Speaking of radio station-hosted events, KBFB-97.9 FM The Beat’s been rolling the lineup for its 6th Annual Custom Car Show & Concert, which takes place at Fair Park on Sunday, March 21. There’s still some more names to come, the radio station, promises, but, so far it too is actually…
On May 1, at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, KDGE-102.1 FM The Edge will hold its 20th Edgefest concert since 1992. And, believe me, it feels a little weird saying this, but, unlike the disappointing lineups of recent years past, the lineup the station announced yesterday evening ain’t looking all…
Hint: It’s not Nick Jonas. And it’s not Kevin Jonas, either. Spoiler alert: It’s, like, totally Joe Jonas! O! M! F! G?Anyway, catch Vampire Weekend at the House of Blues on April 11. Sucker’s already sold out, though. So, if you ain’t already in, you’re probably not getting in. Unless,…
The folks at NPR have gone and done everyone a solid, listening to all the bands playing the official parties at SXSW so you don’t have to and–better yet–trimming down that list to a much more palatable list of 100 bands you should check out in Austin (if you have…
Listen: I get that there’s a buzz around the term “chillwave” (nee GorillaVsBearcore). Really, I do. It’s fun. It’s hip. It’s the coolest of cool.But there’s pretty much nothing about FUR’s instrumental songs that evokes the term. Not to us here at DC9 HQ, at least. It’s not especially dance-y…
The above video here features the two youngest members of Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment crew, Lil Chuckee and Dallas’ own 16-year-old member of the troupe, Lil Twist. Released just this past week as yet another single from Young Money’s We Are Young Money album, the video’s for the tandem’s…
The above video comes courtesy of The Melting Season, which you no doubt recall, is Bruce Blay’s offshoot of Sleep Whale. Posted over the weekend to Sleep Whale’s Twitter feed, the clip’s an oddly alluring pairing of old, and yes awkward, aerobics dance video clips with what turns out is…
Falling may feel like flying, but surely this must, too: At last night’s 82nd annual Academy Awards ceremony, Fort Worth’s own T Bone Burnett and Austin’s Ryan Bingham, as expected, took home the Oscar for Best Song for their work on the song “The Weary Kind” as part of the…
Maybe it’s selfish to think like this, but I’m kind of glad this weekend’s looking pretty slow. NX35 is right around the corner, only to be followed by SXSW, then Parade of Flesh’s spillover showcase Bro Fest, and then, come April, the MusInk festival. All I’m saying is this: We’re…
To end the day, how about a couple of treats from Brandon Curtis, Josh Garza and Phil Karnats, the three Dallas ex-pats living in New York who, together, make up The Secret Machines? Turns out, in late January, in lieu of any planes to release an album anytime soon, the…
The above clip comes courtesy of the folks at Immaculate Infatuation, a restaurant review site run by two guys whose day jobs are in the music industry. And, on a recent trip to Brooklyn, the hosting duo met up with Dallas’ own Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights, which was…
After the jump, check a couple scans from both XXL and The Source, the two leading hip-hop magazines around these days. In this month’s issues, both magazines featured Q&A’s with Lancaster’s own Mr. Ice Cream Paint Job himself, Dorrough. The Source’s Q&A is more of a standard session in which…
We’ve raved about Bryce Isbell’s FUR project in this space before, so you’re no doubt already familiar with the Denton-based artist’s enthralling brand electro-trance by now. True, the disc is probably being incorrectly perceived by many in the outside media as just another chillwave project because of Isbell’s collaborations with…
Ryan Thomas Becker and Grady Don Sandlin, combined, play in some 47 bands throughout the Metroplex, I think–and, in many cases, the two play in those acts together. But none of those outfits–and I don’t mean to hurt any feelings here, honest–even comes close to the heroics on display when…
Los Angeles’ Dawes has been quite the fast-rising entity in the past few months, since the band released its debut full-length, North Hills, back in October. And though the disc and band might be new, the sound isn’t, explains Rick Mason in this week’s Observer:Taylor Goldsmith’s contemplations of eternity may…
As promised, Erykah Badu popped on by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to perform “Window Seat,” the lead single off New Amerykah Pt. II: Return of the Ankh with The Roots (including the song’s co-writer, Questlove, and co-producer, James Poyser) and members of her usual touring band (among…
The lineup for the 2010 Vans Warped Tour was announced a little while back, and, silly us, we forgot to tell you that four bands with area ties are on the bill that’ll visit the Superpages.com Center on Saturday, July 3: The Rocket Summer, Artist Vs. Poet (who released its…
If it seems like things are kind of slow around these parts these days it’s because, well, they are. Painfully so, actually. Sure, they’ll pick up shortly enough—Denton’s four-day NX35 Music Conferette kicks off next week, followed perhaps too quickly by SXSW and all the extra spillover goodies that annual…
…and for those of you still stuck on YouTube, here’s your link.Funny story about Somebody’s Darling, the band that stopped on by for weekly DC9 Live at El Sibil taping last Wednesday night: This four-piece is actually the first band I ever saw in Dallas. I’d interviewed for the gig…
Just a quick reminder that, tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, your queen and mine, Erykah Badu, will be performing the lead single off of her upcoming New Amerykah Pt. II: Return of the Ankh, “Window Seat,” with some help from the song’s co-producer (James Poyser), the song’s co-writer…
I swear I’m posting the above video embed from Revlover magazine’s Golden Gods Awards press conference for reasons beyond Vinnie Paul’s epic sideburns (although, between you and me, they’re reason enough). And those reasons have nothing to do, even, with Abbott’s belief that the Golden Gods Awards are “really cool,”…
Nice to see two of our favorite relatively new-to-the-scene hard rock acts, The Phuss and Maleveller, working together as they do in the above music video, released today, for The Phuss’ oh-so-delectable Toadies-esque rock anthem, “Preacher, Preacher.” What’s Maleveller’s contribution? Ah: The titular character in the song is portrayed in…
