the tontons

I came across this video yesterday as I was making my daily read of Houston Press' Rocks Off Blog, and was immediately impressed with how the videographer (W. Ross Wells from Zenfilm, the same guy who directed the SugarHill video in our last post) made our fair city look so nice. It features local up-and-comers The Tontons on stage at the House of Blues, but also shuffles through a variety of clips showcasing some of Houston's hottest spots. If you are from Houston, this video is well worth the watch; if you're not, check it out, and fall in love with our city. It really is a great place to be!

The Tontons' CD Release show at the Caroline Collective should serve as a nice precursor to Houston Press's annual musical melee better know as the Houston Press Music Awards Showcase. The Tontons are up for several awards, so go check them out Saturday and Sunday, and if you like them, send your votes their way before the ballots close on the 26th.
