Coldplay, Robyn, Wolf GangJune 22, June 23 at American Airlines CenterIs Coldplay the biggest band in the world? That’s what they were always shooting for. Their latest album, Mylo Xyloto, has only continued their ascent. Its syrupy melodies and sincere lyrics pull in fans by the truckload and make them an easy target for critics.
EL-PThursday, June 21, at Granada TheaterThis, as we’ve mentioned already,
is the headlining act in the DC9 at Night Crawl, which starts at Single
Wide for DJ Heavy Sigh. Next, the party moves to the Granada and then
on to Beauty Bar for DJ Sober.
WaxeaterThursday, June 21, at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal StudiosAudra previewed this show here
by mentioning that one of the band’s songs is titled “Are Those Fucking
Beers Ice Cold Yet?” Clearly written before the advent of blue
mountains.
DJ Wanz DoverThursday, June 21, at The FoundryAs
Deb mentioned the other day, Wanz’s long-running Lost Generation DJ
night at Arcade Bar has come to an end. You can still find him at The
Foundry on Thursdays spinning some badass soul power jams.
Wolf GangThursday, June 21, at The Prophet BarIf
you didn’t score tickets to either of Coldplay’s shows this weekend,
then you’ll have a chance to catch the opening act tonight.
Unfortunately, I’m not talking about Robyn, but British act Wolf Gang,
whose synthy pop might out-fun Coldplay.
The Boom Bang, Fungi GirlsFriday, June 22, at Queen City HallOklahoma
is cranking out some fantastic punk acts as of late. Broncho will be in
town next weekend, but first there’s The Boom Bang, who will be
supported by soon-to-be Fort Worth act Fungi Girls.
ChamillionaireFriday, June 22, at Hat TricksYou’re
gonna have to ride dirty up to Lewisville to see Chamillionaire. The rapper, whose career peaked in 2007 when “Ridin'” was the only song you
could hear anywhere, has been caught up in label trouble since he left
Universal Records last year. Still, that shouldn’t stop this from being
an interesting show in the hip-hop loving city of Lewisville.
Linus Pauling QuartetSaturday, June 23, at La GrangeAudra wrote up this show in the paper this week.
SucreSaturday, June 23, at Anthropologie (Fort Worth)Eisley’s
Stacy King, whose new project Sucre has been developing some buzz, will
be at the Anthropologie in University Park in Fort Worth. The whole
band will be in tow, including her husband, Mutemath’s Darren King.
Bun B
Saturday, June 23, at Beamers
The Houston rapper returns, with Dorrough Music and Young Black.
Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards ShowcasesSunday, June 24, 7th Street Corridor It’s

Street corridor will be hopping with concert-goers as nearly 50 Fort
Worth acts celebrate their Fort Worth-ness. Oh, and it’s free.
Lower Dens
Sunday, June 24, at Dada
Audra previewed this show as well, which brings former Texan Jana Hunter to town with her band Lower Dens. Their new album, Nootropics, improves upon 2010’s Twin-Hand Movement by adding a little Krautrock influence.
