So your friends in Handshakes and Highfives are a little bored –- or maybe they’re really dedicated. Not sure. Either way, they’ve posted a video answering fan questions. Whether you like the band or not, the video is entertaining. — Chelsea Ide P.S. We hear the band will be posting…
PlayRadioPlay! just released Texas yesterday.It’s spring, and you know what that means? It’s recording time in DdFW. Bridges and Blinking Lights Bridges and Blinking Lights will be going into the studio this weekend to record a new song to be featured on a compilation disc benefiting cystic fibrosis research. The…
Missed a lot of email over the past week or so because of SXSW. A lot of it’s some serious junk. But some of it you should definitely know about… Let’s start with some Idol Records news, m’kay? Like, for instance, how you’re definitely gonna wanna check out this trailer…
Rock on, Jack. Rock on. Jack White and the members of his kickass side project, The Raconteurs, made some big industry news last week, making the surprise announcement that they’ve got an album to release, like, right now. The idea behind that move–aside from just getting the music out to…
[So we decided to try our hand at some live recording this weekend at South by Southwest. We did it on the same equipment we tape our interviews on, so the quality ain’t gonna blow you away. But the crowd noise and whatnot do make these taped versions pretty fun…
Curious what Michelle Shocked is sounding like these days? We were, too. Here’s your answer (for your downloading pleasure…): This is track 4 off ToHeavenURide. Enjoy. — Pete Freedman…
Welcome back, Ms. Shocked. We haven’t really heard from soulful Dallas native Michelle Shocked since she released her live disc, ToHeavenURide–a recording from her performance alongside a gospel choir at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival–in September 2007. Well, we just got an update: She’s coming to town on April 24 for…

So, while we were out of town plenty of good bands hit town. You know this, lots of you were here. A few people have told us we missed out by not hitting up the Outlaw Nation show on March 15. Luckily, we came across this video from the concert…

Kid Sister, looking fly and keeping it tight. (Pete Freedman) Saturday night was a freaking marathon, man. Throbbing feet, bleary eyes, sweaty brows. It was painful and pretty gross. Except for the music. That was cool. More specifically, here’s What It Was Like on S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night… Band: Monotonix, the craziest…
A Place to Bury Strangers was L.O.U.D. (Pete Freedman) Saturday saw another slew of impressive day-time shows. I spent most of my afternoon at the Hot Freaks party at Mohawk, then made it to the Convention Center and, finally, found my way over to the Cedar Street Courtyard for the…
This past Friday night was the last night ever for Deep Ellum’s Club One–so that’s another the city can cross off the list. The 18 year-old dance club was a decent venue for, well, dancing, and the event that lasted through to the end was Lord Byron’s Panoptikon which went…
…as in: It’s coming, I swear! Yesterday, when I wasn’t driving and/or sleeping, and I tried to sign onto our server, it wouldn’t work for some reason. And each time, dismayed, I returned to driving and/or sleeping. Now, unfortunately, I’ve got real work to get to this morning — i.e…
Lemmy from Motorhead at SXSW. (Mark C. Austin)It should come as no surprise this weekend we were at SXSW down in Austin. To get a full feel for the annual music fest you can read our national blog or flip through our local coverage of the event, but here are…
“I never thought I’d want a Broken Social Scene poster, but shit. That’s insane.” “Why does the coloring on this one look weird?” “It’s letterpress.” “Oh. … Interesting.” “You spent $100 on a poster? You can get those for free all over the place.” And just about every artist was…
Band: Does It Offend You, Yeah? Where: Emo’s Main Room What It Was Like: A dance party with a few hundred friends. Verdict: Despite the lame name, DIOYY put on a phenomenal show. It was over-the-top fun (the UK band’s frontman actually changed his shirt midway through the set), and…
So, after managing to resist throwing down cash at my visit to Flatstock earlier this week, I went back. Was it worth it? Oh yeah. Below you can see my new pride and joy by Andrew Crawshaw of Broken Press. I also picked up a wonderful piece by Mark McCormick…
The ZZ Top guitarist popped up at Rachel Ray’s SXSW showcase this afternoon. He even took the stage to play a cover of John Lennon’s “Cold Turkey” with the Cringe — Ray’s husband John Cusimano plays guitar and sings in the band. — Chelsea Ide…
A young girl in a tutu trying to convince me to go to some day party: “It’s fun! It’s free!” Two skinny hipster guys, one holding his left eye, walking down Fourth Street in the afternoon: “Look, I said I was sorry.” “Yeah, well, you should. You hit me in…
A taste of his own medicine. (Pete Freedman) Stick to crotch-shots, jackass. You’re not welcome here. — Pete Freedman…
