I planned your weekend for you. Pack your sunscreen 5/25-5/28

Friday: Urgh! A Music War Screening. Nervous Curtains and Peopleodian show at Texas Theatre

Texas Theatre is showing "Urgh! A Music War" and Omg you guys this documentary sounds so effing cool. Concert footage from 1980 of a bunch of different bands: Devo, X, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Dead Kennedys, Oingo Boingo. I could keep going those but just look at the IMDB cast list it's cray. Afterwards Nervous Curtains and Peoplodian play who are both great.

The movie includes performances by The Police. Heyy young Sting.

 Saturday: Homegrown Fest

 Hells yea Homegrown is here! Homegrown music festival takes place at this pretty sweet park in downtown Dallas, Main Street Garden Park. It's an all day festival starting at 11:30. The line-up includes some pretty big names like Hayes Carll, Octopus Project, Centro-matic and Ben Kweller. Two bands I like a lot that are playing are Ume and Girl in a Coma probably mainly because they are girl fronted groups. By the time you read this tickets will be 25 dollars, but 15 bands are playing so that's like $1.67 per band.

Saturday Night: After Homegrown show at La Grange with Burning Hotels and a Mystery Guest oooooh 

After the show it's the after party (can I get a toot toot). If 9 hours of rocking and day drinking hasn't left you a sunburned, dehydrated mess ( I said pack your sunscreen didn't I ) you should head to La Grange to see Burning Hotels because, as I've said a zillion times, they are awesome. Plus this whole mystery guest business is intriguing.  Only 8 bucks if you have a homegrown wristband.

Sunday: Float: DFW Concert Series at Lake Lewisville

This time you can bring the whole fam (well actually you can bring the whole fam to homegrown too but here they will have more stuff to do) out to the lake to swim and stuff and see some pretty sweet bands: The O's, Grant Jones and the Pistol Grip Lassos, Michael Donner and the Southern Renaissance, Wayne Hancock, James Macmurtry, and Ray Wylie Hubbard. This is the first of the series. There will also be shows 4th of July weekend and Labor Day weekend. I'm excited to see what else is in store.

Again! Bring  Sunscreen! Also, don't put your kid in a tanning bed.

Monday:Penguin Prison, Class Actress, and Datahowler at Club Dada

Ok I don't know anything about Penguin Prison but Class Actress was pretty rad at 35 Denton and Datahowler is one my favoritedudes so this should be a pretty fun show. Plus it's on Monday so what else are doing? TV's all reruns right now anyway.
