Chris Cornell hasn’t fallen off the map like most of his ’90s grunge-rock counterparts — he’s actually done the opposite. His impressive work with Audioslave and recent Soundgarden reunion tours have kept him in the public eye. Hell, even his dud of an album, Scream, couldn’t slow him down. But…

We’ve mentioned the guys (and gal) of Bravo, Max! here in this space before — a couple of times, actually — as the band has grown from just a fledgling group trying to score gigs around town to a one that, just recently, headed all the way out to California…

By day, Will Schutze is an aspiring actor. As such, these days, the East Dallas native calls Los Angeles home — because, hey, that’s where the work is. But, when work is slow, what then for the would-be leading men of that city? Besides barista and table-waiting work, of course.That’s…

Tuesday’s not quite as busy as last night, but there are still a few interesting events to take in this evening…

If there’s one standout thing I recall about seeing Ozzy Osbourne at the American Airlines Center last week, it’s just how many young ‘uns and full-on families filled the venue’s seats that night. Pretty charming stuff, I thought, even if a few folks in the comments section for our review…

Welcome to a Unexpected Influences, where we talk to musicians about the music no one expects them to like. As far as unexpected things go, Ashley Myrick can count her 2010 high on the list. She started the year a back up vocalist for local act The Beaten Sea, but…

There’s a mild controversy buzzing around the Oscar nominations, which were announced this morning, on the old Twitterverse. Christopher Nolan, you see, didn’t get a Best Director nod for his work on Inception, and everyone’s up in arms about it.Honestly, though? From where we stand, the nominations are pretty dead-on…

A solidly packed Monday evening of music awaits those who don’t mind stepping out on a cold winter’s night…..

A while back — can’t remember when, and a quick Google search ain’t revealing where — I remember reading a quote from Old 97’s guitarist Ken Bethea, who coaches youth football in the region, talking about his bandmate Rhett Miller, discussing how he was a surprisingly talented athlete, and saying…

A few months ago, we ran a piece that outlined the music boom happening in Frisco. Loads of bands were traveling to the North Dallas suburb to play at Lochrann’s Irish Pub & Eatery. But, still, we wondered if the city would yield any of its own acts. In a…

There aren’t too many secrets behind the successes of either Best Coast or Wavves, who join forces to take over the Granada Theater in what’s sure to be a busy night at the Greenville Avenue venue. Both mine a warm, lo-fi aesthetic in their slacker, California chic offerings, with the…

In this edition of This Week In Dallas Music History, we look back to the year 2000, when under-aged kids in Dallas bands performed at all ages venues like The Major, Galaxy Club, and The Orbit Room. For suburbanite kids, those venues were the stuff of legend, but for Aaron…

Despite having a terrible name, Moondoggies’ brand of Americana and alt-country is surprisingly good — so good that, last month, the Seattle quartet’s song “What Took So Long” was featured as NPR’s song of the day. While drawing some comparisons to Fleet Foxes, their four-part harmonies actually land them closer…

Music producers, DJs and electronic music purists, Rodrigo Diaz and Oleg Belogorsky have been tag-teaming the local electronic/dance music scene for a few years now with multiple DJ gigs and their own radio show. And while the pair states they enjoy their artistic freedom and, with it, the ability to…
