Best Club for Local Acts
Award Winner 2010

Hours: Daily 8pm-2am

Description

If you are a Houston-area band or musician with an otherwise unclassifiable sound, then Super Happy Fun Land is your paradise. Located off a shadowy side of Polk next to a haunted-looking train crossing, SHFL is one of the last bastions of weird in Houston (aside from spirit brother Notsuoh). You can find bands playing at this art-space/venue almost every single night of the week. A few months back, Monotonix played part of their show inside the men's bathroom. The inner décor is curated by a hella arty husband-and-wife team who also run the proceedings with an extremely understanding hand. Make sure to buy a sock monkey on the way out.

There is a community at Super Happy made up of artists who patronize each other's creations, and they're doing some of the most unique and irreverent work in... More »
2007 | Best Club for Local Acts

A band would be hard-pressed to get turned away from Super Happy Fun Land, whether their shtick is playing traditional style (using instruments as they were meant to be used) or hitting a mayonnaise jar with a rubber chicken. The lack of standards gives many a green musician a chance to play in front of an audience. And for music fans willing to brave the odds, it's anybody's guess when an upcoming sensation is going to grace the stage and you'll be able to say you saw them before anybody... More »

Pedestrian Deposit

There's noise that steadies itself in between electroacoustic, drone and neoclassical. Then there's noise that doesn't teeter on anything (for instance, HNW or Harsh Noise Wall) and that swipes open your throat with jagged spheroids. Southern Cali... More »

It's a well-known fact that most band names are essentially gobbledygook, but here at Rocks Off we're trying hard to find meaning in the oddest monikers. When we first began our quest to beat some se... More »

Ed. Note: As they are designed to, these "What's In a Names" get a little fanciful sometimes. There is in fact no church on Phillippine Street - in fact, there is no Phillipine Street in Houston at al... More »
