But I Just Like Music

We’re super psyched about this weekend’s Homegrown Fest, the little fest that could that’s celebrating its 4th year of rocking out in Main Street Garden. As attendees of the original Homegrown Fest, it’s been great to see it grow. This year’s lineup is nothing short of awesome, and with the setup, you don’t have to [...]

The 2013 edition of the Dallas Homegrown Festival has announced its initial lineup, which includes is largest headliner since featuring the likes of Neon Indian, Astronautalis and School of Seven Bells in 2011. This year, Divine Fits, the super group featuring Spoon’s Britt Daniel and Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs) will headline. Larry g(EE), [...]

We here at BIJLM would most definitely actually produce an album, if given a chance and made fully aware of what exactly an executive producer does. Heck, we’d probably actually be in a band, if we had any musical talent. But we don’t. So we have a blog. The O’s, however, have OODLES of musical [...]

Got plans for Saturday night? If you don’t, we’ve got you covered. And if you do? Plenty of time to change ‘em! In its second year, the Gorilla Vs. Bear fest is again invading the confines of Granada Theater on lively Greenville Ave. While the lineup last year was a bit of a mixed bag, [...]

If you go to only three shows this weekend (plus Monday and Thursday), make sure it’s these. This weekend, you’ll find the Deep Ellum Arts festival (100 bands over 3 days), White Denim at Granada Theater and Keep Shelly in Athens at The Prophet Bar. Where are you headed this weekend? White Denim at Granada [...]

Yeah, that headline is a mouthful. A stacked show with awesome local talent, emceed by Friend of the Blog Mark (of pantsless Local Edge fame), made for a pretty darn swell Saturday night at the Granada Theater. If you’re not into local music (and if you’re not, how the heck did you find this blog?!), [...]

Cause a picture is worth 1,000 words (and we already covered all the bands we saw at the 2012 edition of Brofest), here are our 23 best photos from the day long affair. Looking forward to Brofest 2013! The Growlers Titus Andronicus White Mystery Gauntlet Hair And So I Watch You From Afar Hospitality Bass [...]

Now that festival and touring season has officially kicked off (35 Denton, SXSW, Brofest, etc.) I feel like it’s finally getting back to normal around here. Taking a look at the advanced schedule, there are a lot more good shows on the radar then there were even just a few weeks ago. This weekend (Monday [...]

Another band I’ve been wanting to see for awhile. Also up to my 21st 22nd (and probably last) band for this weekend. I feel like a broken record, but this is another great set. Bass Drum of Death are bringing it today. Great garage punk sound. I do wish I could see them at a [...]

What is this? Sounds like instrumental post punk rock. High energy for having no vocals. It’s like Explosions in the Sky if they rocked out more. Also a mix of Battles, !!!, and others. They’re from Ireland. That’s cool. Had no idea what to expect going in, but I dug it. Will check out their [...]
