Nappy Roots have released five albums since 2002’s wonderfully whistle-worthy Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz. Maybe it was because in the early 2000s, you didn’t have to be that great to be on the radio, but Nappy Roots were always worth waiting for on the afternoon rotation. Large... More >>

May 25 is a big day. Psych-rock deities The Black Angels are headed into town the same day as country sweetheart Taylor Swift plays Dallas Cowboys stadium. Avoid the traffic cluster fuck that will inevitably be Arlington and head to Granada Theater to hear the quartet's brand new (and rather... More >>

Tickets are going fast for Taylor Swift's stop in Dallas on her 2013 North American tour. Back in November, the singer-songwriter released her fourth full-length album, Red, and it already tops the iTunes album sales charts in 40 countries worldwide. More >>

Up-and-comers Brantley Gilbert and Love and Theft will help fill out the bill this summer. Also, McGraw has partnered with Tumblr to create the "Fanticipation"... More >>

Whoa. Just look at this bill. It's now 2013, so the New Kids definitely aren't so new anymore, and since they're all middle-aged, I'd say they've been around the block a time or two. Because the show isn't until June, you have plenty of time to pick out your outfit for Bill Hicks' favorite band. More >>

Has life turned out the way you planned? Do you see the absurdity of the daily hubbub but stay silent and limp, like a human slug just waiting to be salted? Maybe you should channel all of those observations into stand-up comedy. More than just a coping mechanism like booze and pills, stand-up... More >>

Is there a more fitting acronym for an art show featuring Austin, Dallas and Denton artists than A.D.D.? Your attention will be drawn to a series of works by 18 emerging and established artists at newish collaborative venue White Space (2001 N. Lamar St., Suite 500), including Bereniche Aguiar,...

Man, you think Texas weather is a bear? Try vacationing on Titan. They've got liquid methane rainstorms which National Geographic assures us are just as bad as they sound. In the new IMAX film, Wildest Weather in the Solar System, you'll soar through a 400 year old hurricane in 3D and pop into... More >>

Impossibly adorable and standing only 12 inches tall, the meerkat clan in the new National Geographic release Meerkats 3D is freakishly relatable. That’s likely due more to the film’s design then its subjects — the animals’ existence is narrated with highly emotive plot... More >>

"It's a party at a Rodeo, man!" Big J shouted over Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." during the Back to School Bash at Rockin Rodeo. The crowd went wild. Wild.

Lucky for all you tranquility-seeking art lovers, the Crow Collection of Asian Art... More >>

I know what you're thinking. I'm not too terribly keen on cover bands either, but Big Mike's Box of Rock delivers. The group recently started a new residency at Lola's Saloon each Tuesday and it covers the best rock 'n' roll songs from 1960 to 1999. Rock musician and guitar-shredder "Big" Mike... More >>

Norman Rockwell and the Boy Scouts of America are often underestimated these days. Rockwell is often looked upon as little more than a talented illustrator who’s given too many unimaginative home decorators an easy out for folksy Americana options, while it seems as though today’s... More >>
