OUR PICKS FOR THIS WEEK
Wednesday, October 14th
YHWH Nailgun, Samba Jean-Baptise
Rubber Gloves, Denton
New York’s YHWH Nailgun make wildly inventive, rhythm-driven experimental rock, combining explosive percussion, distorted guitars, electronics and vocals into something almost impossible to categorize. Their intense, unpredictable live show should be something else inside Rubber Gloves.
Friday, October 16th
Bright Eyes, Lullaby for the Working Class
The Studio at The Bomb Factory, Dallas
Conor Oberst brings Bright Eyes back to Dallas, joined by a reunited Lullaby for the Working Class, the influential Omaha band featuring several longtime Bright Eyes collaborators. Two generations of deeply personal, beautifully arranged indie rock sharing one bill, with Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott pulling double duty.
Friday, October 16th
Bob Moses, Notre Dame
Silo, Dallas
Canadian electronic duo Bob Moses have built a distinctive sound that bridges underground house music, indie rock and genuine songwriting. Their combination of hypnotic grooves, live instrumentation and melodic vocals has made them a favorite of both dance floors and festival crowds. French producer Notre Dame joins them at SILO.
Sunday, October 18th
Deerhoof, Orden Violento, Skratz
Rubber Gloves, Denton
For more than 30 years, Deerhoof have been making some of the most adventurous and gloriously unpredictable music in indie rock. The San Francisco band’s explosive performances, playful experimentation and complete disregard for genre make them a perfect fit for Rubber Gloves. Presented by JAMBALOO booking partner At The Helm.
Monday, October 19th
Peter Bjorn and John, Josh Rouse
Granada Theater, Dallas
Swedish indie-pop favorites Peter Bjorn and John return to Dallas, bringing a catalog that extends well beyond their irresistible 2006 breakthrough, “Young Folks.” Twenty years later, that whistling hook remains one of the most recognizable sounds of the indie-rock era. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Josh Rouse opens.
