It’s been a few months since we’ve featured one of our ongoing series of busking videos from Globe Trek Productions, but today the wait is over. The subject of this installment should need no introduction for regular readers of DC9 at Night: Blue, the Misfit, whose debut full-length, Child of…
On Saturday George Strait is supposed to play his last live show ever, with the caveat that while he won’t be performing live any longer, he does have a five-album deal to fulfill for his record label, MCA Nashville. This is the sort of “retirement” we constantly see in the…
Dance music is a vast world that often gets clumped together as one giant thing when in reality it has as many if not more differences and origins than the majority of popular music. All of the sub genres can seem a little intimidating and confusing. Drum and bass, jungle,…
Parquet Courts With Swearin’ and Radioactivity Club Dada, Dallas Tuesday, June 3, 2014 About midway through Parquet Courts’ blistering set at Club Dada last night a trio of youthful looking concertgoers stood at the bar ordering cokes. The band had hit a lull in a song, then drove full bore…
On Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, George Strait will ride away into the sunset as he concludes his long-running touring career. Though he will keep recording and will occasionally play the one-off gig, the days of taking another Strait show for granted appear to be over. Before frat boys…
To say the past year was an eventful one for Parquet Courts and frontman Andrew Savage would be a mammoth understatement. As NPR noted in this First Listen featuring Sunbathing Animal, Parquet Courts went from playing “humble Brooklyn warehouse spaces to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in the span of…
tUnE-yArDs With Sylvan Esso Granada Theater, Dallas Friday, May 30, 2014 Merrill Garbus is a force of nature.

As the first week of June commences, Dallas will be expecting some interesting visitors.

Expect…
365 Entertainment Presents: Migos South Side Music Hall Friday May 30, 2014 By Michelle Ofiwe By the time midnight rolls around, the Migos are officially late to their own party. If it matters to the crowd filling out South Side’s dance floor, such discontent remains imperceptible. Throngs of girls press…
Dolly Parton WinStar Casino, Thackerville, OK Friday, May 30, 2014 Dolly Parton, the country singer and theme park owner once labeled by Barbara Walters as a “country music caricature of her own design,” sashayed onto the stage of WinStar World Casino’s massive 3,500-seat Global Event Center on Friday night sparkling…
This morning, 91.7 FM KXT announced the lineup for the third annual installment of Summer Cut, the local radio station’s summer music festival at Gexa Energy Pavilion. Given the folkie vibe of last year’s bill, which featured the likes of the Avett Brothers and Dawes, the headliners shouldn’t come as…
Die Antwoord House of Blues, Dallas Saturday, May 31, 2014 No music reflects our ever-fragmenting, post-internet cultural condition quite like hip hop. The last ten years have seen the genre in constant flux, splintering and contorting into some of the most bizarre and fascinating shapes music has ever taken. Case…
June is upon us, people. Although its arrival is usually marked by an even higher peak on the heat index (not sure if that’s even possible at this point), it also signifies the onslaught of new summer shows to partake in. Thankfully, June 2014 is already starting out strong with…

Sand blankets a warehouse floor in west Dallas, a space aglow with the fluorescence of artificial tree-life. There’s three bikini-clad women bathed in blood. An audience convulses like spirits locked in exorcism pangs. On the horizon sits the Dallas skyline, shimmering and stoic, like massive sticks of studded jewelry. At…
47 years and 42 albums into her career as a singer-songwriter, Dolly Parton is still being a boss. Her indomitable smile and colorful wardrobe has long since been burned into the psyche of the country, far beyond the fans of country music. In fact, earlier this month, her latest bluegrass-and-gospel-heavy…
The first half of 2014 has been a strong one for beloved acts with strong ties to the North Texas region. The new albums from St. Vincent and the Old 97’s have sent fans and critics looking for new superlatives, and rightfully so. Now we can add Centro-matic to the…
Any discussion of hard-rock, or even glam-metal, from the 1980’s is woefully incomplete without Pennsylvania’s Cinderella receiving a good chunk of chatter. In 1988 Tom Keifer and crew began an impressive run of hitting high on the sales charts and video countdowns. Monster ballads such as “Nobody’s Fool” and “Don’t…
In 2012, Nick Sanborn of Megafaun’s solo act, Made of Oak, opened for indie-folkers Mountain Man. During the show he hit it off with Mountain Man singer Amelia Meath, bonding over a mutual love of pop music. The two kept in touch, and eventually Meath sent Sanborn a Mountain Man…

Fu Manchu Gas Monkey Bar & Grill Wednesday, May 28, 2014 Since I’ve been over here, I’ve been slowly but assuredly collecting bands I liked in the late ’90s, like someone younger might collect baseball cards, or Pokémon, or whatever it is the youth of today enjoy. Bands I would…
