Good Friday: DOMA Showcase Weekend Edition

So, we’ve told you about a bunch of shows this weekend. There are some great ones tonight (the Hieroglyphics show at the Granada, the London Nights party at minc ), Saturday (Portugal. The Man and Facing New York at House of Blues) and Sunday (Republic Tigers at Hailey’s, Todd Rundgren…

Shiny Happy News From Around The Edges

Shiny Around The Edges has a great new track up on its MySpace page: a live version of “I Hover Above You”, recorded at Sons of Hermann Hall back in February. But even better than the live version is the news that you’ll soon be able to hear the studio…

Bonus MP3: The Warlocks — “So Paranoid”

Are warlocks more powerful than wizards? Less? (Ian Brooks) So there’s a pretty solid show going on over in Fort Worth tonight at ye olde Lola’s Saloon with the Vandelles and The Warlocks. Brooklyn’s The Vandelles are a kinda experimental, psyched out surf-rock act, but the band I’m more interested…

Poster of the Week: London Nights at minc

We always appreciate it when visual artists and musicians collaborate, whether it’s by putting on a big event, holding a concert in a gallery or museum, or complementing live music with interesting visuals. But we don’t want to overlook the smaller ways in which visual artists and musicians work together,…

DOMA XX: Showcase Merchandise Infomation

So, by now, you should know all about Saturday night’s DOMA showcase lineup. And you should also know that, ahem, despite what a certain free daily pick-up around town wrote in its paper today, wristbands (available at the doors to all five venues) will only run you $5. You can…

Money Talks

The call came a while back now, but Play doesn’t have a problem remembering it. After all, it was one of those sacred, career-changing moments. One of those once-in-a-lifetime deals. Play, who along with his brother Skillz makes up the Dallas-based beat-making team Play-N-Skillz, was lying in bed when it…

Sorta Offers A Taste Of Its Upcoming Release On Myspace Stream

So I meant to post this earlier in the day but, alas, we were facing server problems all morning long. Hence the fact that all of our posts today came after three o’clock this afternoon. Sorry about that. Anyway… Looks like the new Sorta disc–the posthumous Carter Albrecht release and…

Has Meat Loaf Gone Bad? The Brits, Resoundingly, Say ‘Yes.’

Like a bat outta hell. At a concert in the United Kingdom last night, Meat Loaf apparently…well…OK, according to this report, he really sucked. Like really sucked. Like streams of cars were seen leaving the show only minutes after it started. Read this: “Responding to previous stories and taking advantage…

Bonus MP3: Audrey Auld — “Last Seen in Gainesville”

For a gal from Australia, country singer Audrey Auld sure sings with an authentic Texas twang. Check out this new song, “Last Seen in Gainesville,” from her most recent CD Music with the Dirt Left On. Bonus mp3: With a vocal style that faintly recalls local fave Lisa Loeb, Auld’s…

Slideshow: Mount Righteous At Space On Friday Night

Hal Samples snapped some shots of Mount Righteous for us… You had plenty o’ options to choose from this past weekend, but it seems like a good deal of you–as seen in this slideshow from Hal Samples–chose Mount Righteous’ performance at Space for your entertainment needs. Click the link, and…

In Case You Missed Centro-Matic Playing Around Town Recently…

Will Johnson, at the Granada a few weeks back. (Brian Harkin) Speaking of Dan’s Silverleaf, the Captain’s Dead music blog–which, really, is about as close as there is to a Centro-matic-specific blog out there–has a nice little live recording from Centro-matic’s performance at Dan’s that took place a few weeks…

Have You Seen This Man? You Might At Dan’s Silverleaf Tonight…

Is Brian Lane back in town for an impromptu Slobberbone reunion? 6’ 7” Slobberbone bassist Brian Lane was sighted last weekend taking in an American Werewolf Academy show at the Barley House. Kind of hard to miss him, really. And while it’s not surprising that the current Florida resident would…

Salim Nourallah Is Big In Fake Australian Advertising, Mate

People in office jobs find ways to make cubicle dwelling tolerable. Humble three-wall enclosures often feature weird toys, movie/music posters and photos of good times had elsewhere. Lulls in activity often result in the sending of YouTube videos, cute photos of animals that are photoshopped and links…like this one I…
