• Aftermath: White Rhino at Boondocks

  Photos by Chris Gray "They're 'classic heavy rock,' or so they tell me," Aftermath texted a friend shortly before Austin's White Rhino went onstage at Boondocks Monday night. "Heavy metal, or just heavy?" came the reply. White Rhino had just gone on, with some menacing guitar spray and a kinetic bassline reminiscent of Detroit proto-punks the MC5. "Heavy. Little/no metal." The band played a couple more songs. "OK...maybe a little metal." Maybe a little more than a little.

• Requiem for Michael: The Last Rock Star

  Amid the past two weeks of Michael Jackson worship, the details of his drug use were slowly leaked out. The man had done enough painkillers and random legal narcotics that would make all-star druggies like Keith Richards and Lemmy Kilmister shudder and cower away. It's funny that this small and sprightly man, who enchanted everyone with his dancing and vocalizations, would be a walking pharmacy. In hindsight his erratic, yet meticulous behavior can now be chalked up to hard partying and narcissi

• He Said She Said: Ten Artists We Would Go Gay For

  ​It always happens: you and your friends toss back a few beers and the talk turns to what celebrities and models you find attractive. At first it starts out innocent enough, arguing the merits of Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Marissa Miller or Paula Deen. Well that last name is actually just our own fantasy. We think it has something to do with the use of butter and the whole "mama" thing. But somewhere along the line, someone says out loud, "Well, what guys do you think are good looking?" O

• Monday Morning Metal: And So Motorhead Week Begins...

  Let this video serve as a reminder to everyone that possibly the world's coolest band hits Warehouse Live Friday night . Seriously, the Rolling Stones are bitchin' , the Beatles are timelessly stellar, and Metallica always gets us off, but Lemmy and company pretty much own us. We aren't sure if the show is sold out yet, but if it isn't Houston, you guys are treading on thin ice with us. Anytime you see Motorhead could be the last time you see Motorhead because Lemmy at anytime could go down in

  Rocks Off isn't sure what "state" he will be in twelve hours from now. We sure as hell won't be able to legally operate heavy machinery, that's for damned sure. We plan on staying in Texas, but shit, who knows what could happen after tonight's Motorhead show at Warehouse Live. We may join the Bandidos and move to New Mexico and start our own biker-music blog. Baby, we just don't know, and you ain't gonna tie us down.

• Tonight: Thorriors Unite! (at Rudyard's)

  www.flickr.com/groups/thorriors/​ Tonight at Rudyard's, we'll be a part of the lusty and bearded throng throwing themselves in front of Valient Thorr and Early Man, with local cats the Hell City Kings and Golden Axe acting as support. Those two Houston bands alone would be enough rock and roll for one night, but alas, the gods are smiling upon us tonight while they flip both middle fingers at our long-term hearing ability. Chapel Hill, N.C.'s Valient Thorr is simply one of the best live acts

Hey, we're busy. But we need to get this thing passed along to its proper owners, whoever they may be, like, NOW. In case you forgot, it gets the winner and a guest into

• Aftermath: Wanda Jackson, Queen Mother of Rock and Roll, at the Continental Club

  Photos by Craig Hlavaty​ Wanda Jackson, unquestionably the true Queen Mother of rock and roll, was fashionably late getting on the stage Saturday night at the Continental Club. It was her seventy-second birthday, and she had played Austin the night before. Who could blame her for being a little slow to the drawl? Miss Wanda backs a mighty rockabilly howl in her tiny frame. If you would have seen her anywhere else other than the stage at the CC, you would have wanted to make sure that she got i

• He Said She Said: Songs from the Year We Were Born That We Still Listen To, Part 2

  ​When He Said began researching the music that came out the year we were born, 1983, we were taken aback by how much of this music has warped, shaped and informed our life. Pretty much all of the albums and bands that were prevalent that year are still on our turntables and playlists. Why just this morning in the shower, we were rocking the first Metallica album while using just this darling facial cleanser we got from Avon. You wouldn't believe how well it invigorates your pores. Anyway, the
