Ghost of Blind Lemon Five-Year Anniversary
Friday, August 24, at Curtain Club, $10
Impressively, The Ghost of Blind Lemon blog, run by local music fan Chris Mueller, has lasted five years. He's celebrating with a sampling of his eclectic taste at Curtain Club and Liquid Lounge. On Friday, August 24, acts like Rahim Quazi, Hormones, Dovetail and others will perform.
RTB2 Record Release
Friday, August 31, at Double Wide
Ryan
Thomas Becker might be the most prolific artist in the metroplex. It's pretty difficult to see any decent band in town without
looking over to find him pulling the strings of a gritty Fender
Jazzmaster. He's somehow found time to make another RTB2 record with drummer
Grady Don Sandlin.
Paper Diamond
Thursday, October 4, at Granada Theater, $20/$23
Electronic
producer Paper Diamond has just been announced to play at the Granada
Theater on Thursday, October 4. The Pretty Lights artist will make good
use of the venue's massive subwoofers.
Bryan Street Tavern's Big F'ing Anniversary Show
Saturday, October 6, at Bryan Street Tavern, Free
Bryan
Street Tavern enlisted the help of Parade of Flesh to book the bands
for the bar's four- year anniversary. Parade of Flesh, in turn, booked a
massive show with Royal Bangs, White Mystery, Turbo Fruits, Rayon Beach
and an unannounced headliner.
The Venables
Friday, October 26, at House of Blues
It's
been only a few months since I reprimanded House of Blues for booking
too many cover bands. Now here I am praising one. It's actually a
Smiths tribute act featuring the Morrissey of Dallas, Josh Venable, who
is also the program director over at The Edge.
Say Anything, Murder By Death, Tallhart, Merriment
Saturday, October 27, at Ridglea Theater, $16.50
Say
Anything's lead singer now lives in Tyler, so this is kind of a local
show, right? His band is big amongst emotive youngsters. It's the third
show announced for the Ridglea Theater, now that it'll be back up and
running soon.
Taking Back Sunday, Bayside
Thursday, November 1, at House of Blues, $25
Taking
Back Sunday has been making music for 10 years, and, even more
impressively, people have actually paid money for it. And it's likely
this show will sell out.
Boys Noize
Thursday, December 20, at House of Blues, $34.75
British
producer Boys Noize made a good name for himself remixing Snoop Dogg, David
Lynch and The Chemical Brothers, amongst many others.
