But I Just Like Music

As a child of the 80s, I have some fond memories of that era. Big hair, interesting clothes choices and some really fun music. Luckily, it looks like the 80s are totally back, thanks to YACHT’s show at Club Dada this past week. Before we get to their stellar set, let’s talk about the openers. [...]

Usually we strive to pick three shows where you can feel good about forking over your hard earned cash. But there isn’t much going on this weekend, so rather then making it a stretch and telling you to see bands like The Temper Trap or Head and the Heart, we’re only telling you to see [...]

Been looking forward to this lineup for awhile. Mostly because of Frankie Rose, but Dive (offshoot of Beach Fossils) is a nice bonus. First up (for me) Lonesome Ghost, straight from good ol’ Dallas, TX. Fair warning, I’m catching the tail end of the set, and while you can tell the band needs a little [...]

Missed the Frankie Rose, Dive and Lonesome Ghost show on Friday night? We have you covered! Step one – check out our live review from the show. Step two – take a look at our favorite photos from Friday night. Almost as good as being there yourself, right? Lonesome Ghost Dive Frankie Rose The Crowd

If you go to only three shows this weekend (plus Thursday and Monday), make sure it’s these. It’s been a busy week for great shows in Dallas. Keep Shelly in Athens played Monday at the Prophet Bar, At the Drive In played Trees, and Real Estate played Club Dada on Tuesday. Tonight, you’ve got the [...]

We caught Mystery Skulls’ performance to open the night at Club Dada’s NYE bash, headlined by Astronautalis. While the crowd was pretty sparse, [...]

Fort Worth’s own post-punk-turned-80s-pop indie rock band The Burning Hotels have been documenting their process on Vimeo — and adding some other stuff, too, like live concert footage — for 60 days leading up to the release of their self-titled album. 60 Days of Burning Hotels – Day #22 from Burning Hotels on Vimeo. Well now [...]

When you get down to it – 4/20 is as much about enjoying the good things in life as much as it is about smoking the reefer. So it would make sense that on a quasi-national holiday people would want to get out and enjoy one of humanity’s favorite pastimes – live music. On a [...]

Two bands enter, one band leave. In the battle of hyped indie talents at Club Dada last night, one clearly walked away the victor while the other languished in this-sounds-better-recorded-then-live hell. But first, local favorites Ishi got the night started with their typical brand of swanky electro dance pop. They rolled through highlights from their [...]
