Description

In the midst of all the hip-hop gals strutting their shimmery stuff down the way and businessmen letting loose over a pint or two over at the Flying Saucer lies the ever-freaky Notsuoh. Yes, all you English majors out there, that is in fact Houston spelled backwards. Owner Jim Pirtle's iconic bar and music venue has the lockdown on the strange and transient downtown vibe. Notsuoh is an oasis of insanity in a part of town still undecided on what it wants to be. Most nights you can find a handful of homeless guys out front preaching their gospel next to a group of hipsters smoking American Spirits and sniffing incessantly about their new noise project. It's a side of Houston that maybe the tourism board doesn't want you to see, but it's Houston nonetheless. Rest assured that no two Notsuoh experiences are ever the same.

Plenty of sentences are scribbled on the men's room wall at Dean's Credit Clothing (316 Main), but one stands out from the rest. It is firm and direct and declarative and written in all caps. It's hardly the bathroom's cutest graffiti, which wo... More »
Growing

By Tex Kerschen | Thu, May 06, 2010

"Mind Eraser," the last song on Growing's new album Pumps, consists primarily of the words "I love drugs" repeating over a bass drum loop and a staccato synth sample. Which bodes well – in the past, Growing made huge fields of treated guitar drone... More »
Alias:Orion

By Jef With One F | Thu, August 27, 2009

One of the best bands in the rapidly recovering New Orleans music scene, Alias:Orion hits the senses like a combination of Queensrÿche's prog-metal mastery and Wolfsheim's Germanic space shenanigans. Try this for a mental image: The Millennium Fal... More »
