Attention Houston, TX-area party people! I would heartily encourage you to head out to Walter’s On Washington on Saturday, February 20, 2010. Electric Attitude, Satin Hooks, and The Factory Party will all be performing, with DJ No Fun spinning tracks in between each set. The doors will open at 8pm with an $8 cover fee, the music is set to start at 9pm, the show is all ages, and there should be drink specials throughout the night. It looks to be a great night of local music!
