The much anticipated release of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey’s (JFJO) newest project, the One Day in Brooklyn EP, was released today all over the country and has already been met with rave reviews. To highlight the release of this newest project, the boys from Tulsa, OK are playing this Thursday night at the Granada Theater (3524 Greenville Ave.) The Kansas City Star calls JFJO “creative and adventurous,” and the NY Times and Village Voice have been all but effusive with their praise of the new EP. Their concerts are part music, part party, part transcendent experience, and if their last trip to Dallas is any indication, this Thursday is sure to be an amazing night.

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.

Wilco will be playing at the Palladium Ballroom on Friday, October 9th!

For the last 2 years I’ve been waiting for Wilco to announce they would be coming to Dallas. Wilco had announced their tour dates back in the Spring of 2009 and Texas was nowhere on the list. So this comes as a huge surprise for all the Texas fans out there when they announced the additional Texas cities to their tour.

Friday, July 21st is another late night summer block party in the Arts District! Celebrate with the DMA, Crow Collection, and Nasher Sculpture Center as they offer a night filled with activities and entertainment. There will be concerts, film showings, lectures, artist demonstrations, open mic poetry readings, film trivia, and soundtrack karaoke. Oh boy. The festivities begin at 6 PM and the party goes until midnight.

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!

“Wilco The Album” Release Party starts at 9pm tonight at Good Records. Watch a screening of the Wilco concert film “Ashes of American Flags” and hang out with other cool Wilco fans in Dallas. Good Records will be giving away signed poster, t-shirts, bandannas, CD’s, and one complete Wilco catalog.
