Not usually much goin' on Monday nights, but tonight presents a couple of new options. Something is in the air! Can you feel it?
-- Looks like the King Bucks are takin' a break from Barley and trying Adair's on for size. They'll be there tonight. 9 p.m. at 2624 Commerce St. No cover. 214-939-9900.
-- Gay bar JR's has been getting in on the local-music action lately. Tonight's bill features Tommy Hernandez and the Sweet Boys and Dan Paul. I'm a big fan of Tommy's 2007 solo CD Mimespeak, but this Sweet Boys thing sounds like it's more electro-dance than piano pop. There's no cover, but you're welcome to buy them sweet boys a drink! 3923 Cedar Springs Road. 214-559-0650.
Got any other ideas? Lesley's on vacay, so I'll try to get better at the nightclub stuff in the next few days.
UPDATE: Oh yeah, I forgot about Tom Waits at the Palladium. Isn't he that dude who wrote all those songs on that awesome Scarlett Johansson CD? ... I kid.
Music fans in Lubbock and Odessa are in for a rare treat next month: A live bill on which Dallas pop act Smile Smile opens for Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters. Smile Smile singer Ryan Hamilton told the MySpacians about the odd pairing on Friday, but I'd heard about it earlier last week from Kirtland Records' Tami Thomsen. She said the label set up the Billy Bob dates to give Hamilton and his bandmates exposure to a new set of fans. And, of course, they'll probably have some strange road stories to tell when they get home.
Just don't accept any vials of blood or get any tattoos, guys, because relationships with Billy Bob have been known to sour. More show details after the jump, in case you're a roadtripper/Astronaut Farmer enthusiast.
