest is now only a week away. It was all fun and games in December when we were posting our little suppositions of who would be playing, but now this shit is serious. In addition to all the nightly mess, SXSW is also a great place to get loaded on the cheap during the day. N

• SXSW: Austin Music Awards at Austin Music Hall

  Photos by Mark C. AustinAustin is full of ghosts, and not just at the Driskill Hotel. (Say hi to LBJ's mistress for us, though, those of you staying there.) Some of the ghosts aren't even dead. Take the Dicks (above), Austin's early-'80s hardcore trail-blazers who reconvened to play Wednesday night's Austin Music Awards and be inducted into the AMAs' Texas Music Hall of Fame - by X's Exene Cervenka, no less.Recognized today as one of the primary cornerstones of Texas punk, the Dicks' five-song s

• SXSW: Rachel Ray at Maggie Mae's

  Photos by Craig Hlavaty We valiantly attended the Rachael Ray party at Maggie Mae's on Sixth, braving free food curate by the talk show host and Rose's Mojitos by the gallon. Hometown boy Bob Schneider opened the show upstairs, doing his old reliable ladykilling jams. While downstairs New York's Semi Precious Weapons preened and pouted, jolting the middle of the road crowd out of their food coma with sleazy rock and roll straight outta the Bowery circa 1977. The food was excellent of course. N

• Rocks Off Checks Out Corpus Christi

  Photos by Craig Hlavaty This past weekend, Rocks Off took a respite from sweltering H-Town to visit family in our equallly sweltering, ball-sweat-inducing neighbor to the south. Corpus Christi is rather small compared the teeming ant farm we have here, topping just over a quarter of a million beachified and sunburned folks. Rocks Off has been coming to "The Sparkling City by the Sea" to visit his grandparents and burn layers off his skin since he was born. Over the past decade or so, Corpus has

• Social Distortion: Twitter Is Your Friend for the Weekend

  ​In a sprawling metropolis like Houston, how the hell do you decide what to do on the weekends?  Sure, you could subscribe to the latest newsletter for every single entertainment venue that mildly interests you in the region.  'Cause that totally worked in 2002.  So what if it's a big city, right?  Gmail's got a bazillion megabytes of storage, right?Wrong.  Well, not technically wrong, but morally wrong.  You do realize you don't need all that noise.  Yo

  Photo by Mark C. AustinThe Scabs​That was the question on Saturday, when downpours tested the drainage properties of the newly laid Zilker Park sod to test. Curiously, with the air still warm, the crowd seemed to take the growing swamp in stride, but you have to guess that with all the muddy-buddy action (Woodstock 40, friends?) the new field is going to need some attention, stat. One of the positive side benefits of the rain was that it forced folks to check out the off-neglected space th

• He Said She Said: Songs That Remind Us of Our Exes

  ​One thing that struck He Said while we were making this list was the lack of metal and/or punk rock associated with the women in our past. It's kind of odd that someone so dirty and haggard never dated anyone with a Crass patch on her denim jacket or Misfits tramp stamp. By looking at us, you would think that He Said's past would be riddled with second-hand Suicide Girls and angry bakers like Maggie Gyllenhaal's character in Stranger Than Fiction, ladies who carry knives and break bottles ove
