Certainly, by now, you know Jenny Lewis. The one-time child actress (what’s up, Troop Beverly Hills fans?) has made quite the name for herself in the modern indie music landscape thanks to her solo efforts, her work with Rilo Kiley and her collaborations with the Watson Twins. And if you’ve…

Given Street Dogs’ and my own shared Boston roots, yes, I’ll always have a soft-spot for the punk rock quintet, which is currently on the road–and stopping by the Loft tonight–in support of its new, self-titled album, their overall fifth release since their 2003 debut. But this band’s more than…

Look who’s got a new music video to share: Mr. D-O-Double-R, who wants you to know (and show you) that he’s gonna have a “Hell of a Night,” which coincidentally (or not at all) is the second single off of Get Big, the sophomore release from the rapper, who, for…

Doug Davis caught up with Jamie Lidell recently in advance of the genre-blending blue-eyed soul and electro artist’s upcoming gig at the Granada Theater tomorrow night. Read the fruits of Davis’ labor, as saeen in this week’s print edition, right here–but pay special attention to this telling quote, which aptly…

Is it Raiden from Mortal Kombat? Darkwing Duck? Hell if we know. But, hey, whoever this character is, look at that, he’s carrying a torch! Which is kind of like Torche!…

A week ago today, we passed along word of the still-circulating rumor that the Black Eyed Peas would be the performers at Super Bowl XLV, which, you surely already know, is set to take place at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on Sunday, February 6.We’ve yet to squash that rumor–the closest…

Between the goings-on at Oysterfest up in Frisco, Jamie Liddell playing the Granada and Jeff the Brotherhood playing The Nightmare, Saturday’s concert calendar is already looking like a busy one. But don’t let this show pass you by: At the Kessler Theater in Oak Cliff that night, Marc Ribot will…

Not too many bands blow up behind Internet swells–OK, more do these days than ever before, but still–and yet that’s just how The Drums first popped onto DC9’s horizon about a year ago. Devout fans of Vimeo (the quality’s just so much better than Youtube), we stumbled across the above…

Hump day once again and what an interesting collection of acts we have descending upon Dallas this evening. Tonight, there’s a little bit of something for everyone–so long as that something includes alternative rock, jam bands, post punk or deathcore…

Between Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson and others, it’s tough to necessarily simply credit Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings as the sole proponents behind the whole Motown/soul revival thing that remains prevalent even eight years after the band released its debut full-length Dap Dippin’ with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. But…

There’s no doubting that there’s certain appeal to Semi-Precious Weapons, who, for some time now, have been pretty much the undisputed kings of the New York City glam-rock scene. The above clip, with its pretty darn hilarious hook (“I can’t pay my rent, but I’m fucking gorgeous”), does a decent…

It’s been some time since DC9 last checked out Film School in a live setting. But, in our defense, it’s also been some time since the shoegaze-y San Franciscoans released any new material–three years, in fact. That much got remedied late last month, though, when the band released Fissions, its…

Let it suffice to say that there are a lot of bands playing at Lochrann’s in Frisco as part of the inaugural two-stage Oysterfest deal going on up there this Saturday. We’d list them all, but, hey, the poster to the right takes care of that much for us.We will,…

It’s been a while since we’d heard anything on Denton’s Grassfight. A little over two years, even–since back when Dave Sims wrote this glowing piece on the then-new-to-the-scene outfit. And then, out of nowhere, we saw that the band on a bill at The Cavern this past weekend and then,…
