Best Indie & Rock This Weekend

in Houston

Metalachi at Scout Bar

Metalachi

What do you get if you cross mariachi with the raw vibes of heavy metal? Why, Metalachi, of course! A quintet of classically trained Mariachi musicians, the genius of Metalachi was born when the group was required to add some metal to the setlist. Magic was clearly made that night, and here we are! Combining the flamboyancy of bands like Queen and Guns N'Roses with some good heavy mental humor and outlandish costumes, Metalachi is here to put on a show!

Glass Animals at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion

Glass Animals

Hailing from Oxford, England, Glass Animals set the Brit Indie scene alight in 2014 with their bold debut album Zaba, a deliciously decadent offering that showcased the groups considerable talent for creating slow-burning and sexy Indietronic anthems. Join them on tour as they traverse North America to spread their indie charms!

Beat - King Crimson Tribute at Bayou Music Center

Beat - King Crimson Tribute

The music of King Crimson is celebrated by a group of musicians that are less "tribute band" more "supergroup"! Legendary guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danney Carey join former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to tour a show performing the best bits from the legendary prog-rockers' three 1980s entries, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair... plus potentially a few surprises!
