So, uh, this above music video came out today. I pretty much don’t understand a single thing about it–or how in the world Pat Summerall got involved. But, hey, I guess I’m not Forever the Sickest Kids’ target demo…
Tonight, at the House of Blues, Dallas-based super-producers Play-N-Skillz will perform a set as part of a bill its sharing with Bone Thurs-N-Harmony and Play-N-Skillz’s own G4 Muzik-signed artist, Inertia.Seems the similarly Dallas-based Inertia has been the major focus of the brothers Salinas for the past few months–ever since the…
First came the news of Oso Closo’s demise. Then went The Cut*Off. Then Odis. And, quickly following suit? 100 Damned Guns. Basically: Four area bands have broken up in the past month. Wait, sorry: Make that five.Over the weekend, the pop-rockin’ Hendrick also passed along a MySpace message to its…
Bad news, courtesy the constant downer that is Preston Jones of the Star-Telegram: 100 Damned Guns’ Thursday evening performance at Fort Worth Central Market will be the band’s last. A shame, too: The band’s long been a favorite of this here music section. Last May, Lance Lester reviewed the band’s…
Local Natives is turning out to be kind of a big deal. I know this for a few reasons. 1) The band was originally booked to play The Cavern when it scheduled its Dallas appearance for later this week, but now the show will take place at the much-larger Sons…
In this week’s paper, Mark Schectman takes a listen to The Burning Hotels’ sophomore effort, Novels. And he likes what he hears. Writes the man:There can never be enough catchy pop-punk songs about relationships sung by guys in tight pants. Continue reading…He writes other things, too–that too many of the…
In this week’s print edition, Saby Reyes-Kulkarni takes a look at tonight’s Todd Rundgren show at Trees. Writes Reyes-Kulkarni:With his soaring voice and arena-rock fluency, Todd Rundgren seemed destined for hit-after-hit superstardom when he released his third album, the entirely self-recorded Something/Anything, in 1972.Looking back, though, it was clear that…
We were never head over heels for SMU favorite Odis, but this press release announcing the band’s demise late on Friday came as something of a shocker:There are more changes abounding in the music scene in the DFW area. Weeks after Oso Closo calls it quits, you can throw another…
After stopping by some Record Store Day festivities on Saturday (expect a slideshow from Good Records’ celebration soon), I hopped on over to the House of Blues to take care of some last-minute reporting on Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights, subject of the cover feature in this week’s up-and-coming…
Saturday’s looking like an especially busy one around the Metroplex, what with Record Store Day happening and the Old 97’s playing a not-so-secret show and, I dunno, Owl City playing out at the Nokia Theatre, if that floats your boat. Surely, though, one of the bigger events of the day…
In this week’s paper, Phil Freeman tacked the topic of High on Fire’s brutality–y’know, since the band is headlining The Loft on Sunday night in what should be a fairly epic display. Especially since the band is touring in support of Snakes of the Divine, its fifth studio album–and maybe…
In this week’s paper, Kelly Dearmore holds Nicholas Altobelli’s latest, The Regulator, up to the light for a closer look and comes out finding the disc “rather agreeable” and a fine step along the artists “continued development.” It’s a fair take on the disc, actually. Accurate, too. I’d agree, at…
Last time Acid Mothers Temple stopped through DFW for a gig, it did so up in Denton. About a year ago up at Hailey’s, in fact. At the time, Elliott Johnston wrote this of the band: Japanese collective Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. is probably the trippiest…
It was back in February when we first caught wind of Midlake’s supporting role on the new, debut solo effort from John Grant, former frontman of The Czars. Called Queen of Denmark and released on April 6, the album was recorded in Denton while Midlake was on breaks from its…
Look, Girl Talk and Big Boi at SMU isn’t the only free show going this evening. In fact, there’s a real treat for the suburbs going on at Lochrann’s tonight up in Frisco as part of Spune Productions’ new weekly, free Thursday night gigs up that way. At 8 p.m…
Well, speaking of upcoming debut full-lengths from promising young area artists: Today, Magnet magazine has posted quite the flattering write-up on Sarah Jaffe on its Web site, wherein it gushes about the songs on her upcoming Kirtland Records full-length Suburban Nature: “One listen to 24-year-old Texas native Sarah Jaffe’s music…

…and for the YouTube elite, here’s your link.Our DC9 Live at El Sibil series just keeps trucking along, don’t it? Sure does. And, as such, last week, we welcomed Denton’s The Timeline Post in to film the 14th episode in the ongoing series. Not exactly the chattiest band, I’ll admit…
A week ago today, for whatever reason, T-Pain was in Dallas and, better yet, at XTC Cabaret for a little fun (one assumes). The details of what happened next, however, are a little fishy. Doesn’t really sound like fun, though…
Bad news, everyone. Can’t believe we missed this when it went down last month, really. Turns out the GS Boyz have broken up. No doubt, you remember them. The purveyors of the much-lauded “Stanky Legg”? Yes, them. And maybe you remember their minor follow-up hit, “The Boody Dew,” too? No?…
So, we’ve been keeping tabs on the “Lilith Fair Is Back!” announcements for a while, thinking it was kind of a big deal with a long list of pretty interesting artists and a somewhat surprising North Texas bent. Plus, we knew it was coming to Dallas at some point this…
By now, hopefully, you’ve already seen our takes on both last night’s Vampire Weekend and Abe Vigoda show at the House of Blues and the Friday night Granada Theater show with The Big Pink, A Place To Bury Strangers and Dallas’ own Darktown Strutters. Now, check the picture sets: Andrew…
