Weekender || October 19, 2007
Busy times in Dd land (anyone wanna help us? drop us an email here), but we couldn't resist tossing out some shouts for some great shows this weekend. As always, we pick a few and you can head over to WSJR if you want to know about any DJ sets or house shows around town.
Friday
The Modern in Ft. Worth - St. Vincent, Peter and the Wolf, Doug Burr, TT&Q, MOM, Sober, more...
Another Modern 'til Midnight event, this time curated by the crew from Spune and featuring the strongest line up this series has seen yet. St. Vincent's Annie Clark is back home from a trek across the USA with The National and from what I have heard from friends around the country, her time on the road has served her live show well. Doug Burr is still celebrating the release of his magnificent new album, On Promenade (review coming soon), and outside as the sun has just set should be the perfect backdrop for his set.
Saturday
The Granada - Old 97's, Sorta, The Drams, Salim, Pleasant Grove, more...
All proceeds from this memorial show go to the Carter Albrecht Music Foundation and it should be a truly special night. So many of Carter's friends will be on hand to pay tribute to their (our) lost friend, many playing tunes penned by Albrecht himself. Word buzzing around is that this could be Sorta's last show ever, and if so, I can't imagine a more fitting way to go out.
Sunday
Granada Theater - GoGol Bordello
Anyone who has seen this band live will tell you that you need to see this show.
Hailey's - Qui, Record Hop
We have said a few times that Record Hop are currently making the best music of their career, but the real draw here is Qui. For 12 years, David Yow fronted one of the most influential indie rock bands in North America, the Jesus Lizard, and since their demise in 1999 very little has been seen of him. Early last year he joined LA 2 piece Qui on stage as a special guest and later joined as a full time member. If you are not at this show or The Granada Sunday night, you might as well stop listening to music all together.
