Wilonsky, ever the scourer of the Internet–seriously, I think the guy reads everything ever published to the web with the word “Dallas” in it–came across this little gem this morning, and we think it’s well worth passing along your way… Seems Express Night Out, which I believe is a faux-alt…
A little bit screamo, a little bit hip-hop. (Michael Hawkins) On a complete whim, I decided to stop by the Fallout Lounge with some friends on Saturday night for the big D-Town Booty Bounce show that we mentioned not once, but twice in this on Friday. And, really, I can’t…
I’m not real sure what happened to all the you-tubers this weekend. Actually, I think I have a good guess, but apparently they didn’t see Pete’s post about this past weekend’s shows. Something seemed to be amiss on the cyber waves. Apparently the you-tubers decided they needed some time off…
After a two year hiatus, Lisa Underwood has rejoined Lantana, the feisty country trio originally from Coppell. Consisting originally of Underwood, Karol Ann DeLong and Biz Haddock, Lantana released its debut, Life Is Good, back in 2004. After Underwood’s departure, the band recruited Darlene Dalene Richelle and released 2006’s Unbridled…
Some good news for the Arlington-based shoe company, Yums: Soulja Boy is keeping up his end of that shoe deal you signed him to a while back, talking about your company at every turn…like, for instance, in this interview with BallerStatus.com that got posted today. An excerpt: BallerStatus.com: You also…
Fortunately, the breakup of Tiger Moth the band didn’t leave as much wreckage as the airplane of the same name. Well, that didn’t last long. Just five months after Darryl Smyers hipped us to the band and four months after he raved about their eponymous EP, Dallas blooze-rock band Tiger…
The GZA performs Liquid Swords Palladium Ballroom September 1, 2008 Better Than: Watching some current hitmaker performing a club banger and pretending he’s prescient. “When I was little…my father was famous. He was the greatest samurai in the empire. He was the Shogun’s decapitator. He cut off the heads of…
So where’s all the love for Rodney Parker and 50 Peso Reward? It’s Labor Day Weekend, folks, which can only mean one thing: Put them white pants in the close till springtime, right? Well, I’ve been told to do that with mine, at least. A shame, too. Because, you might…
Hipsters are gonna crazy for Damaged Good$. (Taylor Emanuelson) It’s not everyday that you get two born and bred Texas dudes cranking out psychadelic, futuristic tracks the way the guys in Damaged Good$ do. If you had to compare them to anyone, think Andre 3000 with a bit of Kanye…
Six days a week, the Denton-based members of Oso Closo pile into a van for a 50-minute commute to Dallas. Since being hired by the Dallas Theater Center to perform in a production of The Who’s Tommy, the band has spent the majority of its nights and days in Dallas…
This should be good news for those still on an Obama high after last night’s coronation acceptance speech. Obama Dallas will be registering voters at the Lizard Lounge tomorrow night. I can only imagine the thoughtful, well-informed political discourse the volunteers will have with the go-go dancers and graphic-tee enthusiasts…
Black Tie Dynasty’s drowning here! And you’re describing the water! We’re just under a month off from this year’s Austin City Limits Festival, and, sure, maybe you’re excited. But I’d guess that Black Tie Dynasty, The Orange and Gazelles are even more so. It was announced today that these three…
Two days ago, ye olde in-house former music editor, hipped me to a pretty amazing little gem he’d come across on the Internet while searching mp3 blogs (no doubt for more Kadane Brothers rarities). It’s a collection of three rare Rolling Stones blues takes–apparently from a session held right here…
This week’s PoW was designed by George Neal, lead singer of The Slow Burners. Makes sense, as the kittys’ marching band uniforms aren’t too far removed aesthetically from the old-timey martial attire Ryan Thomas Becker sports on the cover of the band’s Returning to the Air EP. Tomorrow’s Slow Burners/Stumptone/Shibboleth…
Toadies frontman Vaden Todd Lewis at Lollapalooza 2008. As we first told you back in May, this weekend will see the launch of the Toadies’ potentially annual Dia De Los Toadies festival out at Possum Kingdom Lake. And, yep, as the title of this post implies, we’ve got two pairs…
It’s rare that a band with members over 40 years of age makes its way to The Prophet Bar, but, on Saturday, Britain’s legendary punk group GBH makes a rare local appearance. GBH just wrapped up a 40 date schedule as part of the Vans Warp Tour and are doing…
Well, it happened again. Sarah Jaffe upstaged yet another touring act pulling through town. This time—just like the last time it had me scratching my head—it happened at The Cavern. And just as Jaffe had outshined Seattle’s Sera Cahoone and Grand Archives then, in late June, she did the same…
The title of Ra Ra Riot’s full-length debut, The Rhumb Line, is a nautical term, and there’s a definite oceanic feel to the undulating cello, violin and bass lines found on the release. But it’s clear that—unlike with other string-heavy collectives that use the nautical to quite literal ends (read:…
I kinda wish this was a joke. But, no, even though “Jenny’s Song” sure sounds like a joke (check this lyric: “Yes, people care for you in Texas / We found your freedom in Tennessee!”), it’s not. Says the CBS 11 report on the recording: One songwriter is hoping her…
It was a little over a week ago now that we hipped you to Dem Southernfolkz by offering up a free download of the title track from the group’s debut LP, The Message. Well, it looks like we’re not the the only ones digging on the Dallas hip-hop trio’s sound…
It’s been a tough last couple of years for the members of Sorta. First, was the painful loss of member Carter Albrecht. Then the departure of Ward Williams to the bright lights of Nashville and Music Row. But, alas good news is finally coming out of the Sorta camp: They…
We’re introducing a new recurring feature here on DC-9 to highlight a few upcoming shows that interest us and, hopefully, you. Mark your calendars for the following shows… Rhett Miller and Sarah Jaffe at the House of Blues Pontiac Garage Friday, September 19 The Pontiac Garage, which used to be…
