Lewd Acts | Scumrush | Dark Forces | Trifle Tower (Exploding House)
California's Lewd Acts are a surprisingly harsh and instrumentally impressive new school hardcore scream group that sounds sure to put on the kind of live show that you'd like to see at Exploding House, even if they aren't exactly "your thing." The rest of the line up, all local, follow suit. And props to Dark Forces for one of the most goofily cool logos I've seen in a while (pictured to the right).

Doug Burr | Daniel Folmer | Burntsienna Trio | Glen Farris (Hydrant Cafe, Denton)
Daniel Folmer, the Dallas Observer's favorite indie "songwriter," has a new full length record coming out, as does the widely acclaimed Doug Burr (who received a set of solid reviews from respected publications for his last release), and both will be hosting this joint CD release tonight at a place in Denton I've never heard of. I'm guessing CDs will be available for purchaes if you're into that sort of thing.
