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), [...]

First stop for our Fun Fun Fun Fest adventure! Dug what I heard from these Austinites on the interwebs, and early into the set they aren’t disappointing. A bit of country and a lot of retro rock and roll. Need to listen to these guys more – quite good. 7/10

If you go to only three shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. It’s the first full weekend of September, and the Fall concert season is starting to heat up. We’ve got a free show, a beer / music combo and what could be a deliciously weird show at Granada Theater. Where are you headed [...]

If you go to only three shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. It’s the very final last weekend in the Summer (ok, that’s a lie – Summer doesn’t actually end till the 22nd, but that’s just a technicality) so if you’ve been meaning to get your Summer concert party on, now’s your chance. And [...]

Sure, everyone goes to Fun Fun Fun Fest for the day shows. And for good reason – the bands that line up to take the day and early evening stages by storm are quite talented and are clearly the biggest draw. However, it’s the Fun Fun Fun Fest Nite shows that really push me towards [...]

Did you know a Myna Bird is a species of bird native to southern and eastern Asia? Neither did I! Have to love the wonders of Google and Wikipedia. No matter where your bird might be from, make sure it winds up in Dallas this Thursday for what’s shaping up to be a good intimate [...]

Thanks to our friends at Tactics Productions, we’ve got some tickets to give away for the upcoming Charlie Brand set at The Prophet Bar. Not quite sure who Charlie Brand is? It’s ok – we won’t fault you. Charlie might be better known as the frontman for the indie pop outfit Miniature Tigers. Miniature Tigers’ [...]

Friday night found us at The Prophet Bar for what I can confidently say was my first soundtrack-based show. The Drive Tour brought together 3 of the bands from Ryan Gosling’s recent epic, yet slightly disturbing, film. College, Anoraak and Electric Youth definitely brought the dance party, even if some of the DJ sets fell flat. [...]

More DJ. Better A/V. Subtle start. Crowd wants to let loose but he’s holding them in. Keeps teasing the one song everyone knows. Audience eats it up. But overall, standard DJ set, but not that good or fun. 4/10
