Four Days To Rise || June 22-25, 2007
(DdCal isn't completely updated as of noon CST. After running errands today, I'll be back to beef it up, unless Jasun is compelled to save me some trouble and add the fucking Coolio / Tone Loc / Color Me Badd concert on Saturday.)
FRIDAY
The Cavern: Sarah Reddington / Tim Seely / Eyes, Wings & Many Other Things
Denton's rising college-tinted popsters SR handle quite a headlining slot; the main opener, Tim Seely, will be better known to 12 of you as the lead singer of Actual Tigers, a band that blew me away lonnnng ago at SXSW '02. Before him is Eyes Wings..., a quartet with members of The Theater Fire and Pegasus Now. Though this might seem like a cop-out description, the band really does sound like a halfway cross between those. And that's fine by me.
Rubber Gloves: Spitfire Tumbleweeds / Silver Arrows / Tame...Tame & Quiet / The Night Game
Not sure if The Silver Arrows are as good as when they left Denton for NYC a year or two ago, but Dentonheads should feel compelled to catch this rare glimpse. Rest of the lineup is made up of usual recommendations. Except for The Night Game.
SATURDAY
Granada Theater: Polyphonic Spree
I'll be honest--I'm not as into their live set as years past, and it's not just the robe change. Something in the original project's grandeur has been lost...but the best moments of a Spree show still outdo 99% of touring bands in America, so hate on, haters.
Lee Harvey's: White Ghost Shivers
The Lee Harvey's outdoor patio is probably the best place to see these Austin vaudevillians...mostly because there's no cover.
SUNDAY
Dallas Arboretum: Trout Fishing in America
...I'm only posting this because my buddy's goofy dad really likes TFiA. Poor guy. Does he like Raffi too, Mike?
Barley House: Glen Reynolds
Free chance to hear material from In Between Days in concert. The Sunday night scene at the Barley is as close as the bar gets to its golden Knox/Henderson days, so at the very least, attend for a good crowd and friendly bartenders.
-- Addition from Jasun --
Fort Worth Weekly Awards Showcase - Free
Venues - 8.0, McDavid Studio (in the Bass Hall), Embargo, Pour House, Flying Saucer
30 bands scattered around downtown Fort Worth. Check out the Weekly for details, but my picks for this thing are Dove Hunter (4pm McDavid Studio), Tame Tame & Quiet (9pm McDavid Studio), 100 Damn Guns (6pm Pour House) and PPT (7pm 8.0).
MONDAY
Hailey's: Battles
I'm crazy-nuts for this band's record. Someone let me know how this show turns out...seeing them in Seattle in a coupl'a weeks.
Rubber Gloves: Jana Hunter / oveo
Considering that crowded shows at Hailey's often result in being unable to see the entire band, this might be one helluvan alternative. Jana had a shitty SXSW showcase, but I'm confident that this'll be a compelling show.
...please reply with other show picks. -SM

Battles are that band that sounds like the Chipmunks fronting Marilyn Manson right? You've got to be fucking kidding me.

I saw Silver Arrows in the city a few times and they have indeed gotten better.
The Battles show was nothing short of amazing.
