Westheimer Block Party Spring 09 Lineup

noreply@blogger.com (Free Press Houston) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 02:48:00 +0000

Houston-
We are really looking forward to the March 28th Westheimer Block Party and have been burning the midnight oil to bring you a legit arts and music festival. We have expanded the evening portion by hosting multiple national artists at multiple venues. The day event is free as always and you can see 100+ great, local and regional bands for FREE.
However, the sooperdooper-clutchtastic-aces-boss-batshitcrazy-whips-kick you in the pancreas-tight evening portion of the event which hosts nationals paired with local greats will require a wristband. So, in an effort to avoid slight sticker shock we would like to explain our motives and intentions: We hope to snowball the block party into a legitimate arts and music festival and marquee event for the city. Ambitious? Yes. Risky? Yes? But we have an undying faith in this city, our community, and the potential for big, wonderful things to happen. We are exceedingly proud of the lineup we have put together and are stoked about Valient Thorr, St.Vincent, Devin the Dude, HEALTH, The Show is the Rainbow,Belaire and the many other bands lined up for the spring festival. So folks, you have our solemn promise that if we can make this happen together, we will give this city the real festival we have always dreamed of.

Westheimer Block Party April 12th

Westheimer Block Party April 12th, 2008
12PM- 12AM
300-500 Block of Westheimer
FREE!

The Westheimer Block Party rears its ugly head again this spring with a celebration of local music, art, and other things full of awesome-ness. This spring's block party will host not only the usual revelry of 50 bands, 6 stages, loads of artists and their installations, but will also hosts events into the evening. To close the evening, Free Press will host national touring acts And you will know us by the Trail of Dead, Health and several local favorites ( just 10 bux) inside Numbers. Like always, the fest is free and will be located at the 300-500 block of Westheimer. Last November’s Block Party was our most successful with more than 4,000 attendees, excellent local reviews, and a great time had by all. Nonetheless, this spring’s event will host a slew of new elements with an expanded underground arts show, a canned food drive, and our best musical line-up yet. Stages will be hosted at Number’s, Avant Garden, La Strada, and Mangos Cantina. Interspersed between all the great local music will be live painting, exhibits of all sorts, and many ‘cash and carry’ artist booths.

Ultimately, this day is going to be so magical you may change your religion and question your own sexuality. We expect nothing less.
