But I Just Like Music

That’s right. We’re giving away 2 tickets to the sold out Jeff the Brotherhood/the Kills show tonight at the Granada Theater (home of our favorite new haunt, Sundown). How did we make this happen? Magic, my friends, magic. If you haven’t heard about this goodness that is this lineup, check our show preview post. We’re expecting [...]

Alright folks, in the spirit of America’s best cyber shopping holiday of the year, we’ve got a few pairs of Cyber Monday (it sounds so dirty, doesn’t it?) tickets to Sunday’s Rachael Yamagata show at The Loft. Her support includes Mike Voila. Want to go? It’s easy, we promise. Step 1: RSVP to the event [...]

In case you missed it (and, sadly, we did) – Young the Giant played a free show in Dallas last night to celebrate the launch of the new Windows Phone. Luckily, for latecomers like us, there’s another show tonight, and we have 2 pairs of VIP tickets to give away! That’s right – not only do you get [...]

Just got a pretty sweet giveaway for you thanks to our friends Tactics Productions. You know you want to go to Wednesday’s Holy Ghost! show at the Prophet Bar. Nothing like a mid-week dance party to get you over the hump for smooth sailing to the weekend. We’ve got a few pairs of tickets that [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, Feist is back. Just following the release of her new album Metals on October 4th, she’s blessing our fair city with her presence with a show tonight at the Majestic Theater.

There’s something about a band that can incorporate varied instrumentation and do it well. Some of my favorite acts of the last decade do this – Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Okkervil River – each has a sound that’s more then the sum of their parts. Known for their orchestral brand of rock, The Airborne Toxic [...]

There’s something to be said about a British accent – in some weird way, it makes most vocals sound better then they may otherwise be. Maybe it’s because we’re so accustomed to American accents that anything different carries a certain novelty factor. But then again, who are we kidding. Some of the top rock singers [...]

This weekend’s Fort Worth Music Festival is going to be… awesome. Seriously awesome. Two days of great bands and not a rain shower in sight (okay, that second part isn’t surprising.) And if you haven’t taken advantage of the Groupon offers yet, we mayyy have a chance for you to score some free tickets (check [...]
