If you look at the direction Thurston Moore's three solo records – released over the span of 16 years starting in 1995 – you can't help but notice that he's getting further away from Sonic Youth. 1995's Psychic Hearts was heavy and angular, and 2007's Trees Outside the Academy...

Band of Heathens is technically from Austin, but the band comes off like it might have spent a great deal of time in New Orleans learning the rich mixture of sounds that mark that city's eclectic scene.
In moments, this outfit is reminiscent of The Band circa the early '70s: Their take on...

Maybe you were one of the fortunate few who saw a bold, jaw-dropping performance staged by Austin-based Octopus Project in one of a handful of their concerts last year.
The quartet of long-time friends conceived of a multimedia performance for which the 2010 album Hexadecagon was written as...

Austin's own lunatic laureate, Kinky Friedman, has been a fly in the ointment for four decades, working over country and honky-tonk with satire sharp as Michael Madsen's straight razor in Reservoir Dogs. The Jewish son of a UT professor, Friedman possesses the imperturbably lighthearted manner...

Some jazz clubs in Dallas offer live music on the weekends; most of the better ones serve it up every night. But Amsterdam, a coffee house in Exposition Park, beats the competition even though it hosts live jazz only on Mondays. Still, there's more than a quality-to-quantity ratio involved in...

You gotta hand it to Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios for having some of the longest running weekly events in Denton. The venue's Thursday night party Discipline is over a year old and Singles Going Steady, on Tuesday nights, is not far behind.
It's a hilarious and fun DJ night that survives on...

Long-hailed as one of the region's Meccas for live music, Denton is a fine place to become well-known.

"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. And, honestly, there's nothing quite like seeing a dance floor packed with a couple hundred folks dancing in unison, doing the "Cupid...

The DJs who host Vinyl Fantasy are still undecided on their DJ names. One week it's DJ Baby Jessica, another it's DJ Business Casual, and once it was MM/DJ/YY -- think about it for a sec.
They'll also do anything to get you to come to their DJ night, including dying. Well, pretending to,...

The old joke doesn't work on Chelsea Callahan. She loves local music so much that she probably would marry itif she could. For now, though, she's just pleased that they have a really great relationship.
"I don't think there's a reason to be negative," Callahan says. "To me, the music...

You say, "Public speaking?" and we say, "No, thank you." The idea is nauseating. But man, if we could only rap. Then we could turn to our alter ego, MC Pants, and get all 8 Mile up in that piece for our certainly supportive audience. Right. Problem is we can't freestyle. So, for the Monday Nite...

Ricki Derek is the stuff local legends might be made of. We've yet to really look into what makes this guy tick, but somehow he keeps popping up with something new yet never surprising. Surprising would be if he did drag at the Rose Room or fronted a metal band at O'Riley's. His new stuff will...
