Nicos Gun, The Roomsounds, Morning Teleportation & a Whole Lotta Smoke [Review]

Nicos Gun

Wednesday night brought three very different yet seamlessly connected bands to the LaGrange in Deep Ellum. The last few times I've ventured down the tattooed streets of the once bustling local music scene, a little bit of hope is restored for music in Dallas. The LaGrange is a quaint and hip music spot perfect enough to fill a herd of music lovers into its sophisticated ambiance. It's been serving up local tunes and Tex-Mex for a few years now but to me, I've found a new spot to check out the hungry and talented (musically speaking of course).

Wednesday's event was sponsored by the fabulous peeps at Blackbox Presents and GoodBAMMSho. Opening the night was philly foursome Nicos Gun. Permeating the dark streets with their electro infused beats it made for a grand entrance into the club. The crowd was small but it didn't prevent them from putting on a hell of a good set.

Bowling Green, KY people... who knows what I'm talking about?  Ok, forget I asked. Point being the guys from Morning Teleportation know a thing or seven about said Kentucky Home considering that's where it all began for Travis Goodwin, Tres Cocker (great name!) and Paul Wilkerson who ran into Tiger Merritt by way of Chicago who was attending college in BG.

This group of dudes have been around the country and back, lived in crazy places like Oregon (no idea?) and even played Letterman last year just to give you an idea of how they roll.

Cage the Elephant (another BG band) actually convinced/suggested the guys should take the next step into a pro career as musicians, according to past articles.
