Houston's Livestock and Rodeo Show this Sunday Weekend presents the music of Los Tigres del Norte and their música norteña 
a genre of Mexican music, related to polka and corridos. Norteño is a musical expression from Northern Mexico. The accordion and the bajo sexto are norteño's most characteristic instruments. Norteño music developed in the late 19th century, as a mixture between German folk music (which was introduced to Mexico with the arrival of German migrant workers in those years), and local Northern Mexican music.
The once pop duo now solo act, Panic! At the Disco make way to the Houston Rodeo and Livestock show this Sunday afternoon.
George Varga, Reporter for sandiegouniontribune.com describes the 
act like this, "Today, Panic! at the Disco is a solo act, with Brandon Urie accompanied by various hired hands. Now he has a much bigger budget. So expect pyrotechnics galore, lasers, an elevated drum kit, a piano that rises on a hydraulic lift, and a live string and brass section.
The only remaining member of the group, Bredan Urie describes himself on-line as a "spaz in high school," and explained that one student would always bully him. He worked at Tropical Smoothie Cafe in order to pay his band's rent for their practice space. At the 
cafe, Urie often sang for customers. He explained, "I would sing anything I was listening to at the time, but I was down to take requests. I remember singing some Scorpions songs, some W.A.S.P. 80s anthems are usually good for tips. It was a huge range of stuff. Some people liked it, and some people didn't. I had to respect other people's wishes, but I had a couple people come in who would ask me to sing for a tip. That's always fun."
