Another awesome indie-folk band coming through Dallas this year is Blind Pilot. The Portland duo released their debut album in 2008 and went on a bicycle tour with their instruments, stopping in over 2 dozen cities along the way. Their single “Go On, Say It” was chosen as the iTunes free single of the week and they have since opened with Aimee Mann, toured with The Decemberists, and will play at this year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL. Go see them live in Dallas on Wednesday, October 28th at The Granada Theater.

Join other Young and Cultured people like yourself on July 17th and welcome Becky Middleton to the Concerts @ Stage. The concert event is free and so are the food and drinks. Come early and stay late.

And/Or Gallery Press Release #23: A final music installation and dance party to celebrate And/Or Gallery’s move to NYC (Fall 2009), The House of Dang’s relocation to a design studio in Oakcliff and their new clothing line to open with Launch, at the Galleria (Fall 2009).

In the gallery during this party, we’re creating a replica of a rave, which you may notice is not dissimilar from shows we’ve put on before except for the volume. Video content will be provided by our artists: Kevin Bewersdorf, Paul Slocum, Guthrie Lonergan, Tom Moody, Marcin Ramocki, Kristin Lucas, Michael Bell-Smith, and Travis Hallenbeck. The music will be a mixture of house and rave-appropriate techno, selected by Paul Slocum. The playlist will include remixes and new material by Tree Wave. It’s the LAST DANCE!

Sarah Jaffe playing at House of Dang on Wednesday June 24th at 8pm. This chick is pretty awesome and has a strong voice that hits high notes and deep emotions. Check her out before the show on DC9 in Space (video below) and NPR’s Song of the Day.

Relax in the courtyard, bring your dog, and BYOB.

YoungNCultured is kicking off their first concert series event at AMLI Quadrangle this Friday, June 19th. This month’s concert series brings in Fort Worth music icons Traveler. The band begins at 8:13pm. Get there early, and stay late.

El Ten Eleven is a two piece instrumental band out of Los Angeles, CA. Bassist and composer Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty have been playing together since 2003 and was a showcase artist at SXSW in 2006.

I first heard El Ten Eleven on the soundtrack of Helvetica, an independent documentary released in 2007. I was hooked on the entire soundtrack for a couple of months.

If you’re looking for a laid back, low key scene this Saturday, I would recommend making your way to Double Wide around 10:30pm and listening to this duo live at 11.

Looking for something free to do this Sunday? Lakewoodstock invites you to shop, eat, drink and learn about greener living. Enjoy live music from local acts on two main stages, plus there will be a singer/songwriter stage on the patio at Whole Foods. The neighborhood festival is from 2-8pm this Sunday, May 17th.

It’s not often I post about music shows in Dallas, and it’s not because Dallas does not have great acts coming through, it’s just that I’m not the source to go to for music. If you are an author of/for one of these sites, thank you for keeping us up-to-date on all the local shows in DFW. There is nothing worse than going to a bands website and finding out they were in town … 2 days ago. And so, 2 bands I’ve been excited about now for a while are coming to Dallas in June.

Local Dallas record stores celebrate Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18th. Good Records will be hosting a FREE day of festivities in celebration of the day and their birthday!
