Hey guys... the weekender is sort of in abbreviated form this week due to some time constraints I'm facing today. Sorry. Lots of shows, just a little commentary. Fear not, however, because we have a couple features ready to post early next week, as well as some other good stuff too. Check this shit out (if we miss anything, just add the show in the comments section. Why didn't you think of that?)
FRIDAYFight Bite | Glass Gown | Chirp Chirp (Fra House)
A big weekender for Fight Bite as they play the first of two CD release shows in the area after a week of hugs and kisses from the national online press. It's nice to see that Fra House is still hosting a show every now and then too... I don't remember the exact address of Fra House (maybe someone can add it in a comment), but I do know that its on Oak St. in Denton, a couple blocks past the light at Jagoe. Ja know?
The Party (Zubar)Death to False Rock II: The Steely Dan Years (Rubber Gloves) : Mike Seman of Shiny Around the Edges hosts this special tribute to 70's soft rock that will also double as his birthday party.
The Backsliders | RTB2 | The Make Believers(Dan's Silverleaf)
The clear highlight here is Aaron White's excellent Make Believers
Matthew and the Arrogant Sea | Mom | Telethon (Club Dada)Poison Control Center | The Mathletes | Fishboy | Ryan Anderson (J&Js)
SATURDAYFight Bite | Darktown Strutters | Street Hassle (Chat Room)
Fight Bite's second CD release show with the excellent dark disco of Darktown Strutters and Street Hassle's urgent, messy 60's garage stuff. We really haven't talked much about Street Hassle on here, but I think I've pretty much enjoyed everything I've heard from them recently. Black Lips/King Khan/Mark Sultan fans will dig this stuff for sure.
Apples in Stereo | Poison Control Center | Big Fresh (Sons of Hermann Hall)
Elephant 6 group comes to Dallas, a city that seems like it will ALWAYS be into Elephant 6.
Stay Cool Swag School feat. Young Doc Gooden (Rubber Gloves)
Doc Gooden plays a lot of chopped and screwed stuff, but I'm sure he'll be bringing all kinds of party shit for this, the regular night he hosts.
1 800 Zombie | Naxat | Iayd | Sievert (1919 Hemphill)
Alex Atchley hosts an impressive video game music show. Yes, the phrase "video game music" sounds retarded, so maybe I should call it 8 bit electro or something. Either way, there is some pretty solid and unique stuff here if you're interested. Keller's 1 800 Zombie is certainly worth checking out.
SUNDAY
