Aftermath: The Sweetsops at Lizards!

It was Beatlemania last night at Lizard’s!


Previously known as The Dellciples, currently known as The Sweetsops, and soon to be known as something else, The Sweetsops are a group of very talented musicians who together know how to rock The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, and a variety of other artists that the crowd—okay mostly Ray and I—shouted for them to play. The keyboardist and singer, Jimmy Dell, even knew a little Jem and that is TRULY TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!

Admittedly, the crowd was skeptical before they went on. The Lizard’s crowd is a brutally honest bunch and is not easily impressed—especially by a band claiming to be able to handle the task of tackling The Beatles.

I had faith in my friend and Robert Pattinson’s best friend one night in Houston, Shane Burke, who helped to bring the band to Huntsville, but no one else did... that is until they began playing.  I exaggerate my excitement and love for things quite often, but with ZERO exaggeration I would like it to be known that The Sweetsops are the BEST band I’ve ever seen play in Huntsville, Texas.

(REAL picture that I am not ashamed of stealing since every other media outlet already did it first! So jealous!)

It is hard for me to write about bands, because I’m not exactly musically educated, and I can’t even pretend to know what I am talking about when it comes to beats being on or off, tempo, chords, and so on. I judge music by whether or not my ears enjoy what they are hearing. Last night, they definitely enjoyed what they heard—two ears up from me!

I was definitely NOT the only who enjoyed them, though.  People who came in for the pool and not for the band, quit playing and got closer to the stage to listen. Couples were dancing and EVERYONE was having a good time last night.

Check out our Hey, Huntsville Facebook page for many more pics from last nights show. If you missed it last night, rest assured they WILL be back to Huntsville in the near future, and maybe we will get some raptastic beats from Texass!

Bikini and Hard Body Contest

July 14^th, 4:00pm -8:00pm

The Grove Apartments

2101 Sycamore Ave.

Huntsville, TX 77340

We love all of these pool parties!

On July 14^th, The Grove is having a pool party and EVERYONE is invited! For those confident guys and gals, they are also going to have a Bikini and Hard Body Contest! Sign up in the office TODAY! The top three girls and the top three guys all win prizes!

After the pool party, there will be plenty to do around Huntsville since it is Thursday night! So get wet, put on your bikinis and speedos (NOT IT), and then clean up and go out on the town!

Mondays = Pool Tournament, 75 Cent Hotdogs, and Karaoke!

What is there to do in town on Mondays?

Believe it or not, there are actually a few things to do on Monday nights!

Lizard’s has a Pool Tournament every Monday night! The entry is $10. First place gets 70% of the pot and the second place gets 30%. Drink special is $1.50 well vodka. Click HERE to see the Facebook event page.

Next door to Lizard’s, Murskis always has its 75 cent hotdogs and discounted longnecks. That makes it a good pre-game spot before the pool tournament!

If you are into singing, Time Out has its $100 karaoke contest every Sunday and Monday night! Sign-up begins at 8:00pm and the contest usually begins at 9:30pm. It sometimes starts later depending on how many participants sign-up. Also, a LOT of people show up late so don’t be surprised if there are only a few people there at 8:30pm and a packed house by 10:00pm. From our past experience, the most points are earned from audience participation and NOT by the best singer. Good for us since we CAN’T sing!

If you know of anything else happening on Monday nights, PLEASE let us know! Email us at info@heyhuntsvilletx.com or visit our Facebook page HERE!
