Yes, Indeed! is the kind of festival Houston needs, and its continuing growth over its five-year run is an encouraging sign that local audiences remain eager to get to know their musical neighbors, and will always come out to support their favorites. Populated mostly by Houston-based acts, either upstarts looking for a toehold on the scene or veterans out to cherry-pick some fans from their peers, Yes, Indeed! is rapidly establishing a reputation as the festival to go to to find your new favorite bands. (The same applies to its spring counterpart from the same producers, Madness On Main.) Relocating this year to the “EaDo Party Park” that encompasses Warehouse Live, Lucky’s Pub and Niel’s Bahr, the fest has rolled out the red carpet for trippy Austin rockers Ringo Deathstarr and San Antonio chicana-punks Fea as “headliners,” but with 25 acts spread across four stages, the real main attraction is its variety. That said, it would be hard to go wrong with Jealous Creatures, Only Beast!, the Wheel Workers and Jon Black and Young Girls, to name just a few personal picks.
