Houston City Limits? Free Press Summer Fest III This Weekend

Houston and Austin may be only a couple of hours apart by car, but in so many ways the two Texas cities are worlds apart. Houston has oil, Austin has music, right? Sure, except this coming weekend, when Houston plays host to the two-day Free Press Summer Fest, June 4 and 5 at Eleanor Tinsley Park. If you're a fan of bands that start with W-E-E, you're in luck, because both Weezer and Ween are at the top of the line-up. Overall, the line-up is pretty strong. Bands like Yeasayer, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, the Black Angels and Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears are good bets to put on fun shows. Toward the lower part of the line-up, the artists might not be as well known (or good), but at least the names are entertaining. If Vivian Pickles and the Sweethearts Uber-Alles are as good as their name, hot damn!

Basic weekend passes start at $45. Quite a bargain next to the likes of, well, ACL.
