The Tomorrowpeople of yesteryear. (Stephanie Bohn) You could tell something was different at The Double-Wide on Saturday night. The crowd was better dressed. Older, too–that’s true. Mostly, though, they were excited. You could sense the anticipation in the air on the Double-Wide’s patio. These people–The Angelus, be damned–were here to…
Club Dada’s front facade. Club Dada’s added a staff member: Ben Tapia. Tapia, who has been booking acts to the City Tavern for the past year or so (and will continue to do so), will help Dada co-owner Amanda Newman in booking local bands to Dada’s stage. Newman will continue…
…or so Black Tie Dynasty bassist Blake McCorquodale said at Saturday night’s Tomorrowpeople show. No slight to the Black Tie Dynasty guys, but I’m guessing, after hosting a few bigger name in-game performances already, Stars management wasn’t exactly expecting to make it this far in the series… –Pete Freedman…
Jonny Greenwood last night at Starplex. (Michael Insuaste) My checking account is empty. My ears are still ringing. My stomach and head are arguing over who’s in more pain from last night’s excesses. But if Radiohead were playing anywhere within a five-hour drive tonight, I’d seriously consider applying for a…
The radio program Texas Music Matters on KUT in Austin had The Old 97’s in studio for a performance last week and the powers that be behind the show at least partially used that gig as an excuse to talk some Dallas music. And that’s where I come in to…
St. Vincent’s got a different kind of 401k. (CLASH Magazine) …OK, not really. But Dallas-bred singer-songwriter Annie Clark does make that joke in this lengthy New York Times Magazine piece about (inset epic reverberating voice-over) “The Return of the One-Man Band!” The piece, written by John Wray for yesterday’s NYT…
We first fell in love with Mount Righteous after the band wowed us with their performance at Good Records’ eight birthday bash. Since then, we’ve taken in their debut disc, When The Music Starts, and we’ve interviewed 10 of the band’s 11 members for an upcoming story on the disc’s…

Wait, who are these guys again? There’s one very obvious must-see in the cards this weekend… but it’s not a bad one otherwise. Really! Here’s your weekend… Paul Slavens, Pet Hospital, Roy Ivy, Mike Graff 8 p.m. on Friday, May 16, at Club Dada Really interesting bill tonight in Deep…
What you missed on DC9 this week as you wondered, “Are they or aren’t they?” and collectively dumbed down the entire region… -We saw The New York Times waaaaaaaaay overestimate the amount of fans UNT football has. -We got all “OMFG” about Lisa Loeb’s appearance on Gossip Girl. -We got…
Getting To The Point Is Beside It, the new disc from I Love Math, won’t be released until later this month (May 27, to be exact), but at least one song from the Dallas-based indie pop outfit that, it should be noted, boasts the Deathray Davies’ John Dufihlo and The…
For those wanting to get a jump on the Frisco-only Ozzfest, Metallica–which is making its Ozzfest debut at this year’s one-off–has made its May 14 show from the Wiltern Theatre in El Lay available as a download. And, yup, it’s a pay-fer, course, but for a good cause. The show…

We’ve got quite a backlog of CDs we’ve never gotten around to, so we’re going to try to chip away at the pile with this regular feature. Some are left over from previous music editors, others fell by the wayside because they were trumped week after week by albums that…
Radiohead. As seen by Radiohead. (Jonny Greenwood) Only everyone who’s anyone is going to this weekend’s Radiohead show at Starplex. But before you do, you might want to read this blog statement from the band. And maybe this press release from the band’s publicist, which urges show attendees to “consider…
“Your tour ends here, Richardson.” We’ve got some tickets to giveaway, which, if you’re a fan of Rock of Love, you’re surely going to go nuts over. Enough build-up already! OK: Two pairs of three-day passes to Richardson’s Wildflower! arts and music festival, which we just raved about in this…
In response to the Bill O’Reilly tirade outtake that made Internet waves earlier this week and last, some freelance writer out of New Mexico made this gem: Thank you, Torrey Meeks of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Thank you so, so much. And, in case you were wondering, the music’s courtesy…
Sparrowbox, the tongue-in-cheek experimental punk and psychedelic outfit led by Gerard Dirkx, former frontman of legendary Dallas 70’s new wave band The Telefones, is taking mockery to new heights. In a recent email, Dirkx states that the Dallas Times Herald (which, y’know, folded in ’91) “just published” a poll on…
We dig it. (Alex Revier) We always appreciate it when visual artists and musicians collaborate, whether it’s by putting on a big event like Art Conspiracy, by holding a concert in a gallery or museum or by complementing live music with interesting visuals. But we don’t want to overlook the…
The cover of Tiger Moth’s EP. Fresh off the release of Tiger Moth’s fantastic debut EP, guitarist drummer Glenn Jackson is getting into the nightclub business. “Deep Ellum is about to turn around,” says Jackson, who along with business partner Albert Magallon are about to reopen the Darkside Lounge. “The…
