But I Just Like Music

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 [...]

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’ [...]

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, [...]

Here at But I Just Like Music, we’re big fans of doing things for the moment and living spontaneously. Sometimes, that means doing things we’re not particularly proud of after the fact. But you know, that’s life. Totally punk rock – whatever that means. And today, we’ve got an opportunity for you to win some [...]

One of our favorite bands from the wonderful Elephant Six collective (remember those guys?) will be in town this Friday for a performance at Sons of Hermann Hall. For those unfamiliar with The Olivia Tremor Control – they’re an experimental indie rock band – kind of like Apples in Stereo minus the pop sensibilities. And [...]

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 [...]

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. This is her first release since her iPod-famous tune “1-2-3-4″ after her 2007 album “The Reminder,” and after a “break” from [...]
