Three Days To Rise || January 26-28, 2007
This is easily one of the better Friday/Saturday combos for local music as of late. Don't stay home this weekend.
FRIDAY
Secret HQ: We Shot JR showcase
See our rec below in the SHQ post...not to mention our feature in the left-hand column.
Double Wide: Current Leaves / Cartright
Hooray! Two of our favorite Denton acts (and 100 Damned Guns, whom we've yet to see live) try to save us gas by coming to Dallas...on the night we were planning on going to Denton. Bugger. Methinks we might make an early return to the bigger D in time for this one, and if you're short on gas, don't even question it--this is the Dallas place to be tonight.
Ridglea Theater Lounge: Tame...Tame & Quiet / Bridges & Blinking Lights / Handbrake
Fort Worthians aren't gonna get a better post-rock show within driving distance for a while. Though don't go thinking these bands are obtuse, particuarly the shades of Built To Spill that make B&BL sparkle. Should be a darn good time.
Hailey's: The Angelus
Those staying in Denton after SHQ's over will be wise to flock a few blocks away to this Angelus gig, as the most epic-sounding act in the area gigs infrequently enough to make every show a must-see. Like-minded epic-noise-ists The Noise Revival Orchestra Experience opens, and this Austin outfit sounds like they'll put on a helluva show, even if their name is retarded.
SATURDAY
Secret HQ: Tre Orsi / Handbrake
Again, see our rec below in the SHQ post.
Fra House: Baptist Generals / Shiny Around The Edges
Baptist Generals in somebody's living room? Are you kidding us? SAtE haven't gigged much lately, as well, so their rare appearance is caviar icing on top of a dollar bill cake. Granted, both bands are meant for acquired tastes, but you won't acquire them in a more memorable, intimate manner than this. Combine this with the early Tre Orsi gig for Denton music heaven.
The Cavern: Pleasant Grove
Did we receive a bootleg copy of an unreleased PG song this morning? Possibly. Is it awesome? Definitely. Too bad you won't hear that song at the Cavern on Saturday; drummer Jeff Ryan informed us that this is a special show, an experimental audio/visual something-or-other, though even he seemed confused by the concept. Should prove to be memorable; openers include Oklahoma City's incredibly promising quirk-pop outfit Student Film (seriously, listen to their clips) and Dallas' not-quite-as-promising quirk-pop outfit B Minor Harmonic.
SUNDAY
Blue: Ying Yang Twins
We've yet to see a successful Sunday night hip-hop concert in Dallas, but perhaps these two-hit-blunders from Atlanta can pull it off. Our guess? Low turnout will cause a mind-numbing delay. Bring a DS or something to kill time. Or just watch this over and over and stay the fuck home. -SM

It always makes me wonder where all the hits come from, on a particular day when the myspace plays exceed other days.
Fri Jan 26 (Doors open at 9pm; $8)
Dosh
Sole
SkyRyder
By the age of 12, Martin Dosh was already DJing at his junior high school dances in Minneapolis, playing Run DMC, Prince, Devo and New Order to his bemused peers; evidence of a meteoric musical development since Dosh began learning the piano at the age of three. His instinctual feel for music is evident in this virtuoso development, which he cultivated further by heading east to study jazz and percussion at Simon’s Rock College of Bard, Massachusetts. There followed several years of Zappa-esque noodling in his band Como Zoo and a broad education in the ways of avant jazz and freewheeling rock, all cementing Dosh’s love for soulful, hybrid musics and his determination to pursue genuinely new avenues within the fields he was coming to learn.
Having toured with Fog, Dosh eventually signed to Anticon and released his self-titled debut in 2003. A looping collage of shimmering Rhodes organ, bizarrely stuttering yet funky percussion, and spontaneous performance, the album opened new horizons for Dosh, revealing the unexplored possibilities of a musical approach that combined improvisation with the fine-tuning and complex production techniques facilitated by the solo, studio-based ethic. More touring followed, and Dosh developed an approach to live music that showcases his unique composition style in a spontaneous, public setting, making his performances enthralling, one-off events remembered by all who witness them.
With the release of Lost Take in 2006, Dosh has reinvented himself as the full band he’s always wanted to be; his expertly-arranged keyboard and drum loops are shattered and re-spread over the tracks, creating a miniature opus from the mingling of sequenced backing and live improvisation. Throughout Dosh amazes with his ability to trick the human ear, bringing to mind influences as diverse as Broken Social Scene’s spontaneous fuzz symphonies or Squarepusher’s eccentric glitch jazz, and the result is a satisfying, genuinely original exploration of the relation between sequenced and live music.
Tonight at RGRS
Monte Cassino's final show is tonight at the Curtain Club with Hk!
It is such a shame they are breaking up.
It was just too good to be true.
Don't miss this! Seriously.
