30 bands at 5 bars for free? Yes please!

I'm not much of a concert goer anymore because too many stupid high school kids show up in force nowadays. The fact that I'm scrapping the bottom of my checking account doesn't help either. However, I found an event that solves both my live music woes that I'm willing to share.


Every year, Fort Worth Weekly gives awards in several categories from best barbeque place to best thrift store. This Sunday the 24th, they will be holding this year's music awards by lining up 30 different bands to play at 5 different bars downtown for free admission.



The participating venues are:
-The Pour House, 209 W 5th St.
-8.0, 111 3rd St.
-The Flying Saucer, 111 E 4th St.
-Embargo, 210 E 8th St.
-McDavid Studio, 301 E 5th St.

The whole shabang will take place 4-10 p.m. I'm pretty sure it's only for the 21+ crowd considering it's at bars, but I'm not entirely positive on that. For a full lineup and schedule, pick up a FW Weekly.

And as an added bonus for going out for free music, you can vote for your favorite bands and enter for a chance to win a Vespa!


You'll be the coolest kid around.

Love it. I'm going. Who all's on the bill? Are my favorite JJ & The Rogues there?
