Low is playing Dallas tonight! And we get an interview!!

Slow start to the week of live music in DFW, with the exception of the always amazing Abe Vigoda at The Cavern last night. I hope someone went. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it. I’ve seen Abe Vigoda at least three times, and not only do they put on a fantastic show, they’re also super nice guys. The very promising Seattle art-punk trio Talbot Tagora, who I’ve never seen live, opened the show. Their upcoming album Lessons in the Woods or a City, is out July 21 on Hardly Art. As for the rest of the week…

Thursday, July 9

Low @ The Loft

Minimalist. Slow tempo. Beautiful two-part harmonies. Shut up and listen. And for fuck sake, stop calling them slowcore.

Friday, July 10

Deer Tick @ Hailey’s

Raw. Rootsy. Rock.

Strange Boys / The Coathangers / Bad Sports @ The Lounge on Elm Street

Watch out. The Coathangers girls spit. A lot.

The Paper Chase / Matthew and the Arrogant Sea @ Dan’s Silver Leaf

Two local bands. Denton’s own Matthew and the Arrogant Sea have a new record called Family, Family, Family Meets the Magic Christian out on Nova Posta Vinyl October 28.

Saturday, July 11

Matt & Kim @ House of Blues Dallas (Cambridge Room)

This was supposed to be a free Bacardi show with Major Lazer. Don’t know what happened. Very cool of Matt & Kim that they’re still coming to Dallas. You won’t see two happier people on stage. Such a fun show!
