Tonight || August 15, 2007

Not sure why Pancakes for Mattie Records has yet to send Dd a copy of the new Mom album, but that's okay...we happen to have a copy. We recorded the Denton duo's 30 minute live performance of the album at Good Records this past June, and the resulting 600MB file is too large for us to throw up on YouTube. Sorry about that. If you want to hear the melodic, Books-ian compositions of one of the area's most stunning new acts, you'll have to attend their CD release show tonight at the Granada Theater, which may very well be the best local show the Granada gets all year--and yes, that includes topping last night's Bobby Patterson/Nourallah Alliance brigade. History At Our Disposal, Shiny Around The Edges and Tree Wave are making some of the region's most compelling music right now, so get to the Granada early tonight and have yourself a good time. Voot Cha Index supposedly performs as well, though reports are mixed on that one. Turns out not only are Voot Cha Index performing, but it's their farewell show before the young band parts ways for college and the like.

Sadly, tonight also marks the farewell concert for Denton's Sarah Reddington, who bid their hometown farewell tonight before moving to Portland. New Science Projects, Daniel Folmer and Chris Garver open this bon voyage gig at Rubber Gloves. -SM
