Not entirely sure why so many of the people in these shots look like they’re trying out moves they picked up in last week’s karate class, but here you go.Folks belting it at the mic, self-consciously flipping a bird at the camera and announcing to the entire club that, yes,…
Looks like it was Broken Social Scene founder Kevin Drew who was so ill last Friday that the Canadian indie-baroque-pop act was forced to cancel its show at the House of Blues. In fact, it seems Drew was so sick with the flu that he was deemed “illegal”–or too sick…
Since a certain DC9 contributor may or may not be obsessed with Kelly Clarkson, we’ve been updating you quite furiously over the Burleson native’s doings in recent weeks. As such, I guess we might as well share the video for her newest single, “My Life Would Suck Without You”. Fans…
Friday night saw the blogosphere darlings Tapes ‘n Tapes thrash it out onstage at Club Dada, and our photographers Hal Samples and Drew Williams ran tight photo coverage of the club all night long.Seriously, guy picking your nose three rows from the stage? Yeah, we saw that. Lucky for you,…
Our photographer Mattie Stafford was on hand to catch Los Campesinos! at Club Dada Saturday night, and has photos from the show in our slideshow here.Once you’ve soaked up the atmosphere, if you haven’t read Pete’s review of the show, which opened with Titus Andronicus, you can check that out…
It’s Tapes ‘n Tapes, don’t cha know? First up as we round-up the weekend, these Minnesotans played in front of a rowdy crowd Friday night at Club Dada (read our review here). They rose to popularity a few years ago via the blogosphere, and from the looks of things, perform…
Seems like someone may have explained female anatomy to Dallas’ own Stanky Legg inventors, Them Gspot Boyz, as the group now appears to be going by the far less outrageous name, Them GS Boyz. Alas, that’s not the news here. The news here is that the Boyz still believe there…
Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, February 2, 2009…The line-up for the 2009 Coachella Music and Arts Festival was announced late last week, and Paul McCartney is headlining on Friday night. Wait, really?The Boss may have scored with a great Super Bowl halftime show. But fans of…
Los Campesinos!, Titus AndronicusClub DadaSaturday, January 31, 2009 Better than: Staying home with eager anticipation for this weekend’s fairly bland Super Bowl lineup (Bruce Springsteen’s halftime performance notwithstanding). Download: Photographer Mattie Stafford trolled the grounds of Dada to bring us photos for our slideshow here. Toward the tail end of…
Tapes n’ Tapes, Wild Light, Les AmericainsClub DadaFriday, January 30, 2009 Better Than: Watching Ghostbusters on the big screen at the Inwood? Maybe. Download: We had a couple photographers at this show, so expect a slideshow by Monday. Before the Minnesotan indie-band Tapes ‘n Tapes started its set, and as the group…
So you already know about tonight’s shows, which include Tapes ‘n Tapes at Dada and Nervous Curtains and Dust Congress opening for Daniel Folmer’s CD release at 7 p.m. at Good Records. And Saturday night, Los Campesinos and Titus Andronicus play at Club Dada, Somebody’s Darling celebrates a CD release…
Daniel Folmer and Doug Burr played Denton’s Hydrant Cafe last night, to celebrate the release of Folmer’s new CD, The Roaring Twenties. And they brought along the Burnt Sienna Trio and Glen Farris with them, the latter of whom got the ball rolling around 10 p.m. and deserves some credit…
Earlier this week, we caught up with Ollie, the drummer for Los Campesinos! (pictured, right), to talk for a few minutes about the band’s quick ascent to success, the fact that the band released its first two albums within six months of each other, and even how the differences in…
Been a good six months-plus since we checked in with Eric Landrum, program director of the still-kinda-new HD2 station at 105.3 FM, about how things are going over there at his indie rock radio station, The Indie-Verse. (Full disclosure: We haven’t really listened to it much before this morning, as…
Yesterday we said goodbye to one of the family. Tim “Temo” Watson (aka TMO, T-mo or Timo) was an essential part of the original ragtag gang of art punks and ditch skaters who had staked out mid-’80s Deep Ellum as the blank canvas where many of us would eventually leave…
If you don’t go to tonight’s Tapes ‘N Tapes show, Clell Tickle might sneak into your apartment tomorrow to give you a Columbian necktie. I mean, he probably won’t, but taking that chance is your call…
Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, January 30, 2009… Run-DMC will be the topic of a new biopic from the writer of Notorious. Let’s just hope the acting and storytelling are a little better… Can’t get enough of Dee Snider’s cult classic Strangeland? Well, kids, you’re in luck: A sequel’s…
…per House of Blues’ Web site. We’ll call the HOB offices and Broken Social Scene’s publicists tomorrow to get the details. But, for now, it looks like it’s cooked. So that sucks. Meanwhile, in far less interesting news to anyone except me, my crowded Friday night plans just got a whole…
Les Americains singer/guitarist Robert Lee designed this flyer to promote his band’s show with Tapes ‘n Tapes and Wild Light tomorrow night at Club Dada, a show we have already mentioned here and, not quite as enthusiastically, here. The poster is pretty simple — the band names, club name written…
The eighth annual Ponderosa Stomp show, which aims to showcase the “unsung heroes of American music” and showcases, well, pretty much any type of music you could tie to its locale of New Orleans recently announced its lineup, and it’s worth noting that two area artists found themselves asked to…
Answer: Get a London-based company to make your video as part of a test-run. Because that seems to be how Dallas-based Canadian rapper Freeky T got this video (screen grab above) made for his song “Tipspell (feat. S Davis)”. The London-based company Eye Revolution filmed Freeky T and S Davis…
David Ponder, guitarist for local roots rock up-and-comer Somebody’s Darling, just sent me a couple of MP3s to offer DC-9 readers. “Easy” and “Hearts Too Young” appeared on last year’s eponymous EP and they are both superb examples of alt-country with Amber Farris’ powerhouse vocals (rightly) front and center. Bonus…
