The Look Ahead (Live Music): Polyphonic Spree, Yelawolf, Los Campesinos!, Poor Pilate, John Egan and Battle of the Bands

As we get geared up for SXSW, our attention gets focused on the music. There’s going to be a ton on hand in the coming weeks. No better way to get yourself prepared than by getting your butt in a seat today. Our local acts are chomping at the bit to be noticed. Do the right thing. Notice them.

For instance… on Saturday Fitzgerald’s hosts Handsome Ransom, Rivers, Pleasure Shapes, and Future Blondes (all from Houston) along with St 37 and Mellow Riot for the low, low price of free or five bucks. Or maybe you need to be at Fitz the day after Valentine’s for Don’t Poke the Bear, PJ Bond, Prairie Cadets and Blackie Dammett for the same kind of deal.

Here’s more where that came from…
