Three Days To Rise || July 13-15, 2007
FRIDAY
Granada Theater: Centro-matic, Pleasant Grove, Dove Hunter, Sarah Jaffe
Welcome to Bias County, as I not only trumpet this show as the pick of the night but also invite you to come find me and say hello. I go back to Seattle on Saturday morning, so this is my last Dallas hurrah before returning to hippieville.
Hailey's: Starlight Mints, Robert Gomez
Darkside Lounge: The Feds
Isn't this venue way too tiny for The Feds? Or has their butt-rock popularity been on the serious wane in recent years? Either way, expect this place to have more rockabilly/Friday the 13th garb than even tonight's Ghoultown set at Double Wide. And that, good friends, is sayin' something.
SATURDAY - whooooa Nellie...busy night.
Granada Theater: Roky Erickson performance, screening of You're Gonna Miss Me
Even those of you who are marginal/lacking Roky fans have a good reason to see this, thanks to the screening of Keven McAlester's documentary about the Austin legend right before the concert.
Rubber Gloves: The Undoing of David Wright, Fishboy
The show is billed as a "versus" deal, and while I normally don't trust such gimmicky billings, Fishboy has always proven the kind of band to follow through on its outrageous promises (lest you already forget the costume-filled docu-drama of the Little D release show a few years back). Better still, the band's best album yet, Albatross, has a looming release date, and Eric Michener and company have reason to ride a massive wave of momentum with this disc. Should be a wild show.
Barley House: Slider Pines / The Drams
Fresh off a semi-national tour, The Drams roll back into town to support a CD release show for their country-rock pals in Slider Pines. I don't know if the Pines have sent me this CD or not; the previous one I heard was promising, but ultimately underwhelming. "Nice" was the best word that came to mind. But the Barley crowd is apeshit over these guys, so take that for what it's worth.
Double Wide: Private party
If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone, and you're a huge Centro-matic fan, you might want to try and crash this wedding party. Just sayin'.
Hailey's: Knee Pad
I'm starting to get what Knee Pad's about. Pretty good bruisin' rock that you don't normally hear originate from Denton these days. Not my favorite just yet, but yeah, works in a pinch.
Lakewood Theater: Black Tie Dynasty, The Crash That Took Me, Sparklepussy Barbie
TCTTM gigs about 3 times a year, it seems, so [DARYL] fans who want their Dylan Silvers fix need to hightail it to this one. Plus, rumor has it that the Dallas Observer's music awards nominee list will be unveiled here. Someone report back on if/when Dd lands on the Best Blogs category, please.
SUNDAY
Hailey's: Made Out of Babies, Mouth of the Architect, Hogpig
No high-speed net today, so I can't hear how the other bands sound, but hey, I love Hogpig.
Sons of Hermann Hall: Art Conspiracy Fundraiser
Mom, Voot Cha Index and Handclaps & Harmony perform while artists do stuff. Help a good cause on Sunday night.
Smirnoff: Lone Star 92.5 Fandango
Anyone who attends, please e-mail/post to let me know how people in Dallas react to this bill: Old 97's, Drive By Truckers, The Drams, ZZ Top, etc.

Trying to raise money for our nonprofit filing (it takes $ to raise $) and we'll announce who the beneficiary for our Dec. 2007 event will be. Hint it's a group that provides a lot of arts and music programming for a really underserved area of town.

-sarah j
hope you had a good flight this morning, mr. man. hope to see you soon!
the 8th continent lineup including MARKED MEN has been moved over to the SECRET HEADQUARTERS.
FYI folks!
Oh, and people, don't forget the FANDANGO on Sunday at Smirnoff. I want to know how well this show does in Dallas.
Tonight will be Knee Pad's final show. =(
seeing as comp tickets were being given away for fandago at the roky show, I have a feeling ticket sales were shit.
I'm trying to patiently await the seattle rock lottery review, m'dear!
I had about 200 Fandango tickets to giveaway at Double-Wide Saturday night. So yeah...ticket sales must not have been great...which is crazy because it was a great lineup.
Unfortunately I was too exhausted from Saturday to leave my house yesterday.
the best part of fandango was when a white trash fight broke out on the lawn in the middle of the old 97's set. the other best part was getting tan...there were really too many tattoos, confederate flags, and cigarettes to enjoy anything else, i thought.
The Bottle Rockets provided the best performance (definitely the loudest!). Second best: The Drams. IMO, Brent is always fun to watch/hear, even at a distance. Drive-By Truckers aren't the same without Jason. David Allen Coe fell down, but got back up. That was the highlight of his set, unfortunately. Shooter Jennings? Yaaawwn. Old 97s played too much jangly pop, not enough of their raucous numbers that coulda fired us up (i think that's my standard criticism of all their shows i've seen since Satellite Rides). ZZ Top were the consumate pros and were very entertaining. And yes, there were a lot of "Z's", as expected. My favorite was the old lady in denim and a tube top with no teeth and an eye patch. Yeeehaww! i posted some choice pics here:
