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.

Deep Ellum rocked hard, synth-ed hard and jazzed hard Saturday evening for the long-awaited Dallas Observer Music Awards showcase, giving locals eight-plus hours of quality area music and an easy means of seeing just how widespread the DFW music scene really is.
The whole shindig was put together to give showcase-goers a face-to-face example of the artists nominated in the Dallas Observer Music Awards, a yearly ceremony celebrating the DFW music community.
More than 60 bands were featured Saturday night in venues like Trees, Club Dada, The Prophet Bar, Reno’s and LaGrange, serving up an eclectic mix of local music fans, city characters, up-and-coming musicians and big names alike.
