That's A Wrap! Suburbia Music Festival [REVIEW]

Suburbia, day two - it was muy caliente, muy dusty, and muy musical, starting right off with our first set checking out The Unlikely Candidates.

We'rewolves with the good ol' fashion rock with a modern, soulful twist. Plus, I truly appreciate anyone who can run energetically around stage in an all-black ensemble in Texas heat - these guys definitely got the crowd going to start out the day.

The Naked and Famous come to Dallas [REVIEW]

Review & Photos by: Taylor Prater

Walking into American Airlines Center in Dallas before the Imagine Dragons show began was like entering the arena of the Hunger Games. The center is obviously a huge venue with plenty of room for national superstars like Imagine Dragons, but it's hard to really grasp the high volume of fans until you're on the floor in the middle of the crowd.

Do you like bubbles? Do you miss the days of high side ponytails, neon shirts and retro cartoons? If you like Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. too, then Thursday's show at Trees would have been the perfect set for you.

Parallel Play - Take Your Pants Off [REVIEW]

Review by: Taylor Prater and Jaren Lorenz

Firstly, this album is called “Take Your Pants Off,” drawing me in with the carefree, goofy attitude while getting me excited about what I’m in store for.

Starting out the album with “When the Trail is Cold” and its bursting energy instrumentals and wide harmonies, hearing the shouts of “I came into a blueprint,” at the end of the track set the album up stylistically.

#VDay in Dallas w/ Young the Giant

Review + Photos by: Taylor Prater

You didn’t need to bring your boo with you to the Valentine’s Day Young the Giant show to feel the love.

Openers Cayucas started out the feel-good, loving vibes with their upbeat, tribal, easy atmosphere, which was a nice compliment to Young the Giant’s sound.

#DOMA25 Wrap Up [REVIEW]

Review + Photos by: Taylor Prater

And we’re back! Dallas Observer Music Awards Showcase 2013 returned this week and brought with it a ton of bands we all know and love from around the metroplex. I don’t know about you guys, but it seems like it was only yesterday DOMA 2012 was here.
Picking out who to see was particularly tough with certain venues this go around, but I think we seemed to manage well enough. There’s just so much local music love to give.

Fall is a great time for a little quirky, fun-loving folk pop, isn't it? So what better way was there to foster the warm, celebratory start to a new season than by jamming out with Wild Child and Prophets and Outlaws at The Prophet Bar.

Saturday
It was time for a bit of a change in vibe in the lineup as we rounded out the second day of the festival. The 2 p.m. sun was blazing down and it was up to the bands to make up for any drained energy from the sun.
