• Matthew and The Arrogant Sea Gets Some More Love...

  Barn sides are the new brick walls. (Trevor Paulhus)Nope, we're definitely not the only ones digging MATAS' Family Family Family Meets The Magic Christian disc. Just spotted this little bit o' love today: AWMusic, the Toronto-based blog that gave Forever the Sickest Kids some love in its year-end lists, has named MATAS as its No. 1 Unknown Artists of the Year, which is a definite compliment, even if it might come with a bitter taste.Writes the blog: "Life being a folk artist can be tough especia

• Q&A: Third String Productions' Mike Ziemer Talks South By So What, Not Killing Deep Ellum

  On Saturday at the Plano Centre, Mike Ziemer's Third String Productions will throw its annual South by So What!? event--a deal that's become something of a tradition. But it's not the only show Ziemer puts on every year. At just 23 years of age, he's booked thousands of bands on hundreds of shows--most of which take place in the suburbs of Dallas. And, despite his age, over the past few years, Zimer's Third String Productions has become well-known throughout the region and beyond, for all-day mu

• Distant Gig Alerts: Air Guitar Tournament and Vans Warped Tour Lineup

  Dallas' own Forever the Sickest Kids are headlining this year's Warped Tour.Oh my, what a summer it's going to be. Last year, Pete and I got ferociously booed at US Air Guitar Regional Tournament at the House of Blues because we didn't buy into some of the acts' hype. Oh well. Even so, I must admit (and I think Pete will, too) that this event was a lot more fun than I initially imagined. It was still a dorkfest of the highest order, though. Oh, and now it's coming back.This time, the contest wil

• Green River Ordinance To Flow Down The Hills Tonight

  Preston Jones of the Star-Telegram has word today that Fort Worth's Green River Ordinance will see its song "Outside" air on tonight's episode of MTV's The Hills. And, actually, that makes perfect sense, wouldn't you know?This placement further continues the region's serious pwnage of the drama-filled semi-reality show's soundtrack, as GRO is now the third area band to see a track aired on the show. Last year, Forever the Sickest Kids got placed all up in there and, in recent weeks, The Bri

• "Hmmm. Then It's Not Just A Clever Name...?"

  Weird news out of Forever the Sickest Kids camp this week, as the band has been forced to cancel a string of shows because... um, well, this is a little awkward... ok, let's just say it... because guitarist Marc Stewart caught the swine flu. Stop laughing, guys, this is serious. Not some unfortunate pun to make with the band's name. None of that. It's not even April Fools Day.Reached out to band management yesterday afternoon and turns out, it's quite the unfortunate deal: The six-piece band wa

• Forever The Sickest Kids Collaborate With Selena Gomez... For A Remix? (Uh-Huh.)

  Since Disney teen star Selena Gomez is apparently all about promoting local produce (seen her Borden milk commercials yet?), I guess we can return the favor and mention this: The Grand Prairie native has joined forces with her fellow Dallas suburbanites in Forever the Sickest Kids to record a remix of sorts, in which Gomez sings extra harmonies for the song "Woah Oh (Me vs. Everyone)"--the track that broke into radio playlists last summer and put FTSK (and, subsequently, the entire Dallas mall

  Jonathan Cook, as seen on ABC News/Twitter.​I admit, this is about as tangential as local music coverage can get, but it's still kinda funny: Last night, in an ABC News story about the issues Twitter and Facebook faced yesterday as a result of cyber attacks that may or may not be related to the ongoing conflict between Georgia and Russia, the news organization, in a shot showing its viewing public what a Twitter feed looks like, flashed an image of a tweet from Forever the Sickest Kids frontma

• The Rocket Summer Preps New EP, Announces Full-Length For Early 2010

  Bryce Avary​Grapvine's own The Rocket Summer--or pretty much the person we all have to thank for the success that all the mall-punk acts of the region have been having in recdent years--dropped some big news earlier this week, announcing two new records set for release in the near future. Later this month, on October 27, he'll digitally release a new EP, called You Gotta Believe, and in early 2010, he'll return with his second major label full-length released for Island Records with Of Men and
