It’s a great time to be alive and attending concerts in Dallas. This coming week is especially stacked, and we’re excited for you to go to as many of theses shows as possible. Unless you have an Apple Watch, then we hope you fall into quicksand and sink to the…
Well, we’ve got another great weekend on our hands. Dan Deacon and Lee Fields help Do214 celebrate one year. Lily Taylor, iill, Rat Rios, $kaduf, Tony Q and Plain Jane help Vice Palace celebrate its one-year anniversary as well. The Denton Arts & Jazz Fest comes back around. Matt &…
Seems like Art Peña is having one hell of a week. Yesterday we reported that he’s going to get $5,000 from the city of Dallas to start his own record label. That, as it turns up, is merely a bonus to the party that he’s throwing this weekend in honor…
It looks like the city of Dallas is putting its faith in the underground Dallas music scene. Arthur Peña, painter, teacher and champion of several local DIY projects, applied for a grant with the Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs to turn his Vice Palace brand, a roving music party, into…
Just another week in good ole Dallas, which of course means a new slate of shows to check out. Vice Palace celebrates its one year anniversary as does Do214. Pitbull does the casino show in Oklahoma, Caitlin Rose (a former Dallasite) hits Dan’s in Denton and Father John Misty does…
This week looks like a very fruitful one in terms of shows. First and foremost, there’s a ton of Record Store Day stuff happening with a gajillion bands and DJs sharing their love of music. Curren$y has a 4/20-eve show at South Side Ballroom where the clock is sure to…
Just last week we were getting our feathers in a ruffle, heading out onto our lawn in Deep Ellum and screaming “GIT, GIT OFF.” We were shaking a stick at development deals coming to Deep Ellum in the form of retail space and lofts. But, it comes from a place…
Trade publications tell us things that are generally only interesting to people within the trade. Finding out how much the person who is directing one of the next 74 Kevin Hart movies or how much the current hyped-up indie movie got picked up for a distribution deal in Variety doesn’t…
There’s a bunch of crappy weather on the way this weekend, but we can manage so long as there’s so good music to tide us over, indoors. Thankfully there is, so we’re not going to be beholden to Netflix all weekend. Man Man does Red Bull Sound Select at Club…
Show Empire Records to anybody born in the post-9/11 era (I think we’re calling them Generation Z) and they might think you’re showing them some type of surreal period-piece drama. Record stores, sadly, aren’t as enormous nor as important to music fans as they once were. They’re like boutique shops…
We here at DC9 at Night could go on and on about our love for Deep Ellum. What’s great about the neighborhood is its concentrated number of music venues, local businesses and its, well, character. The well-worn buildings accent the fact that the neighborhood is truly one of Dallas’ richest…
Some people think that tainting the purity of Rae Sremmurd’s “No Flex Zone” by remixing it is tantamount to a war crime, but ravers are not those people, so the crowd at Lizard Lounge in Deep Ellum, sweaty and bouncing, swallows every downbeat. It’s late on a Friday night in…
Have you heard about Tidal? Do you have a strong opinion about Tidal? Or do you just find it kind of hard to really care about it? When a cache of mainstream music stars joined together on a stage and signed some sort of declaration for their new music streaming…
This week, the first proper week of April, looks promising. tUnE-yArDs is at South Side Music Hall, as is Jungle. Man-Man does one of those dirt-cheap Red Bull Sound Select shows with Zorch and Party Static at Club Dada. The Randy Rogers and Josh Abbot Bands play at WinStar. Aimee…
Thee Theater opened with little to no pomp and circumstance. Tidal, it was not. They just threw a few shows and put the flyers on social media. Still, droves of people came for the venue’s marquee name shows with Waka Flocka Flame and RiFF RAFF last month. “What we kind…
We’ve made it folks. It’s the spring time. This will last for two months tops and then it will be as hot as the layer of hell where Mark David Chapman and Lucifer brunch. Cherish these days folks. Anyway, there’s a bunch of great shows you can check out this…
Ariana Grande American Airlines Center, Dallas Wednesday, April 1, 2015 I’m not exactly the target demographic for an Ariana Grande show. I’m a 23-year-old male who’s been listening to a lot of Kendrick Lamar, Courtney Barnett and Chilly Gonzales lately. Out-of-touch record executives can’t plan marketing campaigns around a guy…
A brand new addition to the Dallas music scene has been hyped up and hyped up and hyped up. And well, the hype is well deserved. The Bomb Factory opened its doors to the public on Thursday with a spectacular sold out show headlined by the Queen of Dallas, Erykah…
Every year pure insanity comes to Austin, Texas and gives it a bear hug. You may be more familiar with this pure insanity in the form of a music, technology and film festival called South by Southwest. And each year we’re always inundated with some very concerned gripes that the…
The insanity of South By South West is over. You’ll have to wait until next year to stand in unforgivably long lines unless you want to post up at the DMV for shits and giggles. However, the music never stops. This week, The Bomb Factory has its grand opening. Dallas…
As you’re probably very aware. It’s South By Southwest right now, but who cares? You’re in Dallas and you’re still more than capable of seeing some shows, plus you wont stand in line for 1,000 hours. TV on the Radio plays its second sold out show at the Granada tonight,…
Are you so over SXSW? Don’t wanna make the drive? Have to work? Go to school? Well, you might be in luck, if there’s a certain band you want to see. Every year when the festival pops up in Austin, a few smart musicians pop over to Dallas. The not-so-smart…
