Slick Saturday

Thank you to all the people who wrote us and said they really enjoyed the Sean Kirkpatrick interview. We have more planned, so if you like interviews, please stick around. Since one of us plays piano and is a die-hard piano geek, you'll definitely see more coverage of piano players.

Did anyone catch Sean's show last night or any of the other shows mentioned? If so, please report.

Some Nighttime Activities
Up in Denton at the Secret Headquarters, you can listen to Man Factory and Super Love Attack from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Secret Headquarters is a BYOB venue that will cost you $3 to get into. Man Factory makes it work the price alone.

Speaking of BYOB, Arts Avenue in Expo Park in Dallas plays host to another event. This time it's Summer Soucial with DJs Jason Harris, Mwanza Dover, Marcus Prado, Wild in the Streets Lisa, and DJ G. We see something on this flyer about BBQ at midnight. We love barbeque, so this might be the place to go. The Strange Boys are playing. We still don't like their songs that much, but the barbeque should more than make up for it. Cover cost is $6.

Danielson is playing at Rubber Gloves in Denton. "Did I Step on Your Trumpet?" is a fantastic song, but the rest of the new album is kind of ho-hum. Pilotdrift (yawn) and Bring Back the Guns open. Cost=$10.

The Chemistry Set / Walker Lundee / Rose County Fair / Preston Grey are playing at the Cavern tonight. It's a $6 cover. Rose County Fair appears to show some promise, and we really like what we've heard on their Myspace page. Appparently the Chemistry Set is a big deal to a lot of people. Why? Yes, they have solid, well-worked out songs, but to us, that's just it. The songs are too worked out and lack life. It seems in their goal to be perfect, some of the soul has left their music. It's just all too slick. Slick is not always bad (see Poison), but...oh hell...we don't know where we're going with this at the moment. We'll go see them again and figure it out.

Other shows that look interesting:

Hillbilly Orchestra / Secret Devil Sign / Lowside / Texas Hippie Coalition at Clearview

Ray Wylie Hubbard / Lost Immigrants at the Granada Theater. Oh man, we love us some Ray Wylie Hubbard!

Mimir Chamber Music Festival at the Walsh Center for Performing Arts at TCU in Fort Worth at 7:30 p.m. If you like classical music, this is the place to go to this evening. You won't be disappointed; you'll come away a changed person; and all the other cliche critic lines.
