Hearsay
Stone Machine Electric Doom LuVa
HearsaySomewhere between the hair-metaldom emanating from joints such as The Rail and Tomcats West and the proto-punk and hardcore from 1919 Hemphill there’s doom. As unhurried but heavy as stoner rock (EPIC RUINS, Jefferson Colby, ...
Rooster Crowes
HearsayFor a couple of weeks now, the Wild Rooster (3204 Camp Bowie Blvd., Cultural District, 817-332-WILD) has been hosting live music –– local and non-local acts –– but I never caught a show there until recently. And I have ...
SXSW Gets an FW Load
HearsayI’m kinda torn. On the one hand, SXSW is nothing but a glorified ACL, a festival starring artists who don’t need the attention from major record labels that South-by brass purport to provide for up-and-comers –– the ann...
New Alan, Doc’s
HearsayThere was a time when I wasn’t all about Fort Worth/817 music, when I just listened to whatever came my way via the radio, TV, a magazine, blog, or friend’s recommendation. I’m much happier now. The quality stuff produced...

Songs of the Year (Kinda)
HearsayThe Dallas Observer’s music blog, DC 9 at Night, recently came up with a great idea, one that I’ll be stealing next year: The alt-weekly is listing the top 50 local songs of the year, a song per day. As of this writing, the...
Outreach, Niosi, Hotels
HearsaySome of Fort Worth’s finest musos have been confirmed for a show benefitting the Fort Worth Music Outreach, an organization that brings music education and instruments to Fort Worth school district students affected by cuts i...
GROdors
HearsayHard to believe, but Green River Ordinance is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Seems like just yesterday, the Fort Worth guys were bright-eyed youngsters in awe of local giants like Flickerstick and John Price. But G...
An EPIC Weekend
HearsayEvery hipster worth his weight in obscure Radiohead songs (and every stoner worth his weight in Sabbath albums) is going –– or should be going –– to Saturday’s show at Lola’s Saloon (2736 W. 6th St., West 7th Street...
