It wasn’t easy coming up with just one shot with which to tease this mid-week Night Moves set. If the photos from last night are any indication, it’s a wild scene down at Skye Bar’s monthly “Erotic Bash” parties, between the body art, the slow-dancing, the grinding up against mirrors…

The love lost between Smile Smile’s Ryan Hamilton and Jencey Hirunrusme ain’t exactly a secret: Hamilton proposed to Hirunrusme, she said yes, and, later, she broke off the engagement. But the break-up, in turn, did something else: It inspired Hamilton and Hirunrusme each to write the most revealing songs they’d…

Founded in the mid-’90s, Goodie Mob is one of Southern hip-hop’s most revered acts. The Atlanta foursome, led by rotund crooner Cee-Lo Green in his pre-Gnarls Barkley days, was so uniquely talented, its oddball behavior was interpreted by many rap pundits as genius. Clearly, Cee-Lo wore that fishnet shirt and…

You could see it in his eyes. Nick Jonas, the youngest of the chart-topping trio of Disney-backed siblings who call Westlake home, had just wrapped up the January 2 live performance debut of his new side project, Nick Jonas & The Administration, and here he was, upstairs in a sectioned-off…

In the last year, The River Mouth has refined its sound to such a degree that even the experimental psychedelic rock outfit’s fans, friends or family would be forgiven for not recognizing the band by sound alone. Leaving the jazzier stuff behind, The River Mouth has moved into a deeper,…

As eventful as 2009 proved for Darktown Strutters’ Kara Howell and Wes Darrin, 2010 looks to be an even more impressive year for the now Oak Cliff-based “satanic-disco” duo that’s been playing shows seemingly every few days for the last few months. For starters, the band is in talks with…

Dallas hip-hop producer and DJ Rob Viktum is known as an impeccably tasteful sampler, a beatmaker who uses snippets of half-forgotten soul songs and boom-bap drumbeats for a sound that hearkens to the ’90s Golden Era of rap and ’70s movie soundtracks. And yet he still manages to sound modern…

Last week, the jovial fellas in Eleven Hundred Springs stopped on by our spot dubbed “El Sibil,” bringing with them tales of the road and promises of good times ahead–most notably at the band’s upcoming February 5 performance at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, where the band will be celebrating…

The Plush basement hosted Baltimore-based Dubstep DJ Joe Nice on Friday night for a bout of heavy bass, accompanied by Dallas’s Dub Commission crew. We’ve got more shots of the scene around the club from our nightlife photo crew here in this slideshow…

Hey, look: The O’s have a little gift for you. And… well… ah, hell, I’ll just let Idol Records’ Erv Karwelis explain it to ya: As the guys gear up to record their next album and head out on their first European tour, they decided to give something back to…

Seems things have been heating up on the east end of Deep Ellum lately, what with Sons of Hermann Hall’s amped-up bookings of late (Hope Sandoval, the four-night run from the Old 97’s, etc.). And that trend only continues as the lodge hosts a fine triple-bill on Friday night featuring…

Quite the progressive metal conglomeration tonight down in Deep Ellum at the Prophet Bar. Headlining the deal? North Carolina’s Between the Buried and Me. And even though any metal band that takes its name from a Counting Crows song is deducted satanic style points, this appealing quintet has been doing…
