Astragal & Donna Hayward Drop Killer Split Cassette
If you follow what’s happening inside the indie rock world of Houston music, then you should know that there’s a pretty vibrant world that exists outside of the inner city. It’s always been that way, but the scene that grew bands like Donna Hayward and Astragal, could exist on its own without any help from inside of the loop. On their new split cassette release on Miss Champagne Records, it’s pretty obvious why that’s the case…
Get To Know Rose Ette Ahead of FPSF
Standing out however, has never really been a problem for Houston’s Rose Ette. Forming a bit over three years ago, the band that felt like a side project in the beginning has gained more than enough steam since this time last year. Even after lineup changes, and having to bow out of a festival due to remarks made by the festival’s owner, Rose Ette has kind of done things their own way while expanding on what feels like a growing fan base with each and every show that they play.…

It’s such an amazing ride of someone who started repping the H as soon as she got here, that I felt like she’s a great example of what makes this the best city in the United States and possibly the world…
You Might Have Missed: Rose Ette
I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t love this album from start to finish, and would I be lying if I said I didn’t think that you’d feel the same way. In six songs Rose Ette enters the Houston music scene with a bang, and captures your attention while holding it for the entirety of the release…
Houstonian Tales: John Baldwin
Sometimes I meet someone who could easily wear all of those hats and more, and yet their biggest focus is trying to make everything fun and cool for those who they perform, promote, or service in their respective endeavors. One of those people is musician, promoter, booker, and record shop owner John Baldwin. I first met John when he was playing drums in Wild Moccasins, and then I’d run into him from time to time at Walters, where he’s the in-house booker and show promoter…
