Folkin Beer Jorts Punk Party Nick Cave? The haps 3/28- 4/1

Hey peers. How goes it?

So this week there are a  lot of cool shows and a couple of random events.

All the cool kids in Dallas will be pulling on their favorite jorts to go to Dada for the Whiskey Lion Social Club Birthday party. Soviet and Gallery cat are playing and Central Track founder Pete Freedman is Djing and it's free so hey.

Oh the things you find when you google jorts. Sweet Canadian roller Blades Mr. Fillion

Meanwhile All the cool kids in Fort Worth should probably head to the Wherehouse for a Tim Burton themed party which sounds pretty awesome. Gunga Galunga is playing as usual as well as The Roomsounds.

On Friday Junior Brown plays with rockabillyesque local band the Paychecks at Lola's.

Fast forward to Saturday when every single effing thing this week is going down. No seriously.

You can let your folk flag fly in Deep Ellum at the big Folkin' Festival. Three stages and the Prophet bar host around 30 bands including some of my faves such as Telegraph Canyon, Bravo Max!, Nicholas Altobelli, Beuxregard, Whiskey Folk Ramblers. You get the drift. All those laid back motha effer's. First 100 people to Prophet Bar between 5 and 6 get a free drink so jump on that.

 At Texas Theatre they are screening a documentary about Jay Reatard called "Better than Something"  and then there will be a party afterwards where DJ's are playing punk and garage rock all night. If you just want to see the movie it plays until Monday.

In Fort Worth is the Brewfest on Crockett. Several bands play from 5-10 and different beers vendors are set up for sampling. Music includes Calhoun and The Gourds on two stages as well as several other bands. The music is FREEEE! This ends early enough that you can head out to another local show down the street such as:

•  Skeleton Coast at the Grotto
• The Good Show on the Choice is hosting a show at Lola's with Bravo Zulu, Salim Nourallah, and John Gold. In case you don't know the Good Show is a  radio show on 88.7 from 9- 12 on Saturdays and they play some of the best music around. (Hence the name the Good Show) They also have live talks with local acts quite often so if you don't listen to them you should. This Saturday. Before you decide which of these awesome events to got to.
•  Also Holy Moly is headlining a rockabilly night at the Aardvark. Which is usually not surprising except my buddy Jennytornado will be celebrating her last night as a single gal so if you know Jenny you should go and say congrats, and if you don't and you see a gaggle of gals in Poodle Skirts well find the one named Jenny and tell her congrats.

All the single ladies Now put your hands up

 On Sunday at Nasher Sculpture Center an artist named Nick Cave ( no not that Nick Cave :(. I was excited too) is presenting his works. The name pulled me in but it still sounds interesting. He makes these costumes that as the fibers move make noises adding to the experience. It's not really just a presentation as much asa modern dance show. It starts at 1:30 here are the deets. After looking at video it looks pretty trippy. Like I'm stuck in the Yellow Submarine cartoon kind of trippy if they were from Lousiana instead of Liverpool. So now I have to go.

Here is a video of him talking about the "soundsuits".

And here is a video of one of the shows-eek.

 Ok homies. That's everything for now. As usual follow me on twitter if you don't already and please go like my facebook page. K thanks. Smooches. Knuckles and all that fun stuff.
