The Drams

The Drams perform Thursday, January 18, at the Engine Room, 1515 Pease, 713-654-7846.

By Michael Berick
Jan 18, 2007

Any discussion about the Drams must start with Slobberbone, the beloved Denton alt-country rockers who hung up their boots in 2005. When lead 'bone man Brent Best formed a new group with his old bandmates, lead guitarist Jess Barr and drummer Tony Harper, it created lots of anticipation in the...
Richard Buckner

Meadow

By Michael Berick
Oct 19, 2006

To those accustomed to Richard Buckner's spare, haunted music, the guitar sound of Doug Gillard (ex-Guided by Voices) as it buzzes through Meadow might be disorienting. Sure, Buckner has employed electric guitars before, but the rock urgency pulsating through the terrific opening tracks "Town" and "Canyon" is something he has...

But casual fans might not know that the Difford and Tilbrook partnership had Difford penning the lyrics and Tilbrook composing the music. Now that the group isn't operational anymore, Tilbrook...
Southern Culture on the Skids

Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26. Continental Club, 3700 Main, 713-529-9899

By Michael Berick
Mar 24, 2005

After 20 years of white trash revelry, SCOTS (who really calls them Southern Culture on the Skids anymore?) have aged like...well, like fine moonshine. They continue to brew up a potent mix of rockabilly, surf, rock and roll, country and what-have-you that'll get your chicken wing flappin' and tail feathers...
