If you live in Dallas, you're faced with the never-ending dichotomy of glam verses sham, pretty verses gritty. You might walk into a dive bar one minute and see a thirty thousand-dollar millionaire douche trying to pass him/herself off as a Dallas hipster by shear environmental choosing, and then see an authentic peacocking indie bemoaner two bar stools down judging said millionaire before he/...

Dallas might not be Seattle, Atlanta, Boston or Austin, but over the years there have definitely been some great bands come out of the woodwork. If it were not for these venues that gave new bands a chance, and many of those now defunct, they may have never gotten their start.

I lived in Denton for five and a half years. During that time I checked out many places for music and fan fare.

Check out this 2006 Dallas underground hip hop video filmed in the 3D CAT Studios Animation and special FX warehouse where scenes from the latest Chuck Norris made-for-TV movie Trial by Fire was filmed as well as Soujas by Master P (video below).

Do you remember 1995? For all of you knocking on age 30’s door and those a little past the threshold, you can probably relate to this list of bands and albums which were released in the early-to-mid 1990s when you were a teenager. At the beginning of 1995, I turned 14 years-old. It was the end of my eighth grade year and the beginning of my freshman year in high school. Thirteen years later I... Read more

I couldn't get it to embed straight from YouTube, but below is a link showing me playing Under The Milky Way Tonight by The Church.
