The up and coming Vancouver duo The Pack A.D. will be playing The Vortex in Beaumont on Sunday March 22. We figure it’s worth the drive to Beaumont.

Go figure, the week I kick off Houtaper.com work heats up and I end up with a lot of overtime hours. The good news is I made it out to and recorded several shows in Hosuton, the bad news is I’ll be at SXSW all week so it will be a couple weeks before I get a chance to post any shows.
On that note - there is a really solid show tomorrow (Tuesday, March 17) at Rudyard’s. On the bill is:
Stardeath & White Dwarfs
Deer Tick
Wintersleep
Tigercity
Get your tickets at Pegstar, before it’s sold out.

We really enjoyed Deerhunter’s recent double LP Microcastle / Weird Era Cont - it’s definitely one (if not two) of the better albums of 2008 and we were glad to be able to catch them in Houston. Even though we were a bit jetlagged after returning from Europe the day before, it was really easy to enjoy the show.
Recording at the Warehouse Live Studio is always tough (for a variety of reasons) - the Deerhunter show sounds good, but not as good as many other recordings made at other venues in Houston. We hope you enjoy the first recording available on houtaper.com.
