The guys at Flashlight Party will be throwing down at Hailey's in Denton tonight starting @ 10. That is all.

1. Burnt Sienna Trio | A Particularly Vicious Rumor (Dan's Silver Leaf)

Burnt Sienna Trio is a group fronted by Justin "JC" Collins, popular local recordist and sound person at Rubber Gloves. The group recently released a record that they made at world famous Electrical Audio in Chicago. Burnt Sienna makes bluesy roots music with a nice contrast of pounding rhythms and intricate banjo parts. JC sometimes plays solo and that might be the case tonight. A Particularly Vicious Rumor is from New Orleans and without getting bogged down by all the musical cliches that accompany that city's history, they are a piano driven duo with dark and dramatic songs. The songs grab your attention with all the shifting tempos, so even when they border on a ballad, it never gets boring. The theatrical singing is also well done.

2. The Party with DJ Nature (Rubber Gloves)

We go on and on about Nature, and with good reason. He's easily the most universally appealing DJ in town, embraced by music snobs of all stripes. DJ's don't have the crutch of novelty, and can't rely on stage shows. The music has to do all the work. In Nature's case, it always works.

3. Capitalist Casualties (J&J's Pizza)

This will be a packed show at the already microscopic J&J's. Capitalist Casualties are Power Violence pioneers who have been putting out records for almost fifteen years. For those not familiar with the Power Violence genre, it is one of the most extreme forms of rock music. J&J's will be filled to capacity tonight and this show is not for the faint of heart. That being said, it will probably be really fun.

Hey everyone. You may have noticed my lack of posts on here as of late (which some of you might think is bad ass and stuff). Well, my job has forced me to spend a good deal of time doing, you know, work, and will continue to take up a lot of my time through the end of this week as well. Defensive Listening has been nice enough to give me a hand with some things around here, and he'll continue to run the show for most of the rest of this week.

Things should be back to normal this weekend, and next week we'll return with some new features, a new contributor, and a few other things that we're going to try in order to expand and improve what this blog is all about. So sit tight ya jerks, because shits about to get good around here.

And in my limited time to look, all I've found going on today is Wanz's Lost Generation night upstairs @ the Cavern. Not sure exactly what he has planned tonight, but I'm sure it will be good as always. Maybe he can tell you more in the comments section.

And if anyone has any suggestions for good shows tonight that I might have missed, fell free to post a comment. Thanks.
