But I Just Like Music

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 [...]

A quick run-down of some of our favorite photos from Day One of Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin. What a time. We’ll be posting photos, recaps and more over the next few days as we recover from our fest experience. Be sure to check out our Fun Fun Fun Fest Day One Facebook album [...]

I love going to concerts and festivals just as much as the next guy, but I don’t know how much longer I can afford $40 here, $50 there and then the occasional $200 festival pass. It’s just too much, especially for a student. I know a lot of people are in the same boat and [...]

Some people turn to Chicken Soup for the Soul, others post angry Facebook status updates. I’ve found a new way to deal with relationship problems and life… issues – the music of The Submarines. Blake Hazard and John Dragonetti sing with the wisdom of two people who know what it’s like to love, lose and [...]

If I could use only one word to describe The Octopus Project’s performance of their hyped show, Hexadecagon, it would be this – ballsy. In my relatively short life, I have never seen a more sensory immersive live music show. Approaching the levels of performance art, Austin’s The Octopus Project stormed into the South Side [...]

It’s shaping up to be another eventful week for live music in Dallas. This week sees The Octopus Project’s HEXADECAGON at South Side Music Hall, The Dresden Dolls and Stars at The Granada Theater and the Black Angels with Black Mountain at The Kessler Theater. You really can’t go wrong with any of the above [...]

Today’s live track of the day is straight from some much buzzed about indie poppers from Queens, Freelance Whales.

This review pains me to write. As an unabashed Dandy Warhols fan, I had unusually high hopes for a live set that was to be peppered with Dandy Warhols hits from the last fifteen years. But alas, my hopes were dashed in an evening at the Granada Theater that was definitely bittersweet. First – some [...]

On a recent Thursday night, we had a choice – we could hop in for another mosh pit at The Loft, or throw on our skinny jeans and hang out with hipster nation at the Here We Magic & Dr. Dog show. After our experience with Monotonix, we figured some music with more… musicality… was [...]

Ahh Halloween, the time of year when it’s perfectly acceptable (in some times encouraged) to run around in what basically amounts to stylized underwear (not that we’re complaining!)
