It’s a weekend full of some pretty good shows and some pretty bad ones too. One of the biggest bills is Young The Giant and Grouplove at The Prophet Bar. If you didn’t already get tickets, it’s sold out.
Check the print section for previews of Pinkish Black and Nervous Curtains at Lola’s and Ed Schrader’s Music Beat at Queen City Hall.
The David Mayfield Parade, Wheeler Brothers
Friday, March 23, at Palladium Ballroom
The David Mayfield Parade earned a place in the hearts of Avett Brothers fans while opening for them on a tour last year. The bearded bluegrass/Southern soul singer leads his band in a frequently raucous and hilarious set, which is what fans can expect at this Palladium show tonight.
Casey James
Friday, March 23, at Billy Bob’s Texas
It’s Casey James’ first hometown show after the release of his new self-titled record. I heard the first single, “Let’s Don’t Call It a Night,” on Kathie Lee and Hoda yesterday. (It comes on right before my judge shows). Unfortunately, the segment on makeovers was far more entertaining.
The Klanks
Friday, March 23, at LaGrange
I saw this band
last week. Three dudes, not even 20. The songs were good, but their
energy was fantastic. They played like there were thousands in the
audience. There were 10.
Poo Live Crew
Friday, March 23, at Capital Bar
I can’t read the name of this band without giggling.
Starship, John Parr, Survivor
Friday, March 23, at Allen Event Center
The
members of Starship painstakingly routed their current tour to only
visit cities that could very well have been built on rock and roll,
which is why they’re playing in Allen tonight. Next stop: Sioux City, Iowa.
The Boom Boom Box, Quiet Company
Friday, March 23, at Lola’s Saloon
It’s
a rare chance for Fort Worthians to see one of Dallas’ best acts. The
Boom Boom Box is comprised of a mixed bag of Dallas rock alum, so you know it’s good.
Air Review, The Rocketboys, Low Dark Hills
Saturday, March 24, at Dada
Nothing
new here. Just a really decent local bill for your weekend pleasure.
Air Review has left behind their Brit-pop loving ways for a more focused
folk pop sound, but lengthy headlining sets like this one allow them to
dip into the back catalog.
Paula Cole, Damon K. Clark
Saturday, March 24, at The Kessler Theater
Remember
that song at the beginning of Dawson’s Creek? What’s the over/under on
it getting played? Even if you didn’t like the show much, Paula Cole
has written about seven albums since, and local jazz singer Damon Clark
will open the show.
“Winter Jam”
Sunday, March 25, at American Airlines Center
It’s
a massive Christian music festival featuring Skillet, a dude from
Newsboys and a bunch of other, in all honesty, awful, awful bands. Local
singer Kari Jobe, who has made a big impact in the Christian music
world, will brighten up the bill.
