1. El Aviador Dro | Hi-Fi Chorus/ S-1 Committee (Rubber Gloves-Denton)
So I'm not usually in the business of recommending bands that I haven't listened to more than once, but I'm gonna forget about that rule for today because the last 15 minutes that I just spent listening to Aviador Dro kicked my ass. Think Devo and Kraftwerk in Spanish... and really fucking good. Go to this show unless you're an idiot. And you can go to their website and download some tracks if you don't believe me.

2. Femme Fatality | Peachcake | Undoing of David Wright | Girls Rise with Heat (Darkside Lounge)
Yes, as a matter of fact I am going to keep posting about every David Wright show that takes place until I somehow am assured that every last one of you have seen what is probably the best live band in DFWd right now. And they're in Dallas tonight, so no excuses about having to drive far and cry cry cry. Femme Fatality are a decent synth dance combo thing that will probably be fun live. Peachcake is sounds pretty cool too.

3. Real Live Tigers (Metrognome Collective- Fort Worth)
Haunting folk, very interesting. And its at Metrognome, which is a good place to hang out anyway.

And yes there is other stuff going on tonight, like Bosque Brown for free at the DMA at 7:30, but the three shows above are where you really should be tonight if you can. Oh, and there is no reason not to stop over at the Slip Inn for some good 80's and 90's hip hop after.

Aviodor Dro kicked my ass! That guy is an amazing performer. It's a shame the show didn't get the promotion it deserved. I guess sometimes the best shows involve 20 - 30 people getting their faces rocked off. GODZILLA!!!!!!

el aviador dro was amazing

thats too bad. Their recorded songs sounded pretty good.

the undoing/femme fatality show ruled. a band was added on at last minute called teenage talking cars, and they kicked major ass as well. peachcake can suck da big one though.

fatals/rat traps/strange boys was pretty rad.

the fatals were pretty insane, 4 french guys playing punk/garage/hardcore(almost)

...the strangeboys now have their friend greg as either a member or constant featured guest... he plays organ on a few songs and then plays maracas and tamborine..... the new stuff sounded pretty cool w/ the organ, but i'm not sure that they need another guy on stage.

anyone catch these shows last night?

Ugh... I missed this... I can't wait for my semester to be over!

M-.

yes, aunt's fucking analog. mat lock em up. yes.

aviador dro blew my fuckin mind.

El Aviador was like the Polysics in Spanish. Heavier on the electro..and I do me heavy. Dance, dance, dance the like a party should. Red vinyl and radioactive themes. Godzilla cover--wee!!! There was a special libation that might have done the trick. You had to be there, but YOU were not. Props to Hi-Fi and S-1 Committee. Thanks for the stuff Mike. I like, I like.

Aunt's FUCKING Analog? Matt Lock a machete where are you?

Shit... what show did that guy play...

I can't remember.

pot: 1
ed: 0

Busted.

edja, I know the show that you speak of, but nah, real live tigers didn't play at that one, I actually haven't heard of the guy, but that J&J's show definitely ruled a whole bunch.

apparently, yella house will have

the strange boys
the fatals
Rat Trap

Ummm... I can't exactly remember what show it was.. I think the Chimeneas were playing... And maybe Aunt's Analog?

urtu might remember. I've got both of his records. I'll make you some copies tonight.

yeah?

what's going on at the yella house?

LET US NOT FORGET THE YELLOW HOUSE TONIGHT!!!!

'tis where i'll be

...though it sounds like there is a lot of great shit going on tonight.

and the DOUBLEWIDE IS BACK!
...were they just teasing us b/c no one was showing up and closing might make people show up for the "grand reopening"

so many damn "grand reopenings" in dallas

It was a last minute booking mixup.

but, we are still open for anyone who wants to play with tigers tonight!

-james

real live tigers sounds great! i really wish i could check this out tonight. ed, when was this? i totally missed out.

I saw Real Live Tigers at J&J's a month or two ago. The guy has a really interesting songwriting approach. I dig it. It's a goddamn shame that the collective couldn't find anyone else to play with him...

The Dallas Museum of Art deal is from 7-9, its FREE and you can walk around and look at art too. They are playing the new elefant record too and there's a cash bar and there's nothing like getting wasted at the museum.

well then, anon...

I hate you and your ASS FACE!
