Deep Cuts

Deep Cuts play Axelrad Beer Garden on Friday, October 16. They're a Houston band, and this is a local night for them, so if you've been meaning to catch them live, this is a good one to put on the calendar.

They describe themselves as "Houston's most beautiful Latin boy band," a tongue-in-cheek line that sits right next to a sound that pulls from a few different places. It's a mix of alternative, pop, romantica, and indie, so it's not a single-note set. The romantica side brings in that slower, melodic sensibility, and the pop and indie elements keep it grounded in something you can actually sing along to. It's a wide enough range that you can hear the different threads running through it rather than one style drowning out the others.

Axelrad Beer Garden is an outdoor venue on Alabama Street, so it's an open-air show. That's worth keeping in mind when you're planning your night, especially for a Friday in mid-October. The music starts at 9 PM, so it's a later start than your average weekday gig, which gives you plenty of time to get there and settle in before they take the stage.

Deep Cuts is the only act on the bill, so the whole night is theirs. If you've heard their name around town but haven't seen them yet, this is a straightforward way to do it. The show is Friday, October 16, at 9 PM at Axelrad Beer Garden, 1517 Alabama St, Houston, TX 77004.
