D Nuts || July 25, 2007

So, uh, did Silver City burn down today? No? Okay. Moving on...

We're pretty big fans of the Joe Butcher line of music products around Dallas--UFOFU, Pleasant Grove, his Laptop Deathmatch performances, the shortlived Winter of Our Disco Intent, etc. And it looks like his recent live guest spot with Pleasant Grove and Centro-matic wasn't just a fluke; Butcher sent a bulletin to friends today advertising a few more concert appearances this week, and you can generally trust the Butch to pick his supporting roles well.

Tonight, Butcher joins Keith and Chad of Budapest One at the Barley House for a free 21+ concert at 10 p.m; since the band has been put on hold while Keith and Chad serve their time in The Drams, these B1 shows are rare enough, let alone with the assistance of Butcher on pedal steel. And on Friday, catch him as part of Johnny Lloyd Rollins' band at Sons of Hermann Hall. As far as JLR is concerned, I've said it once and will say it again--the kid's got two amazing Sun-era country-romp songs for his every one cheeseball, crappy tune, and the voice is so good, you might even tolerate the pap.

Of most interest to me, Joe sits in with Son Volt wannabes Southbound Lane on Thursday at the Green Elephant. That's not a slag at all, and truth be told, I wouldn't know this band exists without Joe's plug, so there ya go. Young and imperfect--perhaps the slightest touch too Texas country for my tastes--but still promising. Dan's Silverleaf should book these guys.

Other quality acts tonight: Warren Jackson Hearne headlines at Rubber Gloves; Rose County Fair opens at Club Dada. Find more listings at the DdCal. -SM

thanks for listing the felons show at the Cavern. I have never heard Silk Stocking live and I'm really looking forward to it. I always love Telegraph Canyon and find their lyrics to be really memorable.
