Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.

You might as well just park yourself at Cactus Music today for all the music going on. First up, at noon, is a local four-pack of bands playing next Sunday's Rock the Boat benefit for Hurricane Ike victims at Meridian: Morgue City, Paris Green, Straightfork and Deep Ella. As soon as they get the stage clear, indie-pop Pitchfork darlings Ra Ra Riot preview tonight's Rudyard's show at 4 p.m.
Finally, the action moves outside as the annual St. Arnold's Brewery pub crawl staggers to a halt in Cactus' parking lot. On hand to salute the pie-eyed finishers will be Houston power-poppers duneTX and the McKenzies. That gets going around 7:30 p.m.
Best of all, it's all free. Even the beer. Of course. - Chris Gray
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
