This weekend is a big one for Sore Losers, who are celebrating the release of their new EP, We Are Sore Losers, at Trees on Saturday night. Joining them on the bill is Dallas Cowboy Martellus “I Love Cap N Crunch” Bennett, as well as a host of other local hip-hop acts.
If you’re less than impressed with Marty B’s performance on the field for the last, uh, his entire career, then there are other options.
We mentioned Bad Design’s weekend shows, Fate Lions at the Kessler tonight, Legsweeper at 406 Arts and The O’s at the Kessler tomorrow.
El Cento, Leatherbag, Tony Ferraro and the Satans of Soft RockFriday, February 3, at The GrottoYou gotta hand it to Tony Ferraro: His band-naming abilities have improved vastly since the days of his former band, Eaton Lake Tonics. Not sure yet how his band sounds, but we can speak for El Cento, or as I like to call him, The Cento. His take on ’70s pop-punk is energetic and fun enough to turn The Grotto into El Grotto for just one night.
Eleven Hundred Springs, Sons of Fathers, The Possum PosseFriday, February 3, at Granada TheaterSeems like Eleven Hundred Springs are playing North Texas at least once a month. Hard to blame them. You get the feeling road life is something these guys were meant to do. And since this is their record release show, you can expect to see them a lot more in the near future.
The Gourds, Fish Fry BingoFriday, February 3, at Lola’s SaloonSpeaking of acts that have been on a number of Dallas venue marquees in recent months, The Gourds will be at Lola’s.
Mat KearneyFriday, February 3, at Majestic TheatreMat
Kearney is an acoustic guitar-weilding singer/songwriter whose blend of
hip-hop and pop, and his appeal to both Christian and mainstream
listeners, shows his fanbase as divided as a peeled orange.
Steve AokiFriday, February 3, at Palladium BallroomGuess superstar DJ Steve Aoki is no longer floating in space.
Vinyl FantasyFriday, February 3, at Inwood LoungeFrom the Vinyl Fantasy Facebook invite:
“Hey guys, who’s up for another Vinyl Fantasy? Ok, fair enough, but
who’s up for fulfilling a dying man’s final wish? Yay! I have terminal
somethingsomething-itis, so come watch me (DJ Business Casual/but
secretly DJ Baby Jessica) and my friend Nate (DJ Emptycylinder) go
absolutely crazy on the soon to be smoking/flaming turntables as we turn
your ears into homes for the most greatestest jamz in the history of
TIME.”
Bright Light Social HourSaturday, February 4, at The Prophet BarThis Austin band has been making a number of appearances in town lately.
Mike PintoSunday, February 5, at TreesSome reggae guy. Perfect if you’re jonesing for some Sublime.
…and that’s it from us. We hope you have a great weekend and we’ll see you back here on Monday.
