Earlier this week, Dallas-area mashup artist Objektiv One released the second in his collection of mashup EPs, this one following up his party-starting 2009 release, Beer Pong Champion. Called, quite hilariously I think, Rad Jams, Bro!, Objkektiv One’s newest collection follows largely the same format of his last, combining elements…

The results are in from our New York sister paper’s annual Pazz + Jop critic’s poll, which aggregates the opinions of thousands of music scribes into one, easy-to-peruse list of the best music from the year that was 2009 (or was it 1901?). In total, some 1,934 albums were nominated…
The Dallas-based hard rock four-piece Drowning Pool has a new album due out in April. It’s the band’s fifth studio effort, and this one is called, quite simply, Drowning Pool. Yesterday, the lead single for the album, “Feel Like I Do,” earned its video release–and, sure enough, there it is,…
Here we are, sitting in a church in Denton, watching Sarah Jaffe perform before a no-shit-Sherlock adoring audience—every single pew in the place completely full—and all I’m wondering is how no one ever figured out that a stunt like this would draw a crowd so big that people would be…
From first listen to his debut disc under the name of Analog Rebellion, it’s pretty clear: The 20-year-old, Aledo-based Daniel Hunter is well over his past as PlayRadioPlay!. Gone, after all, is the dream-pop aesthetic that’s drawn the older parts of Hunter’s catalog comparisons to recent Top 40 sensation Owl…
…and for you all who still rock the YouTubes, here’s your link.In this week’s paper, I check in with the artist formerly known as PlayRadioPlay!, Aledo’s Daniel Hunter, to talk about his set-to-be-released-next-week debut under the the moniker of Analog Rebellion. The new album, Ancient Electrons, is a big change…
Earlier this week, Sydney Confirm’s Redsean (aka Sean Humphrey) announced the release of a free-to-download remix EP called Sounds of Old. Only, turns out, the remix EP, which is pretty stellar collection of slightly vampy electro-dance cuts featuring Redsean’s track revisions from the past two years (listen to, download and…
The formal press announcement concerning Erykah Badu’s upcoming New Amerykah, Pt. II: Return of the Ankh release just came through the inbox and, well, some bad news: The disc, originally slated for a February 23 release, has had its date pushed back a month to a March 30 date. Those…
Originally, tickets for this year’s second go-’round of the NX35 Music Conferette were supposed to go on sale yesterday. A few software glitches go in the way, but more important point is this: Tickets are now on sale, so go get ’em. Four-day passes will set you back only $65;…
Few things say Dallas music quite like Reverend Horton Heat and his demonic blend of rockabilly and punk rock elements. Hell, even when he’s a little hokey, as he was on this past year’s Laughin’ and Cryin’ with the Reverend Horton Heat, he’s still pretty fun.So, too, should be his…
Just got news that a couple more Fair to Midland benefit shows have been added to the two that were already announced in the wake of the band’s pretty gnarly crash out in the Arizona desert. The new shows include a second night in Dallas at the Curtain Club (on…
Looks like the often out-of-control Giggle Party has started to to throw a little more organization onto its plate: Today, the band debuted its new song “Big Bang” on its new site, partytodeath.com. It’s all part of a plan the group is calling the “Party to Death Project,” in which,…
In this week’s dead tree edition of DC9 (out tomorrow in certain hotspots around the Metroplex!), you’ll be able to read Doug Davis’ profile on The Cribs, in which he and band bassist/vocalist Gary Jarman talk about the recent changes in the band’s sound–and namely the recent addition of Smiths…
Sorry if you missed last night’s Golden Globes awards ceremony on NBC. Mostly because, well, this is probably your first look at Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks and her digs from last night. (Daaaaaaaaaaamn!)But also because you missed this: Fort Worth native T Bone Burnett walked with the Hollywood Foreign Press’…
Ran into Spector 45’s Frankie 45 at his “day job” tending bar at the Amsterdam in Exposition Park over the weekend and was promised that, come Monday, there’d be a little present for DC9 readers in the ol’ inbox. Sure enough, here it is: The band’s first music video, far…
Friday night’s show at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Denton mightily lived up to its promising billing, featuring uplifting and tender sets from Denton-based talents Seryn, Robert Gomez and Sarah Jaffe. We’ll have a little more on this well-set show, thrown by Midlake’s Eric Pulido and The Hope Trust’s Andy…
There’s a nice little write-up in this morning’s Denton Record-Chronicle about last week’s NX35 volunteer get-together at Dan’s Silverleaf. But, if we’re being completely honest, it’s not so much the article as it is the accompanying sidebar that’s got our attention. Why’s that? Ah: The piece includes a list of…
No need to pussyfoot around the berrybush here, folks, let’s juts dive right in. As the great Dylan McKay was known for saying, “You know the drill.”First, the shows we’ve already discussed.Tonight’s got some heavy-hitters: The Paper Chase, True Widow and The Boom Boom Box share a crazy bill at…

This past weekend, at a benefit concert held in Orlando each year to fight suicide, addiction and self-cutting, Grapevine’s own Bryce Avary (aka The Rocket Summer) performed a cover of “Stand By Me” alongside the likes of Mat Kearney and members of Underoath, Anberlin and Copeland. Check it out in…
