Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse The Prophet Bar	Sat., November 21	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
Connecticut's Hatebreed comes out of that whole late-'80s/early-'90s Youth Crew, "We're all about unity and positivity, and we'll kick the ass of anyone who says different" mindset fostered by the New York and Boston hard-core scenes. It has managed to bash out a few albums of monochromatic... More >>

Slow Burners City Tavern	Sat., November 21	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
Last Saturday night, at Hailey's Club in Denton, The Slow Burners celebrated the release of the band's debut full-length, This Is Where We Fight. And in doing so, the band blazed through every one of the album's tracks, from toe-tappers like "Think of Me" to, what the band really excels at, its... More >>

Generationals, RTB2 Hailey's	Sun., November 22	Denton	Music
Denton bands don't exactly have an aversion to roots or regionalism. That said, a bent blue note or shit-kicking shuffle is likely to raise eyebrows in these parts--if for no other reason than the very real fear that yet one more band is trying to put its own spin on "Texas Music." There are... More >>

Neko Case, Oh No! Oh My! Granada Theater	Mon., November 23	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
Undoubtedly the night belonged to Neko Case. As she strolled onstage waving to the crowd they showed her their affection for her, with nothing short of a full-blown roar. Once she got to her microphone, she returned the appreciation saying, "Hello, beautiful Dallas." Neko is in a rarity in... More >>

Puscifer Palladium Ballroom	Tue., November 24 more dates/times	Oak Cliff & South Dallas	Music
Maynard James Keenan wants to make it perfectly clear that his latest project isn't a grab for any sort of brass ring. "People will say to me, 'You should get back to doing Tool and A Perfect Circle, but I know you're probably just going for the money with Puscifer,'" says the enigmatic Tool... More >>

Disqo Disco Fallout Lounge	Every week Tuesday	West Dallas	Music
Sydney Confirm is a double-headed beast. Fresh off an Observer Music Award nomination for Best Electronic/Experimental Act and staying busy flaunting their DJ skills at Fallout Lounge's buzzing Tuesday weekly, Disqo Disco, Sydney Confirm is quickly establishing itself as the go-to crew for...

Eleven Hundred Springs, Doug Moreland, Mo Robson (CD release) Granada Theater	Wed., November 25	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
To the 13 acts and artists that had the misfortune of being nominated into the same categories as Eleven Hundred Springs in 2008: Sorry. That was just Eleven Hundred Springs' year. No hard feelings? Armed with a pure sound, a widespread appeal, a deserved respect and throngs of loyal fans, the... More >>

Thanksgiving: Are You Sick Of Your Family Yet? Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios	Thu., November 26	Denton	Music
"Are You Sick Of Your Family Yet?" The name of this Rubber Gloves tradition says it all. You don't have to pretend to go into a turkey coma just to end that uncomfortable conversation with Uncle Bob. Just say you have another commitment, bring leftovers from the big chowdown for a potluck... More >>

The Nutcracker The Winspear Opera House	Daily from Fri., November 27 until Sun., December 6, 2:00pm more dates/times	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Christmas Dance Holiday Music Seasonal Events Theater
It's that time of year again--Chevy Chase is running out of room in his house, and the Grinch is complaining even more than usual. Stores are packed with stressed-out shoppers trying to find that perfect gift for that perfect someone. The mall just spent tons of money to have Santa Claus... More >>

MFM, Jacob Wick: This Is It!, Yells At Eels, Hentai Improvising Orchestra The Phoenix Project	Fri., November 27	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Music
To anyone who has witnessed trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez and his sons Aaron (bass) and Stefan (drums) play in Dallas as new-jazz trio Yells at Eels, the name of the latest album (The Great Bydgoszcz Concert) will come off as a bit audacious--and yet completely appropriate. Scant crowds at local... More >>

Saboteur, Slowride, 41 Gorgeous Blocks The Cavern	Fri., November 27	East Dallas & Lakewood	Music
It'd been some time since the fellas in Slowride had played an actual show together--but with an upcoming gig slated at local tattoo artist Oliver Peck's annual Christmas party and with all members in town (thanks to bassist Rob Marchant's Riverboat Gamblers gig at the Double Wide on Sunday...

Michael W. Smith Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center	Mon., November 30 more dates/times	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Holiday Music Religions & Spirituality
Michael W. Smith is the George Michael of the contemporary Christian music scene. Well, maybe he's more like the Phil Collins, but without the drums and the baldness. Nevertheless, he is a Christian rock god (no pun intended). His concerts are jam packed with holy rolling fans that would... More >>

Section 8 Comedy Ozona Grill & Bar	Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm	East Dallas & Lakewood	Comedy Music
Like any improv troupe, Section 8 has great shows and "meh" shows. But that uncertainty is part of the appeal. A flubbed joke from one performer might lead the guys into a bizarre tangent, or it might just result in merciless onstage ball-busting from the others. Either way, it's usually funny.... More >>

Christmas With the Rat Pack--Live at The Sands Majestic Theatre	Every week Saturday, Sunday from Tue., December 1 until Sat., December 12, 2:00pm more dates/times	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Christmas Holiday Music Theater Theater - Large
If you're anything like me, you weren't alive in the '60s. You never shook hands with President Kennedy or attended (the original) Woodstock, and touch-tone phones totally predate you. And, perhaps most important of all, you never saw the Rat Pack live in Las Vegas, you poor, poor soul. (I'm... More >>
