Stuff Tonight || March 20, 2007

(Jasun went to the Toadies/Brutal Juice/Saboteur/Baboon show this weekend and was supposed to write about it. Looks like he went to work instead, so here's some info about shows tonight to make up for his utter lapse in judgment.)

Denton: I almost want to recommend Astronautalis' gig at Rubber Gloves tonight, but honestly, the guy performs in North Texas too often lately. Take tonight off, Denton Astro fans. Go see The Naptime Shake instead (Noah Bailey backed by members of Pleasant Grove), who perform at Secret HQ with Matt Bauer, a mighty fine San Francisco multi-instrumentalist who sat in with Alela Diane's band during her many impressive sets this SXSW.

Dallas: Club Dada has a solid New Music Tuesday lineup with locals jetscreamer and Tame...Tame & Quiet leading off what should be a relatively noisy night. TT&Q's new CD is in a long line of discs awaiting Dd review, but anybody reading this that also frequents We Shot JR is the perfect target for the disc's Slint-appreciative angular rock and should buy a copy tonight. Opening is Denton's Handbrake, while stuck in the miserable Tuesday night headlining slot (read: everyone's left by then) is Tel Aviv instrumental post-rock band Lebanon. Uh, welcome to Dallas! -SM
