I did. And it was essentially a four-minute reading of this piece we linked to yesterday.So if you missed it–and I won’t blame you if you did, seeing as how the times we were given were Eastern Time Zone and not Central Time Zone times–you can rest assured, knowing that…
Maybe you’ve seen the above clip before? It’s the video for “Sleep Whale” from one of my favorite Denton bands, Mom. Nice, right? I think so. But nice enough to become the basis for the band’s entire future? Hmmm. Well, it looks that way, actually. According to the band’s blog…
Just heard from Play-N-Skillz’s publicist, Gina Torres, who checks in to let us know when we can catch “Dallas Week” formally–and not on the Internet, but on actual television, woot woot.Seems the clip, which features Play-N-Skillz “chaperoning” MTV throughout town, will air three times this week on MTV2 and like…
Looks like the fruits of MTV’s labor from a few weeks back, when the network followed D-Town production wunderkinds Play-N-Skillz around town for a party at plush and a dance instruction deal at Big T Bazaar are gonna be unraveling over on MTV.com all week–if the above promo, which features…
While Zac Crain is geeking out over on Frontburner today about a Sex Pistols cover band playing the Longhorn Ballroom next month (my how the mighty have fallen…), he was able to touch on some interesting news that I’d missed earlier today…(Thanks, spam filter!)…namely, that the original lineup of Dallas…
Next month, metalheads and gamers will find themselves on the same playing field, thanks to the upcoming March 29 release of Guitar Hero: Metallica. But it’s not all Hetfield, Ulrigh, Hammett and Trujilo in the mix. Gamers will also be able to play as the great Lemmy (he is God,…
Y’know what’s a pretty fun game to play? Head on over to NX35’s site and check out its “Who’s Playing?” list. Then scroll through the names and see if you can tell which are locals and which aren’t. I bet you’ll get a couple wrong. I know I have.But one…
As national tours go, there’s really only so much going on this weekend–as evidenced by the fact that, unless I’m forgetting some, we only previously spread word on three weekend shows already: the Lola’s Stockyard show tonight with AA Bondy, Doug Burr and Telegraph Canyon, the Longhorn Saloon show tonight…
Alright, so this one’s a trick question, admittedly. See, the JoBros are locals at this point, as this USA Today article from this morning so dutifully depicts.But the above clip, which ran on Saturday Night Live last weekend is a pretty funny look at the Jonas Brothers as time travelers…
In this week’s installment of the DC9 at Night Podcast, Merritt Martin, Noah W. Bailey and I huddled up to talk about some of the bands from the region that made the cut and were asked to perform at SXSW 2009’s sanctioned showcases. And we tackled some tough, tough topics,…
Leonard Cohen, whose music, among other things, remains the sole reason why 1990’s Pump up the Volume is worth watching, will be stopping through town on Friday, April 3, for a performance at Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie.Tickets go on sale a week from today, at 10 a.m., through Ticketmaster…
Since those Hank III tickets went so fast, let’s re-up real quick with our other giveaway for the day…AA Bondy, former frontman for the band Verbana (an act Chris Parker expresses much love for in his preview of tonight’s show, which ran in this week’s paper), has made quite a…
In this week’s print edition, Lance Lester talks some serious talk about the bloodlines of Hank III, who, along with Those Poor Bastards and his band Assjack, will be performing at the newly re-opened Longhorn Saloon in Fort Worth tonight for–get this–a sold out show.Impressive? You bet, considering that the…
Since we already mentioned the Dallas Symphony Orchestra this morning (albeit tangentially), I’d say that this is as appropriate a time as any to spread word of the DSO’s 2009-2010 pops lineup, which was announced earlier this week.Launching in August, the schedule kicks off with Motown’s The Contours and is…
Must be nice to be a Booker T. Washington High School student. Especially today, as the kids over at the arts magnet on Routh Street, are getting quite the treat: a live performance and a lesson from Branford Marsalis. The 48-year-old Marsalis, who along with his brothers, is about as…
4AD has announced the release date of St. Vincent’s sophomore release, Actor, and, as the header to this post implies, we can expect the disc about two and a half months from now. The disc, produced here in Dallas by The Paper Chase’s John Congleton, also features North Texas musicians…
Lykke LiGranada TheaterFebruary 17, 2009 Better than: staying home and pretending that Lykke Li’s Last Call with Carson Daly performance–which also aired last night–was actually filmed today. It was a pretty chilling sight: the frail Lykke Li, dressed in black and set against a black backdrop in an otherwise dark theater;…
Two weeks ago, when the news first broke that area new wave powerhouse Black Tie Dynasty was calling it quits, local music fans immediately found themselves choosing sides in the clash of two very opposing sentiments. One contingent quite courteously lamented the band’s breakup, thanked its members for their time…
Just in case you happened to be flipping ‘cross the radio dial yesterday or today and you stopped on Movin’ 107.5 (because you were on your way to your pilates class) but, instead of “Hot N Cold”, you heard a strange foreign language coming out of your speakers (it’s called…
Ah, but one has nothing to do with the other.Hot on the heels of the announcement that the legendary Dallas-based pro wrestling family, the Von Ehrics, will be inducted into the WWE’s Hall of Fame this year comes word that the Dallas-based cow-punk band of the same name has a…
In this week’s just-circulated dead tree version of DC9, Jesse Hughey pretty much goes ga-ga over the latest release from Austin’s …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, calling the just-released The Century of Self, “a powerful return to form, with several moments of greatness.” Hughey also…
OK, so maybe this is kinda old news at this point, but, yes, it’s been confirmed: After weeks and weeks of truly heated speculation, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced at a press conference yesterday that country music icons George Strait and Reba McEntire would be joining forces to perform at…
