I’ll be keeping it “traditional” today and share another new (like 2 days ago) Christmas inspired track.  Believe it or not, it snows in Texas (especially today).  While I wouldn’t call this a “cold” Christmas tune, Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles have created enough fuzz in “Merry Christmas (Please Don’t Die)” to rival the white gusty haze that’s outside right now.

Crocodiles are the conduit for a 60’s acidelic revival on their newest song “Hollow Hollow Eyes” of which is being released on Art Fag in a four-way split with Dum Dum Girls, Graffiti Island and PENS–each band contributing one fuzzed-out pastry of tunes. Currently Croc’s are on a tour of Oz and New Zealand performing for masses down under. You can pick up the split 7-inch on the Art Fag website.

Next Friday at the Granada Theater (9/25), The Horrors will be on stage bringing some love in the form of extremely loud shoegaze tunes.  Judging by their pictures, they are very engaging with the crowd.  I mean the guy has no trouble singing from the chicken fight position.  Expect some other favs of ours, Crocodiles, to set the stage as openers along with the DFW natives, Burning Hotels.  Nate the Great from Granada has given us two pairs of tickets to give away to our readers!  Send emails to weeklytapedecktix@gmail.com and tell us yr favorite flavor of ice cream to win.  If you don’t win, make sure to buy your tickets from the Granada because they are oh-so-cool about not ravaging you with outrageous convenience fees.
