Yesterday over on Unfair Park, Robert posted quite the coup of an interview–a sit-down with Sir Anthony Daniels, or, as you and I know him best C-3PO. The peg? Tonight’s Star Wars: In Concert affair out at Cowboys Stadium, which, as we all know, hasn’t had the best of fortune…
Speaking of CMJ ’09 (kinda), Neon Indian’s up at the music marathon this weekend, set for a performance tomorrow night. And a hotly anticipated one at that–or so say the folks over at Spin, who’ve named Palomo and Pals among its 25 must-hear artists at the weekend-long festivities.And, sure, that’s…
Dallas natives and brothers Juan and Oscar Salinas, who combine to form Play-N-Skillz, have won a couple Grammy awards. And, in case you forgot as much, they’re happy to remind you a couple times in the above video.Of course, that’s not the sole purpose of its creation (though, certainly, it…
As promised, Dead Prez stopped in to perform at the Prophet Bar and participate in the Deep Ellum venue’s phenomenal weekly Wednesday night hip-hop jam session this week. No, really, we’ve can prove it–in the form of a slideshow from Gloria Levario, who dutifully stopped in on the event to…
We’re all pretty excited around here–and rightfully so, I’d say–about the Built to Spill/Dinosaur Jr. show at the Granada Theater this evening. No doubt you are, too.I just hope you have your tickets already–over the weekend, we’d heard sales to the show had already reached 900 tickets. So you can…
Less than a week after his band played the Doublewide, and just a few days after he was among the loyal fans crowded into Elm Street Tattoo, enjoying the Slowride reunion performance, guitarist Ian MacDougall of the Denton-bred Riverboat Gamblers was back in Austin, riding his bike home from work…
Last time the Butthole Surfers played the Granada Theater, the freaks came out. Last time Peaches played the same place, it was the voyeurs’ turn. So it stands to reason, then, that when the two acts share a bill at the Granada on the night before Halloween, all bets are…
Bosque Brown’s not in town this weekend–along with a host of other DFW-based acts, the enchanting, Mara Lee Miller-fronted folk act’s been up in New York City for SXSW Light (aka CMJ 2009). Which, sure, might be as good enough an excuse as any to post the above video of…
Just last week, Daniel Rodrigue caught up with NX35 festival organizer Chris Flemmons to see how things were going as preparations for year two of the pre-SXSW fest began.Today, some news to report on that front: On its festival blog, NX35 has just announced the keynote speaker for its 2010…
At first, it was the spectacle of the whole thing. That’s what made the new Cowboys Stadium stand out as such a treat. I mean, c’mon, have you been to the football stadium? It’s pretty damn impressive, what with all of its plenty talked-up features: the fact that it looks…
On its first follow-up to 2008’s brilliant debut, the uplifting When the Music Starts, Grapevine’s 11-piece acoustic collective of Mount Righteous seems a little less content singing oddball, inspirational tunes about childhood aspirations and a little more bent on presenting itself as an unpredictable carnie sideshow. That’s not to say…
…and for the people who only watch videos on Youtube, your link.Quite the time last Wednesday night at our weekly DC9 in SPACE taping, as the crazy kids in Giggle Party stopped on by SPACE Studio with a couple friends and props in tow. Among those props? Black cloaks, silver…
As promised, Grapevine’s own Bryce Avary of The Rocket Summer has gone ahead and debuted his new single, “You Gotta Believe,” the title track to his new EP, over on the Alternative Press’ Web site.And, according to Avary’s label, Island Def Jam, it created quite the stir, apparently crashing the…
A couple interesting shows over the next two night’s at the still freshly re-opened Trees in Deep Ellum. Tonight, for instance, marks the second week of the Best DJ in Town’s new weekly concert series at the venue. Continuing along the theme of his Sunday night “The Local Show” on…
The double-dipping Austin City Limits episode featuring Andrew Bird and Dallas’ own St. Vincent will make its national debut on Saturday night around the country–just not, uh, here, as KERA’s schedule runs a little bit behind the national PBS one in terms of ACL airings. The recent tourmates’ episode will…
On a walk down Elm Street while heading to last week’s Slowride Reunion at Elm Street Tattoo, I noticed that the doors were open at 2826, and a few people were buzzing about. The club isn’t yet open, mind you–but owner Frank Maldonado, a couple booking agents and some artists…
Dorrough’s still spending his days as a BET darling, and, as such, spent part of last week taking a crew from BET.com’s The Deal on a tour of his old stomping grounds as a student at Prairie View A&M University. In the clip above, you can watch Dorrough and his…
In this week’s print edition of DC9, you won’t see an interview with Hope Sandoval. Rather, I think, you’ll see something a little more interesting: an interview with the Mazzy Star singer’s current musical and household partner Colm O’Ciosoig, better known to many as the drummer of My Bloody Valentine…
Don’t even begin to kid yourselves: Getting around town this weekend will be a pain. Lower Greenville in particular? It’s gonna suck. So hard.What really sucks though, is that it’s a pretty packed weekend of live music, and if you’re gonna head out on the town, well, you’re just gonna…
A funny scene from last night’s Universal Rehearsal Studios-housed run-through for tonight’s Red Bull Soundclash event at Victory Plaza featuring Erykah Badu, The Cannanoids and Shiny Toy Guns: Shiny Toy Guns vocalist Sisely Treasure had just helped Badu run through the lyrics and vocal intonations of STG’s “Ghost Town,” which…
In this week’s dead tree version of DC9, Lance Lester extols the virtues of Har Mar Superstar, despite the fact that the singer looks, well, just like Ron Jeremy, right? Writes Lance:Surely, somewhere deep down inside, he has to realize that he’s just a guy who looks like Ron Jeremy…
From the awesome-unofficial-videos-that-should-be-real-videos department comes this above clip, which features a beyond wasted (on something, just not sure what, exactly) guy, stumbling around a convenience store while trying to buy more booze to get his fix. It’s all set to Neon Indian’s Internet hit “Should’ve Take Acid With You,” only,…
