The Proletariat, which has no outdoor patio — and few windows — probably isn’t the most obvious spot to throw a picnic. But the Montrose-area dive has successfully pulled off a Proletariat Picnic for the last few years. For 12 hours today, some of Houston’s finest indie rock bands, including the Jonx, Dizzy Pilot, Golden Axe, O Pioneers!!!, Motion Turns It On and S.C.U.M. (Society of Cutting Up Memory), will grace the stage. In keeping with the theme, the requisite red-and-white checkered cloths will cover tables packed with hot dogs and nachos. And the booze will flow in great quantities (it is a bar, after all). Your picnic starts at 2 p.m.
Sun., May 21, 2 p.m.
