Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Because it's OK to kill three birds with one stone...
- Check the above video, posted to Stereogum this morning, of St. Vincent performing her song "The Party" in Basel, Switzerland, with a little help from her European tourmate, Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear. It's an impressive take--for a few reasons, not the least of which is the dedication of the superfan who rushed to the front of the theater just to shoot the clip.
- Alan Palomo seems to be having no trouble maintaining his Pitchfork credibility. The Neon Indian frontman sits down with the tastemaking site today for a chit-chat about all the things he enjoys--among them the aformentioned St. Vincent and another phenomenal Dallas outfit, Darktown Strutters.
- And, lastly, Westlake's own Nick Jonas is in the news today--OK, MTV news, but whatever, he's in there--as his side project, Nick Jonas & The Administration, has been booked to play the CBS-broadcast Grammy nominations concert, alongside the likes of the Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell and Sugarland. Can't say I know too much about the project from the youngest Jonas Brother. But a snippet of the band's first single has leaked, apparently. And thought I haven't seen the names of his new backing players anywhere, I can say pretty confidently that those musicians probably aren't the Bizarro Kids.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
