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.
