Scout Bar

Honestly a very solid show! My most favorite of the night was definitely Distant. The only thing I didn’t personally enjoy was Cabal and Justice For The Damned’s set. They personally just didn’t hit me for live experience but I’m glad a lot of people like them! 👏🏻🔥

Before coming to the show, I barely listened to any of these bands and WOW, every band was sick that night. My favorites were definitely Stabbing and Suffocation. I would love to see them both again live some time soon! 💀🔥

It was a really fun show! I enjoyed the sound and performance from every band. Angelmaker had to pause their set near the end because of a person who had a seizure but they continued playing after all of that was dealt with. Loved it (P.S, Reflections was my favorite of the night 😊)

Des Rocs band is awesome live the energy is unbelievable. The sound of the guitar the band has to be one of the best shows I’ve ever seen at Scout bar. Can’t wait to see him again. I’ll see a great future for these guys.

Amazing concert! And scout bar was very awesome. My son and I were upgraded to what turned out to be the GM’s seats… and he was awesome! He let us sit and hang with them and enjoy the show. Great venue. Great bands. Overall a great night 🤘🤘

I’ve seen Metal Church many times over the years starting in 1987. They’ve never disappointed & this night was no exception! After the tragic loss of vocalist Mike Howe in 2021, founding member/guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof & company chose to soldier on with this year’s excellent LP , Congregation of Annihilation. New vocalist Marc Lopes combines the best of all previous Metal Church vocalists with his own unique touch. This was most evident when he was belting out Metal Church classics originally sung by the late David Wayne such as “Start The Fire”, “Beyond The Black” & the epic “Watch The Children Pray” The setlist also included a nod to the aforementioned Mike Howe era with faithful renditions of “Fake Healer” & “Badlands” from 1989’s Blessing In Disguise. For myself, the highlight of the evening was an explosive performance of one of my very favorite tracks from the eponymous debut, “Hitman” which I had never heard live before. This incredible night of metal mastery was capped off by two Metal Church classics “Beyond The Black” & “Metal Church” the song. Do not miss this tour if it comes to a venue near you. It’s a metal purity at its finest! 🔊🤘🏼

Been following Stabbing Westward for 20 years. Must've worn out 3 CD copies of Darkest Days. This show was just as brilliant as ever. Loved the new stuff and VIolent Mood Swings was so goddamn perfectly executed. Damn good show.

It was absolutely phenomenal!!! I have been a fan since the beginning I'm one of his biggest fans I love you scooter. Thank you for getting me through the most of the times when I needed music to help process a part of like and then let it go. I'm always at the sky Bar event so see you next time Cold, and great familiar faces. 🤍

Unfortunately I got there a bit late so i missed the previous bands, except Divide The Fall and Cold. Both were awesome, but Cold? That was a freaking amazing experience to watch live. Scooter and the band are the best. Won’t miss them in the future.

Marty Friedman's band is so good! They're both technically talented and amazing showmen (and showwomen?). After they finished, I literally asked how Queensryche could top that. Turns out they couldn't this night. Michael Wilton and the promoter came out and announced that Todd LaTorre's voice was gone from being sick, and they were going to reschedule the performance. The 2.5 hour drive was still worth it just for Marty Friedman's band. They should have just let them play another 30 minutes.

Another great, intimate venue, with not a bad seat in the house (though we were standing at the front, stage right). This would be our 3rd time seeing Soen, back to back nights and this time with a meet and greet. The guys were very personable and open and willing to listen or do the talking themselves, whatever worked for the fans. Great time before the show, and that show.. Awesome! I cannot get over how great this band sounds live. Their musicianship is astounding and Joel's voice was on point for 3 nights in a row. I don't know how he does it. Standing literally 5 feet from where Martin was sitting, slamming out the beats, gave me a much deeper appreciation of just how skilled and emotive a drummer he is. Zlatoyar, the newest addition to this formidable lineup showed extraordinary prowess on laying down the bass. His opening to their (not so secret) Tool style song was fun and special. Cody was on point as well. He's such a talent and thoroughly enjoys what he's doing and conveys that to the audience effortlessly. The workhorse of Soen, their guitarist & keyboardist is Lars. Lars is a thrilling talent to behold. Laying down an imperative on the keys and then literally jumping up to play a blistering lead, this guy is nonstop and gives Soen a jolt like no other. They are all immensely talented and earnestly friendly with their fans. What a way to finish out following these guys around Texas!

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Before the show I randomly saw Taylor Barber and was able to get a pic with him! He’s always such a chill guy!! Left to Suffer has always been one of my FAVORITE band— especially live!! I had not heard a lot of music from The Dialect, Iron Code, or Second Wind before the show but they all had great energy and I enjoyed their sets!! I am definitely going to add them to some of my playlists!!! UABB is one of my sis-in-law’s FAVs… they KILLED IT! We can’t wait til the next one! Work has been insane.. unfortunately our patients have been super sick/high acuity which makes for a very stressful and busy shift… my soul desperately needed this heavy/dirty ass/aggressively high energy show!! I also ran into one of my previous patients at the show!! It was nice to see him healthy and happy— OUTSIDE of the hospital! It was the first time that I got to jam out with one of my patients and I love that it was at such a heavy and empowering show!!

Good crowd, Good vibes, Good show and uh, I got to get on stage with Collie Buddz and do the 3rd verse to his song “Blind to You”!!! I couldn’t ask for anymore from a show because it was just a good time all around🤙🏼!!!

Very fun and energetic crowd,admire the music selection as it was on point for emo music,my only complaint would be the price as I go to another venue that does the same,the venue ended 30mins earlier than advertised.overall a fun experience

Every time I get to see Davey and the crew it's always a good time. The set was rocking, the support kicked ass, and the people in the crowd were some of the best. The reimagined version of "Only Human" was absolutely perfect! Davey, your music, along with two of my friends, helped me get through the roughest period of my life. The respect and honor that you show me every time we talk is unmatched. Hopefully next time I'll get to see you a little closer to home. Until then, keep on killing it, cuz ROCK AIN'T DEAD!

My gf and her dad were fans of Michael Angelo already and she even purchased a master class ticket for him (which he loved btw)but I was basically a tag along with them. I wasn't to familiar with his work but I was blown away by the end. New fan here.

FLAW never dissapoints at their live shows. This was my 3rd time seeing them in Houston this year. Chris, Rob, Tommy, and Georges are very approachable and interact with their fans one on one often. One of my favorite parts of the show is when they all get to take the limelight individually to showcase their skills.

It was a very good show! Sons of Texas never disappoint and the opening bands, Never Buried (McAllen, TX), Calling Chase (Houston), Torrid Complex (local) and Twelve Years Driven (Houston) did very well. TYD was very sharp and their set list was filled with some heavy bangers from throughout their few EPs they’ve put out such as “Victim”, “Stitches”, “jclsd20” & “Invisible Me”. Never Buried performed a few tracks from an EP they put out last year such as “Enigma” and “Icarus Complex” and seem to have a lot of potential coming out of the Rio Grande Valley just like the guys in Sons of Texas. Speaking of Sons of Texas, these guys, already a nationally recognized name, are quickly becoming polished as a live act. I’ve seen them only a few short times and each time, I’m more and more impressed! They started the show with “The Vestrymen” and played other standouts like “Baptized In the Rio Grande”, “Beneath The Riverbed” and “Texas Trim” and ended the night with a collaboration with the lead singer of Never Buried covering Pantera’s “I’m Broken” which was amazing! My only complaint was it was the day before Mother’s Day and I felt like they could have performed the single “September” which is a lighter song but that I think a lot of the ladies and mothers would have appreciated but all in all? Very good awesome show! 4.5 out of 5

Best show I’ve ever seen! Legit-out of several hundred shows I’ve seen—this one trumped them all! Andy is a show stopper-phenomenal energy & immensely personable. Waited 13 years to see them live—-official fan for life after last night!!

As always, Doug, Ty & Jerry were absolutely sublime! I have been going to their shows consistently for the past 30 years and I am proud to say they claim H-town as home. They are absolutely part of the soundtrack of my life. Can’t wait to see them again!!
