That's it! Now, for bands that I would recommend amongst these(I could probably recommend more, but I don't know most of these groups, so these are the ones I've seen):

One Hundred Flowers - a very polite group of youngsters with a big ol' drum and some synths and guitars and stuff and things. My pal Eva, who organized the first show in this list, sings backing vocs and does synth stuff and bangs on the aforementioned huge drum thing. She is also in:

The Unbearables - The group that resulted in One Hundred Flowers, this is I think a nine piece with regular instances of multiple part harmonies and some songs about zombies and things. They're fantastic, and not unbearable at all.

Transmography - These guys are high energy noise-rockers with a keyboardist and a drummer, last time I saw them. That lineup could have changed since then, but they are a good goddamn pleasure to see.

No Mas Bodas - is weird. My pal Sonya plays cello in this band, and the lead singer shoots the audience with a ray gun.

White Denim - These guys are amazing.

And these bands, just because I like their names:

Mos Jeficit

Southeast Engine
Frontier Ruckus

Jookabox

Peelander Z

The Somethin' Ain't Rights

Aaaand for the hell of it, here are some bands that I really like and think you should see, even though there is no free beer. Ordered by how much I like them, top to bottom:

The Spinto Band, 5:30 at Red House Pizzeria(1917 Manor Rd.)

Invincible Czars, at Salvage Vanguard Theater(2803 Manor Rd)

Wine and Revolution, 5 PM at Spiderhouse(2908 Fruth St, just off Guadalupe, north of the drag)

Black Joe Lewis, 4PM at Waterloo Records(600 N Lamar Blvd # A)

The Boxing Lesson, 7:30 PM at Gueros Taco Bar (1412 S. Congress Ave.)

Enjoy!
