Despite their modest upbringing in small-town Odell, Illinois, the members of the Living Blue have done well for themselves in their eight-year career. The fuzzed-out garage band — once known as the Bloody Knuckles and later as the Blackouts — recently played at Little Stevie Van Zandt’s Underground Garage Festival and has just released Fire, Blood, Water on the Chicago label Minty Fresh. They’ve also done what any hot — and smart — indie band does to get instant fame: appear on a teen drama — in this case, the WB’s One Tree Hill. See what all the fuzz is about today at 9 p.m. For tickets, call 713-523-1199 or visit www.theproletariathouston.com. $5.
