Kanye brings the good life to town on May 18 Given that we’ve been blowing up this space with Starplex show announcements of late (Radiohead, The Police with Elvis Costello), we’d be remiss not to mention The Glow in the Dark tour, which (no offense, Radiohead), has us most excited…
Saw a link to this interesting item on Sam Machkovech’s BigDlittled blog in case you were already pining for the days of yore a whole two weeks into my tenure here. Writes Sam: “You’ll be seeing a little more of me around these parts for a bit” Sure. The more…
Little Rock’s Bear Colony played The Prophet Bar last night Interesting night out last night around the D. Sure, it was Valentine’s Day, so the crowds weren’t exactly huge, but there were certainly plenty of movers and shakers about town. Met this guy, this gal, this guy, this guy and…
…and he’s not scared to tell ya. Or so the chorus goes in his new single, “Faleyuh” (like “failure,” not “Fallujah,” the city in Iraq). You’ll notice something funky going on with Pik’s voice here; he calls it “chipmonking,” for obvious reasons. No word yet on if Houston’s “Chopped and…
Everyone’s favorite local R&B/soul/neo-soul singer, Erykah Badu, has got a couple killer shows coming up in the near future. This one at the Ghostbar with Q-Tip looks cool: This one at the House of Blues, with ?uestlove, Pharoahe Monch, Bun B and others, looks even cooler: (Right-click images to see…
The Police. Lookin’ a whole lot younger. So, the Starplex has another announcement. Hot on the heels of all this Radiohead stuff that has you all so hot and bothered, we just caught wind of another sure-to-be-a-big-deal show coming ’round these parts: The Police, with “special guests” Elvis Costello and…
His name is Jason Castro and he calls Rowlett home. You might recognize him from the MTV show Cheyenne, in which he played love interest numero uno to Frisco’s Cheyenne Kimball. (This is a growing trend, apparently, that has a lot of AI viewers calling bullshit on this season–a whole…
I go way back with the now ever-present pop-rockin’ guys in the super-clean, Timbaland-tested, mom-approved OneRepublic. I mean, we both rep Colorado Springs, and I’ve spoken to the members a few times over the phone. OK, so we only spoke once. But it was for a cover story on how…
Before we get too deep into our budding relationship, Dallas—me being your new music editor here at the Observer and all—and before I start telling you guys just how much of a must-see Local Act A is or just how much tighter Local Act B would be if it took…
There’s a quick little Dallas dig buried deep in this online MTV News round-up piece (mainly about Aretha Franklin not being so into Beyonce’s Grammy performance). In an item about the upcoming Radiohead tour, the piece reads: “The last confirmed venue/date is May 18 at the awesomely named SuperPages.com Center…
From the inbox: “A couple of months ago, the Observer ran with the cover story about the $30K millionaires roaming Dallas, or a better descriptive title, ‘Douchebags.’ This video explores this concept.” Courtesy of local hip-hoppers The Triggermen comes… French Cuff CityAdd to My Profile | More Videos Funny, sure…
Search “Dallas music” on Youtube, and this is what comes up near the bottom of the first results page. That’s straight up embarrassing. For all parties involved. You. Me. Her. Especially her. — Pete Freedman…
Rakim said it best: “It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.” And, on that note, starting after this, my second-ever post to DC-9, you’ll be getting fed a steady streamline of Dallas music news/notes/anecdotes/whatnot from me on this page. But, for now, a little history. As you may…
