Crystal Antlers, The Uptown Bums, VIDEO Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios	Mon., November 9	Denton	Psychedelic Punk Rock
VIDEO's debut show at Rubber Gloves in July featured one of the best local bills I've caught this year. An album-release show for Teenage Cool Kids' Foreign Lands, the evening also featured Cleburne's Fungi Girls and, more importantly, the phenomenal debut performance by Denton-based... More >>

Dethklok, Mastodon, High On Fire House of Blues	Wed., November 11	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Metal Rock
Depending which metalhead you ask, metal is either being saved or being strychnined by Dethklok, the cartoon band at the center of the Adult Swim show Metalocalypse. On the one hand, the group makes fun of just about everything that made metal cool; on the other hand, they totally shred! The... More >>

Bridges and Blinking Lights, Heart Eyes Open, The Boom Boom Box, Cocky Americans Double-Wide	Thu., November 12	West Dallas	DJ Rock
Bridges and Blinking Lights straddle that line that divides the area's roots- and Americana-influenced rockers from the pearl-snap crowd. They're definitely not country, but you ain't gonna mistake these guys for Brooklynites. What set them apart from every other boring North Texas... More >>

Son Volt, Peter Bruntnell Granada Theater	Thu., November 12	East Dallas & Lakewood	Americana Country Rock
When Uncle Tupelo called it quits way back in 1994, few could have predicted the career paths of the band's two major, alt-country gurus, Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy. Soon after the band's breakup, Tweedy started Wilco, and Farrar formed Son Volt. Both bands released stellar debut albums, with... More >>

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Macon Greyson Longhorn Saloon	Fri., November 13	Fort Worth	Rock
For a second there at Adair's Saloon on Friday night, the band onstage recalled another country-rooted local product, one also known for its boozy sound, swaggering stage presence and smart lyrics. Nope, Macon Greyson ain't the Old 97's. But, if only for a moment or two this past weekend, the... More >>

RTB2, Here Holy Spain, The Me-Thinks City Tavern	Fri., November 13	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Rock
Manic, the properly named debut release from this local punk trio, opens on a promising kick: There's no musical lead-in, no build-up, just an immediate and crushing launch into the opening track "Trouble Is," as the vocals, bass, guitar and drums all start simultaneously and hit the listener...

Bishop Allen, Darwin Deez, The Noble Chocalatiers Lola's Sixth	Sat., November 14	Fort Worth	Indie Pop Rock
Poor Bishop Allen. The band was Vampire Weekend before Vampire Weekend was Vampire Weekend. But though both acts possess the same musical chops, the same intellectualized wordplay and the same ear for white people-pleasing ditties, Bishop Allen never caught fire (or received a subsequent...

Chuck Ragan, Jim Ward, Frank Turner, Audra Mae, Jon Snodgrass, Chad Price The Prophet Bar	Sat., November 14	Downtown & Deep Ellum	Americana Blues Celtic Folk Indie Rock
Frank Turner's got something to say. It's apparent in the bite of his words and the gruff roar of his voice. The former U.K. punker led Million Dead for five years before the band dissolved in irreconcilable personal and creative differences. As a result, Turner grabbed an acoustic guitar and... More >>
