While tornado warning sirens serenaded most of Dallas last night, those of us cooped up in the House of Blues remained blissfully ignorant, thanks to a great show from the gypsy-indie set DeVotchKa.The band’s rocking live presence turned up the intensity on even their sleepiest numbers, weaving complex instrumentals around…
Club One hosted a reunion party of DJ Redeye and DJ Ronnie Bruno Saturday night, and our photographers Ray and Peter Lek fought through foggy lenses and shirtless clubbers to bring you these photos, up in our slideshow here.Computer Club spub Friday night at Lizard Lounge, and we’ve also got…
One of the most striking things about the Office Space 10th Anniversary Reunion down in Austin was how enthusiastic all the cast members still were about the film. They dusted off old lines of dialogue, destroyed a fax machine and even pulled off a break-dancing move for the crowd Sunday…
Fans and cast members filled Austin’s historic Paramount Theater last night to honor the 10th anniversary of one of Texas’s greatest gifts to the global zeitgeist: the Mike Judge classic Office Space. With its office park sprawl and generic American flag license plates on its cars, the movie looked like…
Jim already offered his recap from the opening of Decorazon Gallery’s Farewell Shoes for Mr. Bush exhibition, which went down in Oak Cliff Thursday night.What he didn’t tell you was that his dogged pursuit of this story in recent weeks earned him an invitation from gallery owners Hugo Garcia-Urrutia and…
The O’s, profiled by Darryl Smyers in this week’s Observer, were good enough to roam all over a local miniature golf course for our photographer Steven Visneau.Of course, only one image made it into print, so for all you die-hard O’s fans — we’ve got more pictures from the shoot…
In this week’s issue of the Observer, Dave Faries visits Fruia’s Tre Amici, the self-styled steakhouse “with Italian flair.” Check out his review here.As an added bonus for food porn fanatics, we present a gallery of photos from the restaurant, as seen through the lens of Sara Kerens. You’ll find…
O.A.R. played the House of Blues on Tuesday night, and — just in case you missed it — we’ve got a slideshow from the show up here, courtesy of our photographer Caity Colvard…
On this (overhyped?) National Letter of Intent Signing Day, high schoolers all over the country chose which school they’d be suiting up for next. For some, it was as simple as faxing in a signed letter (a mighty challenge in its own right), but for the Dallas Independent School District’s…
Like all the other reporters stopping by a Denny’s this morning, I’d come to watch the train wreck. The Super Bowl ad announcing a free Grand Slam breakfast today suggested tremendous potential for chaos. What if they’re overrun by bargain-hunting Black Friday swarms? What if they run out of eggs?…
Denny’s manager Ron Ronk accepted an extra delivery of eggs and breakfast meat this morning — one he hadn’t known to expect until late yesterday. As it is, Ronk hopes it’ll help his location — the Denny’s at 4400 N. Central Expressway, near Fitzhugh Avenue — weather a morning rush…
Not entirely sure why so many of the people in these shots look like they’re trying out moves they picked up in last week’s karate class, but here you go.Folks belting it at the mic, self-consciously flipping a bird at the camera and announcing to the entire club that, yes,…
Friday night saw the blogosphere darlings Tapes ‘n Tapes thrash it out onstage at Club Dada, and our photographers Hal Samples and Drew Williams ran tight photo coverage of the club all night long.Seriously, guy picking your nose three rows from the stage? Yeah, we saw that. Lucky for you,…
Our photographer Mattie Stafford was on hand to catch Los Campesinos! at Club Dada Saturday night, and has photos from the show in our slideshow here.Once you’ve soaked up the atmosphere, if you haven’t read Pete’s review of the show, which opened with Titus Andronicus, you can check that out…
Yep, there goes the Dallas Cowboys star off the Texas Stadium 50-yard line. That happened just a few hours ago, on this first day for online auction winners to pick up their treasures.More coming soon from Intern Kelly on the scene in Irving, now that the entire stadium has turned…
We noted yesterday that Rhett Miller’s in town to record a new solo album. Last night he played what was supposed to be a double-bill with Sarah Jaffe, to try out some of his new material in an acoustic show at Sons of Hermann Hall.Jaffe didn’t make it (we had…
Wax poetic all you want about the beauty to be found in the act of destruction (looking at you, Gallagher) but there’s also something that’s just fun about lighting shit on fire and tearing it up. Rare is the occasion when we’re able to do it with a cheering audience…
There’s a lot going on in just that one photo above from Zubar Saturday night — but we’ve got plenty more where that came from. Zubar hosted Pop Rocks with Brett Johnson and DJ Mike Chapman, while Voicerock and MC Atstro spun at the Green Elephant See the photos in…
Fantasia Barrino, who you may recall from her American Idol days, headlined the 26th Annual Black Music and Civil Rights Movement Concert, presented by the Black Acadamy of Arts and Letters at the Meyerson Symphony Center Sunday night.Dancers, poets and more singers performed at the show, which was also included…
Sons of Hermann Hall played host to Saturday night’s release party for Doug Burr’s new album The Shawl, and DC-9 was there to cover the show.Unfortunately (for me, anyway) camera troubles cut short the photography portion of the night — but we do have some shots from Burr’s set, along…
Black Tie Dynasty and What Made Milwaukee Famous (who you may remember from this May 2008 Aural Ambush) played the Granada Saturday night. Darryl Smyers mentioned the show in this week’s print edition, touting the lineup (but not necessarily its headliners…).So how’d it pan out? Well, our photographer Rachel Parker…
Sometime around 1:30 on Saturday morning, lesbian Christian electro-crunk duo Yo Majesty took the stage at Hailey’s Club in Denton, and our photographer Matt Nager waited it out to get shots from the show. See the photos in our slideshow here…
