Hey, now! It’s a hopping Monday evening of shows gracing our area this evening. Definitely hard to choose amongst these contenders…..

In this week’s paper, Daniel Hopkins caught up with Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes, and discovered that the male half of the Danish duo is, like, totally bummed about not being as close to his partner-in-crime Sharin Foo as he used to be. Sad face.Fortunately, there’s a silver lining…

If there’s a good thing that’s come out of the recent spate of local musician deaths — and, yes, this is a stretch, practically inherently — it’s the positivity that’s come out of Deep Ellum and the music community as a whole, as these groups have joined together to share…

Colin Quinn made a great point on Conan last week. I’m paraphrasing, but it went something like this: For all this talk of stopping bullying and cyber-bullying, America sure is willfully beating up a lot on Rebecca Black.The counter-argument, of course? That poor little Black is the one laughing, and…

Perhaps you recall the folks behind the Homegrown Festival’s attempts at viral video promotion for their inaugural deal last year? Well, no surprise, they’re at it again this year, as you can see in the clip above, which stars festival co-hosts Grant Jones of the festival-performing Grant Jones & The…

It turns out that Tripping Daisy getting dropped from Island Records was the best thing that ever happened to Good Records Recordings. It’s hard to know, though, if Tim DeLaughter knew that back in 1999, when the brand new indie label was launched and Tripping Daisy was on the cusp…

There are lots of shows happening this weekend — and most of them are pretty good, too. But perhaps the most notable happens all day on Saturday, when Sons of Hermann Hall will officially celebrate their 100-year anniversary. Festivities will include performances from Frohsinn Band, Shoot Low Sheriff, and The…

The ChURcH has been Dallas’ go-to spot for all sounds dark for nearly two decades now. And while the DJs, musicians and various performers who call the twice-weekly event at the Lizard Lounge home prefer to keep the sounds of the night decidedly sinister, the overall vibe is simply one…

Americana singer-songwriter Lori McKenna has come a long way since she began singing at open mics all around Boston back in the ’90s. A really long way: For her 2005 effort, Fireflies, Faith Hill even covered four of McKenna’s songs, including the title track. Since then, McKenna has toured with…

At the risk of giving too much attention to a song aimed at bringing me down, I feel compelled to speak on the matter of “Pete Freedman’s A Bitch” once more this morning, simply due to the fact that one enterprising area musician took the time to take me up…

This, I believe, is what you call karma: Earlier this week, photographer Mike Brooks of CommieBike.com was perusing our site and came across a promotion from our marketing department that was offering up a free pair of tickets to legendary guitarist Jeff Beck’s performance on Monday night with the Imelda…

A busy Thursday evening is highlighted by one of the best bands of the decade and a legendary master of psychedelic funk…

Looks like some actual professional design firms want in on the Poster of the Week game here at DC9. Well, O&H Brand Design, welcome to the party. We’re happy to have you…

It’s been a long, funky road for George Clinton, who has been playing with Parliament-Funkadelic and it’s offshoots since the late 1960s. Luckily, though, time hasn’t slowed him down: The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and legend of funk is stopping by Dallas with his band tonight tonight to…

Surely, you know John Pegido and Chad Stockslager, each of whom stands alone as quite the player in the local music scene, the former for his work in The O’s and Boys Named Sue, the latter for his work in The King Bucks and The Drams. But perhaps you’re still…
