Coldplay, Robyn, Wolf Gang
June 22, June 23 at American Airlines Center
Is Coldplay the biggest band in the world? That's what they were always shooting for. Their latest album, Mylo Xyloto, has only continued their ascent. Its syrupy melodies and sincere lyrics pull in fans by the truckload and make them an easy target for critics.
EL-P
Thursday, June 21, at Granada Theater
This, as we've mentioned already,
is the headlining act in the DC9 at Night Crawl, which starts at Single
Wide for DJ Heavy Sigh. Next, the party moves to the Granada and then
on to Beauty Bar for DJ Sober.
Waxeater
Thursday, June 21, at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios
Audra previewed this show here
by mentioning that one of the band's songs is titled "Are Those Fucking
Beers Ice Cold Yet?" Clearly written before the advent of blue
mountains.
DJ Wanz Dover
Thursday, June 21, at The Foundry
As
Deb mentioned the other day, Wanz's long-running Lost Generation DJ
night at Arcade Bar has come to an end. You can still find him at The
Foundry on Thursdays spinning some badass soul power jams.
Wolf Gang
Thursday, June 21, at The Prophet Bar
If
you didn't score tickets to either of Coldplay's shows this weekend,
then you'll have a chance to catch the opening act tonight.
Unfortunately, I'm not talking about Robyn, but British act Wolf Gang,
whose synthy pop might out-fun Coldplay.
The Boom Bang, Fungi Girls
Friday, June 22, at Queen City Hall
Oklahoma
is cranking out some fantastic punk acts as of late. Broncho will be in
town next weekend, but first there's The Boom Bang, who will be
supported by soon-to-be Fort Worth act Fungi Girls.
Chamillionaire
Friday, June 22, at Hat Tricks
You're
gonna have to ride dirty up to Lewisville to see Chamillionaire. The rapper, whose career peaked in 2007 when "Ridin'" was the only song you
could hear anywhere, has been caught up in label trouble since he left
Universal Records last year. Still, that shouldn't stop this from being
an interesting show in the hip-hop loving city of Lewisville.
Linus Pauling Quartet
Saturday, June 23, at La Grange
Audra wrote up this show in the paper this week.
Sucre
Saturday, June 23, at Anthropologie (Fort Worth)
Eisley's
Stacy King, whose new project Sucre has been developing some buzz, will
be at the Anthropologie in University Park in Fort Worth. The whole
band will be in tow, including her husband, Mutemath's Darren King.
Bun B
Saturday, June 23, at Beamers
The Houston rapper returns, with Dorrough Music and Young Black.

Sunday, June 24, 7th Street Corridor
It's
the party in which Fort Worth celebrates themselves. The entire 7th
Street corridor will be hopping with concert-goers as nearly 50 Fort
Worth acts celebrate their Fort Worth-ness. Oh, and it's free.
Lower Dens
Sunday, June 24, at Dada
Audra previewed this show as well, which brings former Texan Jana Hunter to town with her band Lower Dens. Their new album, Nootropics, improves upon 2010's Twin-Hand Movement by adding a little Krautrock influence.
