Tonight -- fresh from the state that gave us the South By Southwest Festival, the Debbie Does Dallas series, the worst president in U.S. history and two of the best moments in Pee Wee's Big Adventure ("The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas!" and "There's no basement in the Alamo!") -- are two bands for your listening pleasure!
Fans of indie rock should head to The Social tonight to see Dallas-based band, The New Frontiers. According to Metromix Orlando, "their debut full-length album The Mending, offer[s] their take on a quieter, more introspective brand of indie rock."
Meh. To me, they sound like every other weepy indie band out there -- acoustic guitars, generic sad singing and slow tempos (even on "upbeat" songs). I think I'm just getting too old and happy with my life to appreciate this kind of music. Plus their name reminds me of an awesome Journey song -- to which they can't even hold a candle.
If you're looking for something with a little more energy, check out punk band Teenage Cool Kids, who hail from Denton, Texas. In true punk rock style, they'll be playing at a venue that I have never heard of: Conway House (1318 S. Conway Road). I can only assume it's a house in the Conway area that is very anti-establishment and anti-neighbors. Should be a fun time! Find out more info about their summer tour on their blog.
