As we mentioned yesterday, The Antlers are fresh off an interesting collaboration with Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo, which came shortly after the completion of their album Burst Apart. The album, which which features the band’s signature textured layers of guitars and keyboards, has been received with a solid amount of…
Hey, remember back in February when Tim DeLaughter confirmed a whole bunch of rumors to us? Namely, that he was starting a new band, and also that he’d be releasing new Polyphonic Spree material and some solo efforts in the near future? Well, good, because that information is pretty pertinent…
Tonight’s top touring shows put a serious emphasis on all things heavy…
These days, This Will Destroy You have their hands full. With good reason, of course: Today marks the arrival of their newest LP, Tunnel Blanket, an album that finds the band growing even darker and denser and, somehow, even bigger than their epic offerings have showcased to date. Meanwhile, the…
Some cool news coming out of the HomeGrown Music and Art Festival’s pipeline today — and not just the performance schedule, which, you’ll see after the jump, finds the day starting off a little bit country and ending off a lot electronic.The second-year fest, which this year will again take…
Welcome to Local Music ‘Mericans, where we meet some of the people behind the local music scene — those who aren’t necessarily members of local bands, but more the people who make the scene move. When you consider all that Lance Yocom does for local and regional indie music, you…

It looks like Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo enjoyed his collaboration with the Flaming Lips so much that he got together with some other musician folks from his newish neighborhood, Brooklyn’s The Antlers. The result was a super-slow yet powerful version of an Antlers song called “Rolled Together.” Fans of the…
The Deep Ellum mainstay bar July Alley has been around since long before many of its patrons were old enough to drink. But late last week, the State Comptroller of Public Accounts seized the property for failure to pay state taxes. When it will open again, nobody knows, including July…

Man Man, Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers Sons of Hermann Hall May 6, 2011 Better Than: Wearing sunglasses at night. One of the images that comes to mind when I hear the musical chaos known as Man Man, is the clown scene in the Disney movie Dumbo. Live performances…
Wilco, Smith WesternsUNT AuditoriumMay 7, 2011 Better than: The female country singer loudly covering “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at some bar near campus after the show, and many, many other things. I’ve seen Wilco in venues large and small, but I’d never seen them in a jungle before Saturday night…
Editor’s Note: This review was written by Jenny Block Brett Dennen, Dawes Granada Theater May 7, 2011 Better than: Hula hooping in your front yard on the first day of summer vacation, sun in your face, knowing that your mom will call you in for grilled cheese and grape Kool…

Back in March, we shared with you quite the treat — a clip of legendary axe man J. Mascis covering Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians’s “Circle” during an in-store performance in Boston. Since then, the song’s kind of become a standard in the Mascis’ solo sets.Funny thing about these…
With Mother’s Day almost upon us, we can’t help but look back on the days when Mom schlepped us kids around in the station wagon, minivan or what-have-you. While we were in the backseat losing french fries in the seat creases, getting chewing gum stuck to the back of Mom’s…
Fiery-haired Californian Brett Dennen looks like he could be an up-and-coming protégé of Justin Beiber’s — but, at this point in his career, he’s actually rather seasoned veteran. With four studio albums under his belt, including the brand-new Loverboy, Dennen has fully established himself as a troubadour interested in spreading…
