The Catacombs was the first exclusively rock and roll club in Houston. It started in an old building on Post Oak near the present day Galleria.. They had a few national acts but the best part was Houston finally had a club where local bands could play. The club only stayed at their Post Oak location a couple of years then moved to a store front location in the Rice Village area. Shortly after moving in to their new digs it changed it's name to Of Our Own. It was not a very large place yet still had a handfull of national acts like Jethro Tull and Ten Years After.
