“He can fix it! He can fix it,” they’ll chant. Two-year-olds in mosh pits, bottles thrown onstage and signatures on teething rings. After all, he is an international superstar. OK, so it probably won’t be that wild, but kids do love Bob the Builder. Fixing things in the United States…
The Wedding, The Fold and Ocean Is TheoryThe MaxFebruary 16, 2009 Better than: Any other rock show you went to last night, promise. Two weeks ago, BrokeNCYDE got real raunchy for a crowd of 15-year-olds at the Max. With choruses like, “Let’s get freaky now, let’s get fucking freaky…
Kudos to you, DFW music aficionados! Once again you’ve done an amazing job of capturing this past weekend’s concerts. For those of you who missed out, pull up a chair and get your music on. And, well, me? I’ll take the credit for bringing you this delightful dish of musical…
Because I’m home making elaborate plans for my sweetie’s Valentine’s dinner – or something – I had to (grudgingly) send intern Kelly Knickerbocker out to scope the Dallas Desire wannabes in Grand Prairie. Kelly, what’d I miss? Today at QuikTrip Park a group of beautiful – and surprisingly tough – young…

Nothing takes me back to one-fourth of my roots like a little accordion-driven, Czech-inspired polka music. Mutter the word kolache, and I’m there. The 3rd Annual Czech Music Festival is a newbie compared to other cultural festivals in the metroplex (the North Texas Irish Fest, Addison’s Oktoberfest, etc.), but doesn’t…
It’s Tapes ‘n Tapes, don’t cha know? First up as we round-up the weekend, these Minnesotans played in front of a rowdy crowd Friday night at Club Dada (read our review here). They rose to popularity a few years ago via the blogosphere, and from the looks of things, perform…
Tonight, somewhere in Texas, a Dallas Cowboys super-fan will return to home and mount a piece of signage above his family’s fireplace. Maybe a naked section of wall space will already be waiting. “We Stop Selling Beer at The End of the 3rd QUARTER!,” the black and red letters say…
