We’ve done everything we can to display our love for the Tontons over the last couple of years as the band has risen steadily in popularity and matured musically. However, that’s not going to stop us from repeating ourselves now. On Saturday night, Houston’s indie pop darlings The Tontons will headline a 101X Homegrown bill that also includes our local faves Good Field as well as Casual Strangers, SPEAK, and Slomo Drag. The Tontons, with frontwoman Asli Omar at the helm, deliver soulful indie rock that alternates between heavy grooves and upbeat pop tunes. Tickets are only $10 at the door–an incredible deal for a five-band bill on Saturday night. The Tontons’ debut full-length, Make Out King and Other Stories of Love is out now and available for order right here. Below you can stream music from some of the performing bands.
