| Black Tie Dynasty, The Burning Hotels, Telegraph Canyon, Ishi House of Blues | Sat., November 29 | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 The Great Black Tie Dynasty Debate continues to rage through the hallways of the Dallas Observer, echoing over the clack of keyboards and cursing editors. On one side, BTD proponents praise the quartet's sexy, moody oeuvre, while the anti-BTD contingent bad-mouths them as derivative Interpol... More >> |

| Blitzen Trapper, The Parson Red Heads, Evan Way, Delmore Pilcrow Hailey's | Tue., November 25 | Denton | |
 For a buzz band, Blitzen Trapper is extremely modest. Instead of trying to overwhelm listeners with their awesomeness, singer-songwriter Eric Earley and crew create casually adventurous tracks that draw from American music in ways that seem both familiar and fresh.
"Sleepy Time in the Western... More >> |

| Doug Burr, Shiny Around the Edges, Dust Congress Dan's Silverleaf | Fri., November 28 | Denton | |
 Somewhere between the naked beauty of Low and the gut-wrenching intensity of the Swans lies Shiny Around the Edges, a husband and wife duo from Denton that likes its songs wrapped in an ear-bending sheath of finely-combed feedback. If the material off their fine Secrets of the Double Blind CD-R... More >> |

| A Cowboy Christmas with the Light Crust Doughboys Pocket Sandwich Theater | Mon., December 1, 7:30pm | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 Last year, I finally overcame my grudge against The Light Crust Doughboys for kicking Bob Wills out of the band in the 1930s simply because sometimes he drank a little too much and occasionally missed their gigs and live radio broadcasts as a result. It happened one day at a thrift store when I... More >> |

| Dir En Grey Palladium Ballroom | Wed., November 26 | Oak Cliff & South Dallas | |
 Tokyo rock quintet Dir En Grey has been through a number of musical incarnations over its decade-long history, but none of them resemble the kind of Japanese music that typically catches on in the States: the power-J-pop of Puffy AmiYumi, the doom-rock of Boris or the experimental noise-rock of...

| Dan Dockrill, Holy Diver Hailey's | Sat., November 29 | Denton | |
 Lee May, singer/guitarist of local psychedelic rockers Holy Diver, is adamant that his band is not, nor ever will be, a tribute band to Ronnie James Dio. "We all had this ongoing joke about the song and how we didn't know what it meant and how hilarious it was," Lee says. Hilarity would seem to... More >> |

| Bugs Henderson Hank's Texas Grill | Fri., November 28 | Allen/McKinney | |
 Local legend and guitar hero Bugs Henderson has released 14 records over four decades, all of them fairly consistent collections of blues, jazz, swing and funk. Henderson has played with B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent and many others. Whether leading a band or purely providing able... More >> |

| Little Joy, The Dead Trees, Cocky Americans The Lounge on Elm Street | Wed., November 26 | West Dallas | |
 What do you do after your rock band has conquered the musical world and is on a break before producing another album?
If you're The Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti, you get in touch with your Brazilian bloodlines, start a new band with your girlfriend and name it after your favorite pub in Los... More >> |
|||
| The Me-Thinks, Bastardos de Sancho, The Great Tyrant Lola's | Thu., November 27 | Fort Worth | |
 The Great Tyrant can always be counted on for some coffin-dark rock. Vocal effects alternately give Beck voice-of-God depth and the guttural roar of a B-movie demon, and his keys spit forth insane-asylum piano dissonance and horror-movie organ blasts. The synth-bass-drums trio needs no guitars,... More >> |

| Rockin' Shoppin' Eve Town East Mall | Fri., November 28, 1:00am | Mesquite/Balch Springs | |
 If Black Friday plans supersede your Thanksgiving plans, then clearly, the economy is not in that much danger, right? The Friday on which retailers go wild and shoppers go manic is the newest national holiday and the best time to get your flat-screen television. Finally, someone was smart... More >> |

| Ed Burleson Love and War in Texas Plano | Every week Wednesday | Plano | |
 Ed Burleson is one of them folks who can't help but be country -- and, more than that, Texas country. You could say it's in his blood, type TX-positive. A sixth-generation Texan, he's the direct descendant and namesake of Gen. Edward Burleson, a commander at the Battle of San Jacinto and the... More >> |

| Cool Out Mondays The Cavern | Every week Monday | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 Chris Penn, who holds such titles as Good Records owner/manager and Polyphonic Spree Robemaster, has one awesome beard. He's also responsible for one of the finest nights of my life. (Wink, wink.) It was October 31, 2005. I was dressed as a born-again Chick-Fil-A cow, Mr. Penn was dressed as... More >> |

| Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art Dallas Museum of Art | Third Friday of every month | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 Makes sense that Starbucks, which serves wake-the-dead coffee, would sponsor a program about the afterlife for the after hours: the Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art series from 6 p.m. to midnight the third Friday of each month. On November 21, weary parents can get wired on triple shots... More >> |

| Ricki Derek The Cavern |
Sat., June 2, 6:00pm more dates/times |
East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 For the past decade, Derek has been Dallas' own Sinatra. With well-cut suits, slicked-back hair and sometimes a drink in hand, the MacArthur High School graduate cuts a striking nostalgic figure complete with a voice that could fit right in with Bobby Darin and Mel Tormé on any... More >> |

| Gospel Brunch House of Blues | Every week Sunday | Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
| Feeling hungry? Go to the House of Blues on Sunday for their Gospel Brunch and have your body and spirit filled up. What does a Yankee boy know about gospel brunches? Well, to be honest, not a heck of a lot. What I do know is that I like good gospel music and delicious Southern food. Besides,... More >> | |||
| King Bucks Adair's |
Sat., July 5 more dates/times |
Downtown & Deep Ellum | |
 If you'd asked two years ago, I would have said that the only reason for a cover band to exist is to make money and watch the crazy shit that goes down at weddings, and that's coming from someone who's been in one. Yeah, I admit it--the Ronnie Dobbs Band could "rock your corporate event" with... More >> |

| The Local Yokel Show The Libertine Bar | Every week Monday | East Dallas & Lakewood | |
 No one's gonna mistake Lower Greenville's The Libertine for a live music venue--DJ nights and Scaraoke aside--but anyone who's ever spent a few minutes in this phenomenal establishment knows two things: a) As Lower Greenville bars go, The Libertine's over-PA playlist is tops, and b) the people...

| The Texas Crossroads Festival Dallas Heritage Village | Every week Saturday, 11:00am-5:00pm | Oak Cliff & South Dallas | |
 I love history, especially Dallas history, but I wouldn't want to live all of it. I'm perfectly fine with my air-conditioned flat in East Dallas and my gas-guzzling, smallish SUV on somewhat smooth cement roads. When I need to revisit our local past, I just head out to a museum, but if I’m... More >> |
