Well, it’s mid-March, so it must be time again for South by Southwest, that annual rite of spring, and all that it entails—barbecues, beer, badges, buzz bands and, ah yes, big-ass blisters on your feet from standing around all day watching music and hightailing it from one part of downtown…

Last year, after years of producing obscure scores for television shows, films, commercials and video games from the guarded confines of a modest Los Angeles locale, the legendary art rockers/New Wavers in Devo awoke from quite the slumber. For the first time since 1990, the band offered a studio release…

It’s been three years now since Spin magazine named the once-upon-a-time Denton residents in The Riverboat Gamblers to its list of the 25 bands to see live “right now,” but still, the band’s penchant for raucous showmanship and borderline out-of-control performances remain its calling card. That hardly means the band’s…

The easiest crack to take at the inaugural NX35 bill, even with its list of more than 100 bands, is that the bulk of the bands seem to come from the region. Perhaps, as “Music Conferette” organizer Chris Flemmons explains (“Northern Exposure,” page 63), it’s simply a testament to the…

We’ve been doing this every day this week, now, so you should know the drill…If you wanna see The O’s, The Drams, Eleven Hundred Springs and Old 97’s this Saturday at our St. Patrick’s Day Parade After-party for free, well, you’ve come to the right place. First two people to…

Earlier this afternoon at Gorilla vs. Bear, Chris Cantalini posted the above video of Bosque Brown frontwoman Mara Lee Miller and her sister/pianist Gina Milligan performing the song “Phone Call” off of her just-released album, Baby. It was shot by Spiral Diner executive chef James M. Johnston in the home…

Some blues you can use: Tonight at Dan’s Silverleaf in Denton, the 88-year-old Pops Carter will bust out his hardcore blues, funk and soul sound to teach the young folk a thing or two.Don’t know Carter? You should; he’s been living in Denton since 1969. His musical beginnings came out…

Saturday night at the House of Blues saw 10 of Texas’ finest coming together to perform at the two HOB stages. And it only cost $10 to get into the joint. Quite the steal, really. And, yeah, we hyped the C3- and Spune-produced event pretty hard last week. But it…

Those crazy Lek brothers were out and about yet again this past weekend, taking in some of the craziest happenings in Exposition Park on Friday night. At Fallout Lounge, the lens caught people rocking out to Junky Van, and at minc, the Lek’s spotted the crowd getting down to Dean…

Here’s a little show announcement you won’t see elsewhere (not even in our show announcement post from earlier today): Philadelphia’s always buzzing experimental gypsy rock act, Man Man, is coming to The Lounge on April 24, just a day before the band heads to Oklahoma for the Norman Music Festival…

Alright. We did this once before, and they went in less than ten minutes, so let’s do it again now…Wanna see the Old 97’s, Eleven Hundred Springs, The Drams and The O’s on Saturday… for free? OK, then. Email me right now with the phrase “Four Leaf Clover” in the…

Ah, yes. ‘Tis that jolly, drunken time of the year. And this year, at our annual after-party, we’re going the all out alt-country route with the Old 97’s, The Drams, Eleven Hundred Springs and The O’s. Should be a yee-haw time, if that makes any sense (I know; it doesn’t)…

It’s Friday, everybody, case ya didn’t know. An, as such, it’s time to look at the weekend calendars and plan out your, um, plans. Let’s do this. First, the shows we’ve always talked on…Tonight, there’s the Dr. Dooom vs. Dr. Octagon show at the Loft and that apparently hotly anticipated…
