Bizarro

Randy Rogers comes back to Houston for an odd Wednesday night show, opening for David Allen Coe.

I've long wanted to see David Allen Coe, just because.

But how's this for strange... they're playing at Numbers.

For those not familiar with Numbers, let me post a description from their website:

NUMBERS has been located at 300 Westheimer Houston, TX. USA for 24 years and we're damn proud to be Houston's oldest and most infamous venue for live local, international and breaking alternative acts ranging from The Cure to Snoop.

When not showcasing live music, NUMBERS remains open 5 nights a week as the largest progressive video dance bar in the US with music and videos from Houston's top progressive D.J.'s. Wes Wallace, Shawn Morado, Hideous Jeff Fath, Vampire James and occasionally the one and only Robot.

Featured in national publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, CMJ, Spin and Details, among others, you won't find a venue of this size providing progressive dance music and live international acts anywhere else in the country... period .

If you like bands such as , Lords of Acid, Sasha, Moby, Cystal Method, Delerium, Daft Punk, Marilyn Manson, Underworld, Xymox, Beastie Boys, Bjork, Nine Inch Nails, Chemical Brothers, Filter & KMFDM, and new bands such as BRMC, Miss Kitten,The Hives, FischerSpooner, Basement Jax, and DJs like Digweed, Tiesto, and Oakenfold (see Concert History) then you're here.

I have a feeling that the normal crowd expecting Goth/Industrial night or Lords of Acid are going to have quite a shock when Randy trots out on stage and starts covering Merle Haggard. And David Allen Coe... one can only imagine.

What a weird playbill. Can't imagine why this show isn't at the Firehouse.
