Three Days to Rise || July 20-22, 2007
FRIDAY
Hailey's: The Wrens, Get Him Eat Him
Where the hell is the publicity for this show? The Wrens only play about 15 concerts a year, and the fact that these Jersey dudes keep choosing Denton on an annual basis still blows me away. Make the trek out; the band has finally worked up new material this many years after The Meadowlands, so go listen to it.
House of Tinnitus: Dead Echoes II
Shiny Around the Edges are the marquee local name at this "drone festival." Otherwise, expect a bunch of blitzed-outta-their-minds college kids jacking off to 12 minutes of a sinusoidal wave.
Double Wide: Max Cady, White Drugs
If a place like the Curtain Club was wise, it'd put on bills like this--cross-pollination between the various harder-rock circles around town is good for all.
Zubar: The Party
Just because Quick made a big deal about this DJ troupe doesn't mean they blow. I don't write about dance music much, but I'd be foolish not to recommend these guys to any of the rhythmically inclined among Dd's readership, particularly at this one-year anniversary of their troupe-ism.
SATURDAY
Rose Marine Theater: Jandek
We Shot JR knocked it out of the park today with a very cool angle on this love-it-or-hate-it concert. Check it out.
Sons of Hermann Hall: Bobby Patterson + Shibboleth
This is a recreation of the show I saw a few months ago...the last one was sorely underattended and given little press. This was a pretty wonderful show last time, as Shibboleth is keyed into the kind of full-band soul that Patterson thrives off of, so think about it.
Secret HQ: Golden Bear, Naptime Shake, Creeping Weeds, Saddletramp
Austin's Golden Bear is quite the power-pop outfit, like an Austinized version of Beulah. Good on SHQ for nailing this diverse Saturday night lineup.
Club Dada: The Demigs, Slider Pines, Colin Herring, Deep Snapper
All but Herring on this bill have a very recent CD release...and I still haven't gotten around to reviewing any of them. This is a great bill on an unfortunately crowded evening. If they'd only moved their show to Sunday instead...
Double Wide: Laura Palmer, Sean Kirkpatrick, The Dutch Treats
Again, great bill, crowded night.
WinStar: Quiet Riot, Slaughter, Vince Neil
I kinda wonder what the big acts in Vegas will be in 20 years, when I'm more likely to be the target audience for yuppie shit like Cirque De Soleil and Tony Bennett. Eddie Vedder? Snoop Dogg? Will the Spice Girls wind up with a Streisand-style residency at the MGM? Anyway, this concert will blow, but I know at least 12 of you will contemplate driving up to the Oklahoma border to see it.
SUNDAY
Cavern: Moth Fight, Ghosthustler, Mom, Instruments
I can't believe I missed this. Should be the best Sunday night show the Cavern has held in some time. Will someone please snap some video of Ghosthustler and send it to me? I wanna see if they translate live. Really, I'm begging you. -SM
