Parts & Labor (Abrinsky)
Usually when you hear about a free show, the performance unquestionably mirrors the price of admission. But this Sunday The Lounge has a free show that folks should feel guilty for not paying something.
Brooklyn’s experimental/noise quartet Parts & Labor headlines a bill that will also feature Austin’s Dallas’ own psych/rock mind shifters Dogme 95. Receivers, the latest release from Parts & Labor, is just another impressive collection of odd sounds and rough textures.
The cramped confines of The Lounge should provide an interesting venue for both of these acts to rattle the walls. Perhaps the club should go the Radiohead route and ask customers to pay what they can, or better yet, wait until the end and have folks pay what they thought the show was worth. Of course, seeing that beers go for $3 each, most in attendance might have little left to contribute.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Since the show is free for anyone 21 years and over, but $6 for minors, it might help the bands out if you brought along your little brother or sister. I guarantee that once they hear the music, they will thank you for it. — Darryl Smyers
