Music

Quite the extra busy start to the week we have here. Gotta be something for just about everyone music wise this particular evening…..

Denton has had more of its share of musicians cut their teeth in North Texas and then leave for greener pastures. A certain few, though, find their way back. This edition of This Week In Dallas Music History focuses on Stumptone mastermind Chris Plavidal, who in 1999, had just moved…

It’s not the strongest weekend we’ve seen here lately, but there are still some worthwhile shows to get out and see. Namely, Eisley, who’ll perform at the Granada Theater along with their kid sister, Christie DuPree, and The Narrative. This will be their first full-on show in town since the…

The first Friday of June marks National Doughnut Day, folks. True story. Our co-workers over at City of Ate even got Homer Simpson to comment on it.Anyway, since we love foodie holidays here at the Observer — especially ones celebrating sweet, deep-fried, ring-shaped balls of dough — we thought it…

We here at DC9 listen to you, dear readers. Your comments and views are near and dear to our black little hearts. And, after our last facial hair post got a ton of responses, we’ve figured out what you want. You want more beards. We’ll, we’re here to give them…

Smile Smile’s Jencey Hirunrusme made the best of the way-too-hot weather at the AT&T Performing Arts Center patio during yesterday evening’s DC9-sponsored free show, as the sun beat down on the keyboardist/vocalist and the rest of her indie-pop outfit.”I’m getting a suntan,” she joked to the crowd watchig her band’s…

The Granada’s pitching a cool concept surrounding their Peter Bjorn & John concert tonight. They’re throwing what they’re calling an “indie crawl,” in which they encourage concert attendees to check out this evening’s “official pre-party” for the PB&J show at Smile Smile’s Patio Sessions performance at ATTPAC (and sponsored by…

Speaking of Maleveller (kind of): Aside from being the cherry atop the clear choice for local bill of the night tonight, the brooding metal quartet’s gig at La Grange tonight comes with a little extra news — namely, the fact that it’s looking like it will be the band’s final…

What a busy musical evening we have on our hands tonight! The only problem? Making a decision on where to go. Anybody got a coin?…

It’s hard not to love Shaq. He’s managed to create a superstar persona out of being a lovable oaf. Oh, and there’s that whole basketball thing. He’s one of the greatest players of all time, if only because of his size. But, yesterday, the Big Diesel finally went and announced…

It looks like Jason Derulo is revving up for the release of a new album. Not only that, but, fun fact: He’s from Miami and looks like a skinny LeBron James. Oh, joy…

Motley Crue aren’t at the top of the hair-metal heap because they play dirty, sleazy rock ‘n’ roll. They’re there because they live dirty, sleazy rock ‘n’ roll. Although their days of snorting elephant tranquilizers are (hopefully) behind them, the Crüe continue to produce material that focuses on themes of…

Being a band in Brooklyn is no easy task. Just ask the members of The Antlers, who over the last few years, have fought to stand out among about 150 or so neighborhood Animal Collective wannabes. Luckily for the band, they don’t have to worry about being lumped in with…

There once was a band called Ishi. In fact, there still is. Just a very different one. The raucous electro-sleaze outfit was dealt a major blow last week when co-vocalist Taylor Rea and guitarist Rob Bastien left the band. After spending the past year helping Ishi emerge as one of…
