Harvey Milk | Yells At Eels | Zanzibar Snails
(Rubber Gloves)
Great lineup featuring the overlooked Harvey Milk, a nineties avant metal group with a sometimes painfully slow approach and sophisticated vocal style that predicted the metal resurgence of the aughts, while also paving the way for future metal acts to get reviewed in cerebral rags like The Wire. Speaking of The Wire, the highly unlikely occurrence of two local bands getting mentioned in the magazine will be cherry-topped tonight with the improv ambient to freakout Zanzibar Snails sharing the stage with the free jazz slash hardcore rhythm of Yells At Eels.

Dallas Observer Music Awards with Lil' Wil, Record Hop, Sarah Jaffe and others (Granada)
We're getting our makeup and slingbacks ready because the night is kind of special like Lowenbrau. It was nice to be nominated, but I'm a little confused. I've always thought the ever inspiring Stonedranger was a wonderful "advocate." It's just that I never thought the advocacy was for anything having to do with music.
