So the Black Swan’s kind of an awesome Deep Ellum dive located in the old Thin Room spot across from Trees, and, twice a week (every Sunday and Wednesday), the room adds some music to the neighborhood’s already-pretty-full-these-days platter.
The first band the Swan ever hosted? That’s an easy one: The punks and Deep Ellum mainstays in Spector 45. And, courtesy of Rene Coronado, the man behind that killer Ishi live video from Sons that we posted a few weeks back, it was documented for posterity and, no doubt, your viewing pleasure. Like the Ishi one, this one too does a fine job of capturing the flavor of the evening–from barkeep Gabe slinging dranks to Frankie 45’s cigarette flicks.
And the song, called “Try, Try, Try” from the band’s upcoming Break Me is pretty solid, too–perhaps Spector’s most melodic yet. So check it out. If nothing else, it’s a nice representation of a night out on Elm Street these days.
