  "summary": "Stereogum reports that Wednesday, an indie rock band, has expressed concerns over their Houston show at the White Oak Music Hall, a venue that previously hosted Ken Paxton, a far-right extremist who is running for Senate in Texas. The Houston venue had previously hosted Paxton’s event on the same night that Meet Me @ The Altar and Leisure Hour performed in a different room. In response to this, Sweet Pill moved their Houston show to another venue. Wednesday has expressed their discontent with the situation, as detailed in their post on Stereogum.",
