But I Just Like Music

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), [...]

It’s no secret that we absolutely, without a doubt, 100% love Freelance Whales. I’d even swear it on the grave of Nickelback’s career (RIP, 2003). After waiting a looooooong time, they’re finally releasing their new album Diluvia on October 9th, which makes me one happy Sissyphis. Even better? Their 2nd show after this epic and [...]

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 [...]

In all seriousness, other then Ryan Gosling being a total badass, one of the best parts of 2011′s Drive had to be the soundtrack. It was dark, moody, full of drama and intrigue, and complemented the film almost perfectly. And if the rising popularity of the bands contained within the soundtrack (College, Electric Youth, Kavinsky, [...]

Live music venues are interesting places. Part bar, part concert hall, it sometimes seems like they’re undergoing a constant identity crisis. This theme carries over to show attendees too – some miss the “music” memo, preferring to just pay attention to the “bar” part. Look, we’re not after some super quiet opera experience. It would [...]

If you go to only three shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. Really there are only two shows you need to know about this weekend, and they both involve the same band. That’s right, M83 is finally in town and they’ll be playing the Granada Theater on Saturday AND Sunday night. Benefits of catching [...]

We’re here at Dallas’ best spot for vinyl for a last minute ‘ninja show’ from Amanda Palmer. And yes, Neil Gaiman is in tow. Just chilling on the astro turfed stage. It’s hard to tell among the rows of vinyl and CD, but I’m guessing there are 100 people here, and more keep trickling in. [...]

If you go to only two shows this weekend, make sure it’s these. Look. There are really only two places you should be this weekend (and unfortunately you have to choose). Doc’s Records in Fort Worth and Good Records in Dallas. It is Record Store Day on Saturday after all! Good Records Record Store Day [...]

This just in from our friends at Good Records: Amanda Palmer is town mixing with the illustrious John Congleton. She decided to take the night off and perform “Live From The Astroturf.” The length of the performance depends upon the audience interaction. Spread the word. This will be one of for the history books. We [...]

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 [...]
