Where There's Smoke, There's Bosque?

So, I haven't been able to get a confirmation from Smoke, but, Bosque Brown's Myspace page says they're playing there tomorrow night. It should start at 10p and also be super great. I've been waiting for them to play in town again, since I missed them a few weeks ago.

So, maybe I'll see you there? 10p. Smoke.

Also, check out some vidies of Mara Lee singing in what looks to be a French cathedral of some sort. I can only assume it French, since all the copy for the website is in French.

Wye Oak Get Remixed And Come To The D

So, first things first--Baltimore's Wye Oak got the remix treatment from Baltimore producer Mickey Free. It's a nice re-imagining of "That I Do," it gives it a bit of a darker electronic element to it. You can find it below.

Also, they are coming to town with Cotton Jones at The Cavern on October 2. Should be a great show... in a small intimate setting.

Spoon x 3

Our friends at Ultra8201 hipped us to Spoon playing on back-to-back-to-back night in Austin in July.  Yep, three straight nights of Spoony goodness at Stubbs.

Totally Missed This One

As you can see, I totally missed this one--Q-TIP IS COMING TO DALLAS!  As you can tell, I'm pretty excited about this one.  Whether you want to call him Abstract, Tip, Leonardo DiCaprio's runnin' buddy or Q-Tip you can undeniably call him musical royalty.  I mean, he and Phife, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers and the rest of their crew were all a huge part of Hip-Hop's "Golden Age."  

I was a huge Tribe Called Quest fan back then, and I still am.  So, mark it down on your calendar, get down there and rock it out.

Fieros Come Home

The Fieros are playing a couple of shows back in their local home town area.  They are playing a show tomorrow night at Hailey's in Denton and then one on Wednesday at 8.0 in Ft. Worth.  I wish I could make either one of these shows, The Fieros are such a great fn band live!  But, tomorrow I will be at the Uh Huh Her show at The Loft.  And, I'm not driving to Ft. Worth to see a show since I have to get up at 6a every morning.  So, that kind of sucks.

Those Crazy Butthole Surfers!

A few weeks ago I told you guys about the totally rad story Jeff Liles recounted about working with Screamin' Jay Hawkins and his days in early Deep Ellum. Well, this week edition of Echoes and Reverberations Jeff tells the story of a Butthole Surfers show he saw at the old Theater Gallery around '86 or '87-ish. Now, I'm going to be honest and let you know I never really got into the Surfers. The only exposure I have ever had to them was the song "Pepper" and Gibby being featured on Fearless Freaks saying a Flaming Lips show is pretty much a Butthole Surfers show. I guess I missed the boat on the greatness of Gibby Haynes.

But, Jeff's story is such a great story about what one guy thinks was the beginning of the Deep Ellum revival. I honestly can't wait until his next story comes out because he seems to have been there, done that when it comes to the Dallas music scene. The Butthole Surfers will be playing the Granada Theater next Wednesday, October 22.

Plus, you should read the article to find out whey this happened:

“After he was done screaming at me until he was blue in the face, Gibby literally went upstairs to the loft space above the dressing room and took a shit on the floor--right in front of the room where the TG lighting guy lived,” Castell says.

Reggie Noble & Johnny Blaze Come To The D

It has definitely been a very Wu-Tang Clan kind of year for The D. First the RZA came to The D and killed it, then GZA, now Method Man (and Redman). Sure, Red isn't part of the Wu, he's more like and adjunct member.

The two infamous stoners are coming to the House of Snooze on November 16 in a show that is sure to kill. I can forgive them for making that stupid How High movie and even forgive the shitty TV show they had. But, they better bring a bangin' show to The D or I'll have had it with them. I know the two are working on a new Black Out album, so, maybe we'll get to hear some new stuff from it as well as classic Black Out cuts and I'm sure solo joints.

Girl In A Coma "Say" Video

I'm pretty amped about Girl In A Coma coming to Dallas.  I'm sure that it will be a great show and a great excuse to go to Sue Ellen's.  So, to get myself, and you, even more pumped check out their vidie for "Say" off of Both Before I'm Gone.  

Fleet Foxes at Lola's

I'm not sure how I let this one slip by me--Fleet Foxes are going to stop at Lola's in Ft. Worth as they make their way to ACL.  The Lola's show is on a Friday, September 26, then their in Austin the next day.

This is another great Spune show.  Those guys get some of the best acts and produce some of the best posters for their shows.  I'd love to know how they do it.

"Touch Me I'm Going To Scream, Pt. 2"

Or, what my wife says to me on a nightly basis. I kid, I kid. But, since MMJ is going to be at the Palladium on Saturday I thought it's a good time to post their newest vidie.

Ghostland Observatory Invade HOB

Uh huh, that's right! One of the best live shows you will ever see is coming back to Dallas. Austin's very own Ghostland Observatory will play the House of Snooze October 11. I expect all you hipsters and SMU girls to be out in full force!

Get your tickets to Partyville here.

Nas in Dallas

Well, well, well! It looks like Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones is going to be coming to the House of Snooze in Dallas. That's right, Nas in Dallas. I would go to this show just hoping he brings Kelis on tour with him. She fine, y'all!

Anyhoo, he's be at the HOB on 8/26 with Talib Kweli, Jay Electronica and DJ Green Lantern.
