[REVIEW] BLACKSTONE RANGERS - LIVE


Last week was a great week for local music (as if there’s ever a poor week in DFW), especially for the folks over in Denton who got a lot of love with the recent 35 Denton lineup additions and a jam-packed show at Hailey’s featuring Cutter, Vulgar Fashion, Zhora and headliners Blackstone Rangers.

First up at the Friday night jam fest was electro-punk duo Cutter, kicking off the high energy of the night and drawing in the crowd toward the projector-lit stage.

Alongside the creepy-crawly video loop behind them were ominous growls echoing throughout the bar from both members, channeling punk rock classics while adding a sophisticated layer of electro-synth and raucous drums.

As the venue filled up the boys kept the energy flowing and the feet moving, giving everyone the feeling that the night would be a festive one.

Snarky Puppy Growlin' in Denton tonight...

Just back from their UK round-a-bouts, this Brooklyn music gang by way of Denton, TX (Go Mean Green!) will bring it home to Haileys tonight with a 9pm door time.
Dallas Observer's "Best Jazz Act" for 2008 , 2009 & 2010 lay original feel into traditional music styles that is grabbing critical attention on an international level.
From Manchester to Leeds and now back to Texas you could call this years tour well rounded, same shape of the globe they seem to be trotting, with Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia stops throughout the month of May.

Recently the guys helped out Verve Records artist Lucy Woodward by helping make a music video for her cover of "Be My Husband" (Nina Simone).
Check out their road/tour inspired collaboration for your viewing pleasure...
