Ultimately, no reason to give up--generic shit like Alligator Dave has filled up venues like Memphis for as long as Dallas has been overrun with preppies and frat boys, and great local bands have always had their share of huge crowds and barren shows alike. The new Club Dada has actually set out to combine the two audiences with a mixed schedule of cover bands and local talents, a relatively noble notion when you think about it, even if it's not the romantic, High Fidelity mission statement us Gator-haters wanna hear. But in the end, great music--the perfect mix of artful and catchy--always prevails. Check out the Granada Theatre on Friday night for Centro-matic, Salim Nourallah and the Baptist Generals' Chris Flemmons if you don't believe me. -Sam Machkovech
