There’s a ton of great shows to check out this weekend. If you love Lynyrd Skynyrd enough to head north to Oklahoma that’s an option. If Oklahoma is way too much for you to handle right now Red Bull Sound Select is bringing Chevy Woods, Fat Tony, Sam Lao and…
Charli XCX Trees, Dallas Saturday, October 18, 2014 Charli XCX’s tour trucks are humming outside of Trees. The trucks are heavy duty and pack enough artillery for a pop star, or at least enough to adequately hold all of the junk LeBron James might need transported in a move from…
Sorry that the beautiful, beautiful weekend left you. It’s sad, but the weekend will be back in a few days, so chill. You’ve got some serious clinginess issues. To tide you over, we’ve got a few shows to keep you company: Ne-Yo is stopping by the House of Blues, Gardens…
Halloween is great when you’re a kid, but let’s face it: It’s at its best when you’re an adult. Everybody relishes dressing up as a provocative cat or as a zombie. Also, we especially love getting trashed while playing dress up. In fact, Halloween is the best holiday. It easily…
The weekend is here and as per usual there’s a few suggestions for concerts around Dallas that we’d like to throw your way. No pressure. The choice is yours. But, just know that Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias are gonna hold it down at American Airlines Center, Sharon Van Etten hits…
It’s Monday and time to get back into the swing of things, but dearest DC9 reader, the swing of things for you is music. We’ve got a few shows we think would bode well with you this week. The one and only Sir Paul McCartney is playing at the American…
In the wee small hours of the morning on Tuesday, September 30, Bryan “DJ Red X” Walker headed home after a routine night of DJing at KUSH Mediterranean Bar & Grill, where he held a residency. While in bed with his fiance, Melissa Pruitt, he began having convulsions. After DJ…
Another weekend is upon us in Dallas, which means more shows to partake in to take your mind off of the utter terror that is Ebola, but mostly because you love music. Ringo Starr, who used to be in this little band called The Beatles (is that spelled correctly? are…
Benjamin Booker Three Links, Dallas Friday, October 3, 2014 There’s a man scalping tickets outside of the venue. A sold-out show can bring out that type of “entrepreneurial spirit.” Yes, of course, scalpers pacing about, hollering about tickets with their deep voice ain’t anything special. Nor is it a particularly…
Welcome to the working week, folks. There’s more than a few shows you should keep on your docket in the days ahead. Brit rockers Temples are taking their talents to where Big Things Happen, one half of the surviving Beatles is in town (Ringo, yes, but, a Beatle no less),…
Lecrae is what we call a Christian rapper. His album, Anomaly, reached the top spot on the Billboard charts. That’s right, the same Billboard 200 chart that Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Rihanna eviscerate every time they release an album. And he did so by selling more copies, 88,000, in…
It’s okay if you aren’t making the trek on down to Austin for Austin City Limits Festival. You won’t miss out on much — other than the much beloved stop in West for some delicious Czech Stop kolaches — because there’s more than enough shows to catch at home this…
Index Music Festival Deep Ellum, Dallas Friday, September 26 through Sunday, September 28, 2014 There’s something particularly thrilling about seeing Local Natives perform as the Dallas skyline shines brightly. If you’re going to have a festival in a major American city, this is the way to do it. The band’s…
If you’re looking for something to do other than the State Fair, you’ve come to the right place. (If you’re looking for some deep-fried food stuffed inside some other deep-fried food, then yes, the State Fair is your ticket.) As always, DC9 has a few music suggestions to get you…
The hottest ticket in town is gonna be Index Fest. There’s no doubt about this. The lineup includes Future Islands, Local Natives, Foxygen, the Cool Kids and more. We already gave you a list of the can’t-miss shows to see at Index. However, if you aren’t doing the festival thing…
There are more music festivals in Dallas at any given moment than there are Tumblr blogs about One Direction or goldfish in a Petsmart. Yes, another festival is happening this weekend, but you should absolutely be paying attention to this one. What more can you ask for than a festival…
This is the last full week of September. Soon enough it’ll be October, then Halloween, then Christmas and then 2015. Time flies so spend it wisely, like by going to shows in North Texas. There’s yet another music festival, a rock legend at the American Airlines Center, free shit at…
You probably love Spotify, lest you’re an old-school rock dude, like Thom Yorke, or believe the Internet is evil (well, it kind of is). The ease and wide-ranging catalog is the equivalent of having Christmas everyday for music enthusiasts. Unless we have a cool dad or mom, most of us…
Well, it’s the weekend once again. We here at DC9 hope you powered through the week and that you’re looking for some relief. We want you to go to some bars and have a few drinks. We want you to pregame beforehand. (That’s just being fiscally responsible.) But most importantly,…
In the fall of 2011, I got a gig as an in-house scribe for 35 Denton. It wasn’t paid, save for a complimentary wristband to the four-day festival (which is damn near a golden nugget for any young music fan). One of our tasks leading up to the festival’s weekend…
The week ahead will have its mundane moments. That’s just a part of life. However, as per usual, we here at DC9 have more than a few ways to spice it up for you with some live music suggestions. There’s the biting satire of Lily Allen, Justin Nozuka’s soulful folk,…
Well, it’s the weekend and it’s been a crazy week. The National Football League has proven itself to be a true shitstorm and foreign affairs, with ISIS and all, aren’t looking so hot. But at least you’ve got music. You’ve worked hard all week and now you can go out…
