Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Despite the cold and wet weather, the fine folks at The Prophet Bar are offering up a crowded and fairly consistent line-up of moppy rockers to hopefully not add to your rainy day blues.
On tonight's bill are Straylight Run, Dangerous Summer, Mansions, Brian Bonz and David Melillo. Former Taking Back Sunday member John Nolan leads Straylight Run and his band has built a solid following around the country with its straight-forward, indie rock. Straylight Run is quite capable of surprising folks--just as they did by covering Dylan's "With God on Our Side" on an early EP.
Any band that takes its name from a Hemingway novel can't be all bad, either, and Dangerous Summer is no exemption. This spry quartet from Maryland channels everyone from U2 to Explosions in the Sky while still coming across appropriately emo.
Add in the more sedate, singer/songwriter sounds of Manisons, Brian Bonz and David Melillo, and you have a bill that not only begins at around 8 p.m., but offers the best variety for the buck.
Especially on this particular Monday evening.
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.
