Dallas Sport and Social Club is sponsoring a happy hour at The Fish, where $5 gets you a ticket for two drinks, and you can eat free sushi appetizers. It's tomorrow from 5 to 7 p.m., and expect to hear about the various team sports available through the club.
The press releases are pilin' up! The latest announces the first release on Nova Posta Vinyl, the new record label started by Eric Pulido of Midlake and Robert Gomez. These guys are both excellent musicians, but their first release will be Denton act Matthew and the Arrogant Sea's Family Family Meets the Magic Christian. The text of the press release is after the jump, if you're into those kinds of things. But you'll most likely be more interested in hearing a new song. So here one be.
Matthew and the Arrogant Sea, "Pretty Purple Top Hat":
This one will make you want to ooooh and aaaaah along, but it doesn't necessarily flex the folk-rock muscle that some of the other tracks on the new album have. That's OK -- there'll be plenty of time leading up to the October release date to explore the other songs. And, of course, you can hear some of them live on Friday at Club Dada, as MATAS takes the stage with Mom and others.
A friend and colleague forwarded me a press release about Denton dream-pop duo Fight Bite earlier this week, noting that it is a little weird when local acts get outside PR companies to contact local media. But, hey, Fight Bite has more than a few people showing interest in its music. It even has people interested in the motives of the people showing interest in its music. Makes your head spin, don't it?
But I bury the lead: Fight Bite's new album, Emerald Eyes, will see a national release in October, but local fans will be able to get copies of it at shows (the band plays Fra House Friday and the Chat Room Saturday) and at local record stores. Here's a sample, so you can decide for yourself whether Fight has any Bite (and I think it does):
