Welcome to a new joint venture between DC9 at Night and the folks at We Denton Do It aimed at introducing local audiences to up-and-coming acts they may have missed during recent stops through town. They’re the kind of acts we think you’re gonna want to know–and right away, as,…

Bright and early this morning, Blender.com went ahead and debuted the second music video from Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights’ major label debut, Pardon Me — but the song the video is for isn’t really a new song at all. Nope, “Gypsy Woman,” the album’s second single, has been…

Kelly Dearmore went and got all highfalutin in his praise of the Felice Brothers in this week’s paper while previewing the New York-based roots rock outfits upcoming show at The Loft tomorrow night:At once vaudevillian and also contemporarily raw, New York’s Felice Brothers have been perhaps the key cog in…

Looks like our friends at You+Dallas (by which we mean our co-workers moonlighting at other outlets) have gone ahead and filed another clip of their “Downbeat Dallas” web series, which they’ve already used to feature Sarah Jaffe and Doug Burr. This episode features Seryn, whose long-awaited debut just recently saw…

Sometimes color can overwhelm. Other times, it’s just so pretty…

Looks like the Old 97’s aren’t the only locally connected act to get some late-night television love from NBC lately. Last week, the even-later Last Call with Carson Daly featured former Dallasite and Secret Machine Ben Curtis and his bandmate Alejandra Deheza for a show-ending musical segment, in which cameras…

Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea and Philip Peeples popped up on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night to perform “Champaign, Illinois” from their just-released The Grand Theatre, Volume One — not because it’s the single, but because, says their Twitter feed, Leno requested the track. Hey, now!And,…

Three years after making waves with its debut 2007 EP, Golden, New York’s Bear Hands has finally gone ahead and released a proper full-length album called Burning Bush Supper Club. And the four-piece’s new album is an interesting one, too, delving into funk, dream pop and relatively straightforward rock ‘n’…

Doud Davis doesn’t really beat around the bush in his Critic’s Pick preview of Joanna Newsom’s performance tonight at the Granada Theater, as seen in last week’s paper. He calls her a member of the “musician elite” and praises her “virtuosic playing skills” and “restless creativity” while writing that “her…

A few weeks back, on the same weekend when Dallas-based super-producers Play-N-Skillz were hosting auditions for their in-development MTV reality show, the Brothers Salinas also welcomed a Texas hip-hop legend and long-time collaborator to town. Turns out Juan and Oscar Salinas, who produced the latest single, “Ridin’ Slow,” off Bun…

Just when you thought the D-Town Boogie was dying, an adorable panda comes along and ruins everything. And, after the jump, it’s the remix!…

Denton’s Own Centro-matic (Don’t you know them? You can find many of their songs on the Internet) is currently overseas, undergoing a two-week tour through Spain. And to promote the tour, the band’s offering up a series of clips shot in convenience stores around the country, where, amidst small talk…

In this week’s paper, I catch up with the Apples in Stereo’s Robert Schneider — and interesting guy, to be sure — who, in addition to founding the Apples and the ridiculously influential Elephant Six collective, has recently become a darling on the mathematical speaking circuit and has, as you…

Perhaps you read Kelly Dearmore’s earlier recap of Friday night’s Monotonix show at The Loft and thought to yourself, “Hey, I wonder if there’s more to the story about the drunk woman who went to town on the drum kit before Monotonix took the stage.”Well, you’re in luck! There is!…
