But I Just Like Music

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 [...]

Because you can’t get any fresher then live, these reviews are written in real time, straight from the show. Enjoy! Packed crowd at Trees tonight for At the Drive In’s second show in 11 years. Show actually sold out in 3 minutes, which I hear is a record for Tactics Productions. Must be a pent [...]

Black Dalhia Murder is playing on the Main St. stage – feel bad for any who have wandered over to the Elm St. side. It’s a much more relaxed vibe here. Bonus points for having the show in the Elm St. room at Phrophet Bar. It’s smaller, more intimate, and the acoustics are better. Always [...]

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 [...]

There’s something to be said about a British accent – in some weird way, it makes most vocals sound better then they may otherwise be. Maybe it’s because we’re so accustomed to American accents that anything different carries a certain novelty factor. But then again, who are we kidding. Some of the top rock singers [...]

Gather ’round the campfire kids, it’s story time! Our hero – let’s call him Blake – a tall, skinny man whose gleaming metal piercings, artfully sculpted facial hair and freakishly long arms struck fear among those around him. Our heroine – let’s call her Allie – a tall, rotund woman whose jet black hair, biting [...]

Warning! Danger Will Robinson! This is not a dr… ok, you’ve got the point. We’ve got an epic giveaway for you today – but the catch is that you’ve gotta be quick. Our friends at Tactics Productions have generously donated several pairs of tickets to two of their upcoming shows this coming Thursday. This musical [...]

Alright folks – consider yourself lucky. We’ve got a delicious bounty of 5 pairs of tickets to tomorrow’s Tim Kasher show at The Loft. Support includes Aficionado and up-and-coming locals SeaLion. This from the event page: Late last fall Tim Kasher went north for the winter after nearly a year of touring in support of [...]

Is it just us, or has there been a serious lack of good shows the last couple weeks? Don’t know about you, but we’re jonesing for our live music fix. Which is why we’re super excited for this Thursday’s double lineup from friends Tactics Productions. And did we mention we’ve got tickets to both shows? [...]

As many of you have heard by now, local wunderkid Kris Youmans launched Tactics Productions, a new independent production company. We’re totally pumped by this, and not just because Kris Youmans is kind of a badass. For years, Youmans has brought awesome acts to some of Dallas’s biggest venues, most recently booking acts at Gilley’s [...]
