Kind of a dated clip, maybe, but in case you were curious as to what Mount Righteous was doing when not getting adored by Bill Murray at SXSW this year, here it is: They were backing Internet jingle meme king Parry Gripp during his showcase. The crowd, as you’ll see…

This weekend, for three days, a festival born out of the celebration of wildflowers will be three days of music to Richardson. Empirical proof that people will take any excuse to turn something into a party? Naturally. But, also, a sneakily enticing option for your weekend plans.Sure, this weekend’s all…

As far as local podcasts go, it’s real tough to beat the Gutterth Podcast, which this week released its 14th installment since launching in the spring of 2009. The new one’s kind of a doozie, too, featuring previously unreleased tracks from Glen Farris, New Science Projects, The Angelus, Sabra Laval…

Tomorrow night, New York’s The Beets roll through town for another Parade of Flesh showcase, this one taking place at The Lounge on Elm Street, with opening performances from Austin’s When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth and Dallas’ own The Black Dotz. It’s another garage-rock affair to be sure, but a…

Next Tuesday marks the release of Revolutions Per Minute, the second collaborative album from Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek, who together perform as Reflection Eternal. Dallas hip-hop heads get a sneak peak of the duo this evening, however, as the twosome, which first joined forces for 2000’s Train of Thought,…

The worst-kept secret in Dallas music? C’mon, that’s an easy one. It’s Sarah Jaffe. Has been for some time now. Since before the 2008 release of Even Born Again, Jaffe’s debut EP, it was clear that the indie-folk artist boasted something special—more than just one thing, actually. For starters, there’s…

Back in October, Nic Hernandez hipped us all to Chucky Sly, or, as he calls him, “your favorite local rapper’s favorite local rapper.” Catchy, right? Well, this week, Sly returns with a new track called “Fire in the Firmament,” and he’s joined by a couple other favorites in the local…

In theory, since they’re the touring band behind which this bill was built, tomorrow night’s Parade of Flesh show at The Cavern is all about its headlining act, Miami-based garage rock act Jacuzzi Boys. And, sure, there’s enough going on in the band’s tropical band of retro-rock that makes it…

The folks over at WeDentonDoIt might not be the most prolific folks in town, but when they do release their videos, they’re well worth the watch. Take, for instance, the above clip, shot back on January 30, when Alan Palomo and Neon Indian played its last set in Denton before…

In case we haven’t yet given you enough reasons to pay some mind to Dallas hipster-hop duo Sore Losers, let’s end today by giving you one more: Today, the duo released a new remix to one of the tracks off its phenomenal (and free to download) Free Loaders mixtape. The…

Because, one presumes, professional paintball is only so lucrative, the members of Cypress Hill are back on the road these days, touring in support of their new release, Rise Up, which earned its release on–yup, you guessed it–April 20 (4/20, duh) and features a little help from Tom Morello, even…

Funny how fast the Internet can move. Earlier today, a mix featuring a bevy of Dallas-based acts (and, OK, some Houstonites and Austinites, too) started making its way around the Internet. Created by Dallas’ own DJ Tommy Boy, the mix was commissioned by the folks at Vice Magazine, which apparently…

Well, another Monday, another act added to the pretty gosh darn impressive-looking Homegrown Music and Art Festival at Main Street Gardens next weekend. Last week, it was Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights. Today’s add? DC9 HQ’s obsession for much of 2010, Analog Rebellion. And, next Monday, the fest will…

In this week’s print edition of DC9, Daniel Hopkins gets all preachy in discussing why you should head to the Granada Theater this evening to catch the all-Denton triple bill of Centro-matic, Matthew and The Arrogant Sea and Oh, Lewis:There aren’t too many bands that can do what Centro-matic has…

For fairly obvious reasons, this year’s annual Ultraviolet concert to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will not take place at Club Dada, its home for the past few years. Rather, it will take place a little bit east in Deep Ellum (right at the end there) at the Double Wide…
