Tonight, down a ways on I-35, Cut Copy, Matt & Kim and Knightlife are playing a sold-out date at Stubb's. But there are still tickets available to tomorrow night's show, when the three danceable acts make their way to the Granada here in Dallas. As Observer contributor Doug Davis mentioned in his print write-up of this show, this is Cut Copy's second trip to the Granada in less than a year's time--and last time, when Cut Copy performed alongside their fellow Aussies in The Presets, it made
Love it when a plan comes together? Not so fast. Sure, they've got A-Rod and I-Rod, but what about Rusty Greer hitting leadoff, Tim Crabtree closing, and Johnny Oates acting human? John Gonzalez goes to Texas Rangers spring training to look for answers.
In this week's print edition of DC9, Observer contributor Doug Davis had this much to say about tonight's show with The Thermals at The Loft:The Thermals are a Portland-based
trio (they've gone through a troop of drummers) that retains the energy
and anger of punk and grunge that famously flowed out of the Northwest
in years past.Frontman Hutch Harris has always written intelligent lyrics
that tackle big issues of sexual tension, mortality and the tension
that exists between the individual and
In this week's print edition of DC9, Observer contributor Doug Davis checks in to hype up tomorrow night's The Octopus Project, This Will Destroy You and Ume bill at the Granada Theater tomorrow night, saying that the show "showcases a trio of excellent Texas bands that bring shoe-gazing--leavened with fun--to the stage for a promising Saturday night." He also recommends you get there early. And for good reason: The Octopus Project just might be the most interesting band currently calling Austi
Caity Colvard These three Texas acts made for a fine night of diverse sounds at the Granada Saturday night, and you can read more about the show in Doug Davis' show review from earlier today.But don't miss out on of Caity Colvard's fine work photographing the show for us, in this slideshow. (I'm just wishing we could the above shot even bigger...)
Hal SamplesDoug Davis had the last word on last night's Grizzly Bear show at the Granada... until now. Because Hal Samples was there to document the show from the front row--maybe even closer, from the looks of it--and we'll close out the day on DC9 with his look at the show.You can check out more shots of the band in this photo set.
​In this week's print edition, Observer contributor Doug Davis talked shop with indie rock chanteuse Natasha Khan, or, as he puts it, "the wildly creative force behind Bat for Lashes." It's a great interview, explaining the British Khan's love/hate relationship with America, and how that relationship helped shape the idea behind her most recent critically acclaimed full-length, Two Suns--go read it, if you haven't yet.And then shoot me an email with "Bat For Tickets" in the subject line. If yo
Hope Sandoval​ In this week's print edition of DC9, you won't see an interview with Hope Sandoval. Rather, I think, you'll see something a little more interesting: an interview with the Mazzy Star singer's current musical and household partner Colm O'Ciosoig, better known to many as the drummer of My Bloody Valentine. Written by Observer contributor Doug Davis, the story focuses not on the shy Sandoval so much as it does on the similarly shy O'Ciosoig's work with her--something that's a far cr
