Lest Waco’s semi-controversial new burger joint, Fat Ho Burgers, need even more attention, Dallas-based soul artist Quentin Moore has now penned a jingle for the joint that we’re pretty sure no one actually commissioned, wherein he promises that Fat Ho’s burgers are as “juicy as they want to be.” Sexy…
Back in January, you may recall, we passed along a new Air Review track called “Waiting Lessons,” which the supremely talented local band offered up to DC9 readers as a free download, all while warning that the song would not be included in the band’s forthcoming America’s Son EP. Scary…
It’s an annual tradition around these here pars, when those oh-so-hip folk with the leather jackets and motorcycles fake square off against the ones in square-framed glasses and their Italian scooters. Yes, it’s Rockers vs. Mods weekend. And this weekend’s festivities are once again quite full of events to keep…
Just a couple days ago now,we shared with you the news that Dallas’ Own Old 97’s would be releasing the second volume of songs in their two-part The Grand Theatre series on July 5. But it seems the band isn’t completely ready to give up on Vol. 1 just yet:…
Poster designer Brian Cvejanovich is no stranger to our winner’s circle here at Poster of the Week. He won our honor back in October for a design he made to promote a performance by The Thermals at the Granada Theater.But this poster? Man, it kind of takes the cake…
A couple weeks ago, we shared with you the music video for Dallas rapper Que P’s collaborative effort with A.Dd+’s Slim Gravy, a song called “Ain’t No Mo Love,” in which Que P bemoans, in rather incendiary manner, the lack of shared appreciation between hip-hop acts in town. Seems Que…
A little more eye candy for you this morning, this time courtesy of Kiddrae of the almost sickeningly cool Centre shop at Mockingbird Station, who stopped by Beauty Bar a few weeks back to visually check in DJ Sober’s weekly residency, Big Bang!, at the new Henderson Avenue hotspot. This…
I watched this video like seven times last night. It’s amazing. It has no local ties; according to the people that uploaded the clip, it’s from a group of Japanese musicians. I asked the Fizzy Dino Pop’s Avery Williamson, who now lives in Tokyo, if he knew who it was…
Maybe the best free event you’ll attend all year, the annual joint celebration that Good Records throws for both Record Store Day and the store’s birthday always makes for quite the happening shindig. No surprise, then, that this year’s offerings are once again top-notch.On Saturday, April 16, the Lower Greenville…
Since it’d be an incredibly trite way to open this rant, I won’t consult the fine works of Merriam and Webster and bore you with the definition of an encore. Like you, I already know the word’s meaning. Unfortunately, I’m also aware of what encores have become. From what I’ve…
On Monday, as you no doubt recall, we recommended you check out and download (for free!) A.Dd+’s debut full-length, When Pigs Fly. And, well, we stand by that recommendation. The album’s awesome.But, on an album completely filled with gems, perhaps the most sparkling of them all is DJ Sober’s contribution,…
I happened to exchange a few notes this morning with Old 97’s guitarist Ken Bethea, and turns out the timing couldn’t have been better: Just a few minutes ago, Bethea wrote back to confirm that the 97’s have finally set a release date for The Grand Theatre, Vol. 2. The…
We’ve been high on fresh-faced local garage-punk upstart Soviet since, well, pretty much the second we first heard of them. And our appreciation of the band’s aggressively slackerish approach has only increased in the weeks since, bolstered by the band’s fiery, and sometimes confrontational, live displays since upgrading to a…
In the paper version of DC9 that will be distributed around town later today, Daniel Hopkins takes a long, hard look at Child of Calamity, the two-years-in-the-making debut, full-length release from folksy local roots rocker Kirby Brown, who will celebrate the release of his new disc on Friday night at…
A whole three months have passed since we first shared with you the above video for “Only In My Double Mind,” the awesome lead single off Centro-matic’s forthcoming release, Candidate Waltz. So, we’ll excuse you if you haven’t seen it yet, I guess. Some things have changed over that time,…
Today’s a proud one for me, as — finally! — my likeness has been immortalized in music video form, courtesy of an anonymous YouTuber who goes by the username “DallasOdserver” and whose interests include “Exposing Pete Freedman and everything bad about Dallas Texas [sic].” The point of the above video?…
For about a year now, Leon’s house music blog, French Express, has been the best-kept secret in the local blogosphere — partially because he’s not from town (he moved here in 2010 from Toronto) and partially because he writes about so specific a niche in music that there’s little room…
Seems the Sisters Dupree in Eisley were especially busy two weeks back at Austin’s South by Southwest Music Conference: In the days since that ordeal, not one but two sites have posted videos of sisters Chauntelle, Sherri and Stacy performing private, acoustic takes of their new song “Better Love,” off…
It’s been a while since we’ve heard any new material out of Larry Gayao, former frontman for equally adored and despised Odis, which called it quits in April of lat year. We here at DC9 HQ had some fun at that band’s expense, sure, but our stance was never that…
After a successful launch in May of 2010, the open-air, downtown Dallas-hosted Homegrown Music and Arts Festival will return again in 2011, this time taking place on May 14, and once again at Main Street Garden. And the festival, brought to you by the folks behind Club Dada and City…
Speaking of new albums that are worth their substantial hype, allow us to point you in the direction of another big recent local release: A.Dd+’s When Pigs Fly. That album came out this weekend, with the duo of Slim Gravy and Paris Pershun’s a-couple-years-in-the-making masterpiece finally earning its release at…
Hate to say we told you so — in this case, that this new record from True Widow was going to be a big deal — except, well, that’s not true at all. We kind of revel in telling you so, actually.So, yes, we indeed felt that nice, warm and…
