Rundown: 3/29 to 4/4

Well that was a nice little break, let’s review what we missed.

NX35 was a success to most, SXSW damn near killed us, a new video blog showed up, Dear Human & Spooky Folk dropped their albums,GvsTape Deck is now all labelly, we decided to re-design (under construction), we got flooded by a set of trolls, we met with some people about doing some politically active shows, we met with some people about doing something on record store day, we decided to add a few new ongoing articles to the site, and we decided hinting on these things were better than just announcing them, cause you know “drama”.

It’s good to be back, we’ve missed you….some of you.

Monday

Wednesday

Daniel Francis Doyle / Drug Mountain / Stoned Men / Geistheistler @ 1919 Hemphill

This just may be the show of the week, depending on how awesome you are.

BS Art Fusion w/ The Be Sharps / Kanganomicon / BC Tha Dinosaur @ RGRS

Simpsons referencing band names=at least a chuckle from us.

Thursday

Saboteur/Florene/My Empty Phantom @ Dan’s Silverleaf

I love that such a great show is going on at Dan’s, one of the best venues int he area is really starting to get eclectic with it’s booking, and we can only hope that this is a further signal of things to come.

Odyssey (This Old House) / Circlebirds / Manned Missles / Cactapus @ RGRS

This is the last This Odyssey House show for sometime (I hope not forever), and you couldn’t have asked for a better line-up of bands to join them on stage.

The Coathangers/Giggle Party/Leg Sweeper(The Cavern)

I don’t have to tell you why you should go to this, if you live in Dallas, and have fun you’ll be there.

Friday

not a whole hell of a lot going on.

Saturday

Peelander-Z / Stew! @ RGRS

You either love Peelander-Z or you hate Jesus, no in between.

Luna Mato/Darktown Strutters/Binary Sunrise (City Tavern)

Proof that the best weekend shows are in Dallas for once.

Mount Righteous/Drug Mountain (Good Records)

I haven’t heard the new MR record yet (that press blitz happened when I was off herding cattle), but the Bill Murray approved outfit’s most recent EP is in constant rewind around my house, so I for one will make an effort to catch this in-store.

(We are all under contract to mention Bill Murray at least once when writing about MR.)

Sunday

basketball.
