Concerts

What strikes us most when looking across this week’s concerts is just how many duos we have coming through North Texas.

It was the first night of fall in the corner of Bryan and Scripture, outside Killer’s Tacos in an otherwise quiet neighborhood just north of the University of North Texas’ campus.

After 22 years, Kings of Leon maintains a veil of inscrutability no amount of fame could ever fully pierce. Over the course of two hours and more than two dozen songs Friday night at Dos Equis Pavilion, the last dregs of a surprisingly mild summer ebbing away, it was possible…

Few musicians capture the hidden minutia of life and its emotionally devastating moments of banality in such a comforting manner as Lucy Dacus. The 26-year old singer/songwriter returns to Dallas for a show at Trees on Friday, Sept. 17. We had the opportunity to talk with Dacus from her home…

Lil Baby, who is going by his the nickname The Hero these days, wanted to do something special for Dallas. The day before his show, he notified his followers on Instagram that he’d arrived for The Back Outside Tour, blasting Rae Rae’s “Unconditional Love” in his car.

As the Deep Ellum Arts Festival makes its return to Main Street this weekend, there is plenty of local and national talent to go around.

This Labor Day weekend in North Texas is all about festivals. Marc Anthony’s show at American Airlines Center will open and shows by Between the Buried & Me and Black Magic Flower Power will close the concert week.

Modern-day pop-punk bands have undoubtedly had trouble reaching the level of commercial success that its OG groups – like blink-182, Fall Out Boy and Paramore – enjoyed through the early-to-mid-2000s.

Road tripping music lovers may want to head to Arlington this fall and ramble around some of the city’s music venues.

What a weekend we have planned out for you, dears.

Sentimentality is simply not Steve Earle’s stock-in-trade.

Poppy Xander is currently melting styrofoam with a big wand, while discussing the band Helium Queens’ upcoming science fiction opera.

The internet loves to divide us, sometimes in ways that have nothing to do with politics.

What a weekend the music gods have planned for you; the kind that makes us wish we could be in more places at once (and have an endless supply of cash), especially Friday night when Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Alanis Morissette and Christian Death all play in different parts of North Texas at the exact same time.
