Redrumm is the case

Scene, heard
The listening party for Captain Audio's forthcoming debut CD My Ears are Ringing But My Heart's OK, originally scheduled for November, will finally take place December 18 at Sock Money in Exposition Park. Sub Oslo will also perform...

Floor 13 will celebrate the release of its new, self-titled four-song EP with a performance December 19 at Trees...

Don't quite know what the hell this is--looks like a soundtrack to a comic book, which is kinda peculiar--but The American Fuse and former Tenderloin guitarist Kirk St. James (or Reverend Horton Heat Guitar Tech Formerly Known as Kirk Moffitt, also an ex-member of Atomic Rodeo) both appear on the new compilation disc Hell City Hell. The album, released by the L.A.-based Diablo Musica label, also features contributions from Fastball, Puff Daddy, and Supersuckers and comes with a comic book filled with strippers. Like I said, I don't know what the hell it is...

Speaking of compilations, 93.3 The Zone has released Zone Cuts 3, a 13-song disc featuring the likes of Alana Davis, Blues Traveler, Natalie Merchant, Edwin McCain, and Barenaked Ladies. Proceeds go to the North Texas Food Bank and Tarrant Area Food Bank, noble causes indeed. But when I look at the track listing, I am reminded of why I never listen to The Zone.
