Tonight || July 17, 2007

To celebrate today's Rocket Summer album release, local man-boy Bryce Avery leads his Disney Channel-style pop-emo brigade into the Granada Theater tonight. Congrats on the release, Avery, but Do You Feel sounds like a 47-minute long theme song for That's So Raven. Not quite our bag at DdHQ.

We're more into what the Loft at Palladium is serving up tonight--David Vandervelde and Blitzen Trapper. The latter's Wild Mountain Nation is a pretty wild amalgamation of fuzzed-out rock and stoned-to-hell folk, and I'm stoked to live near their hometown of Portland...since you probably don't, Dd reader, enjoy their Tuesday night Dallas stop for only $8. Our Palladium friends insist that parking will be free, FYI.

If hip-hop's your bag, then enjoy the return of SMU's prodigal battle-rapping son, Astronautalis, who shares the Double Wide stage with PPT tonight. OR, if hip-hop's your bag but you can't make it out tonight, then hit Rubber Gloves tomorrow for more Astro goodness. Both shows include Dallas' promising Playdough. -SM

Does anyone else remember The Rocket Summer's debut gig? It was at one of Josh Venable's Adventure Club Anniversary Shows at Trees, and they played directly before Lift To Experience. I distinctly remember the crowd near the front made up of Bryce's high school friends, and the looks on their faces, just complete shock and horror when Lift started their set. Man they fucking ruled that night, and totally cleared the front so I could move up, so awesome.
