Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Do you like to talk about music? Sometimes when there's no one else around? Are you comfortable using the words "coruscating," "plangent," "seminal" and "self-indulgent," preferably all four, in a sentence? Do you like getting in to shows for free?
If so, there might be a place for you in between the sheets... sorry, I mean at the paper. (Been listening to entirely too much Let It Bleed lately.) Rocks Off is looking to expand our contributors pool for both the print edition and the Web site you're reading right now (and thanks, by the way). I'm especially looking for people well-versed in metal, experimental/noise and Latin music. If this might be you or someone you know, please send a couple of writing samples to chris.gray@houstonpress.com.
Nothing longer than 1,000 words, and no phone calls please. - 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.
