Thievery Corporation at House of Blues Houston

This was an exceptionally good concert. I had never been to the House of Blues before, so starting out in the Foundation Room I was a pretty good way to begin. As I walked into this dark place adorned with Persian rugs and Eastern tapestries – my jaw dropped. I didn’t care if I looked like a rookie – it was too cool not to exclaim ‘Wow’ and wide eyes.

The crowd was – amazing. The music – as I have been a fan for as long as they have been around Thievery Corporation have as just much stage presence as they do diversity.

Nice.

Rock and/or Roll

I have been out of the loop when it comes to this genre of music. I have been getting my fix from the classics mostly. The b-sides and underground hits offer plenty of treasures to be found. After falling in love with the raconteurs this past year, I investigated current rock bands to see if there was any other quality sounds: the Raconteurs, My Morning Jacket, The Black Keys, TV on the Radio, Blitzen Trapper, Kings of Leon, and MGMT are all bringing back my love for Rock Music. I still need to do some more research – but what a year for rock!
