And Mark Schectman from The Local Edge with Mark is nominated for Best Local Music Advocate and Best Radio Show.
And the Granada, who was cool enough to let us shoot the trailer at their house (and where we will likely shoot part of the film) was nominated for Best Venue.
Congrats to all our friends and nominees.
Everyone go here to check out the ballot and vote!
.
And one last thing, music awards shows are awesome opportunities to find a new favorite band, either by seeing them live at the show or simply looking down the ballot and checking out new bands you haven’t heard before. There are a lot of insanely talented people on this ballot that I didn’t list because they’re not involved with the movie, but they’re totally worth checking out, so scroll down the list and check out anybody you don’t know. They all have Facebook and MySpace pages with sample music on there. They were nominated for a reason. Go find out why.
And while you’re at it, vote!

Battle of the Best of 2011 Lists
about 8 years ago - No comments
I do my best to get out and see all the local music I can, and even more so to keep my ear to the proverbial train track to hear the newest and best out there in the local scene, but as it turns out, there are people who do a much better job of
Love me some O’s

You Plus Dallas just posted a cool video featuring local favorites, The O’s, fresh off their tour through Europe. Watching these two play off each other, it’s easy to see why I wanted to give them speaking parts in the movie. I think all I’ll have to do is turn on the camera and walk
The Orbans and Calhoun at The Moon
about 9 years ago - No comments
We’ve been very slack around here in posting shows featuring Debut bands, and that’s our bad. The downside to having so many awesome bands involved is keeping up with them – along with everything else we’re doing. But a lineup like this just can’t go unnoticed. The Orbans and Calhoun are two of the best
New band on board – The Burning Hotels!
about 9 years ago - No comments
Okay, this, I’m pretty darn excited about. We’ve got The Burning Hotels! I’ve kept this under wraps for a while, but I got a welcome New Years Eve present when I received word from Chance Morgan, the frontman for the group, that they are, “Completely in.” The Burning Hotels have been garnering national attention over
The O’s and The Blurries at the Doublewide – 1/22

Two bands we love at a venue we love. The awesome-gasm is in effect. Get your tix at Prekindle!
The O’s at the Kessler Theater – 1/8
about 9 years ago - No comments
This is a little late notice, but a show worth seeing on Saturday is the O’s opening for Southbound Lane, Wheeler Sparks, and Luke Wade. And Kessler owner Jeff Liles says if you show up in a classic car or a chopper, you get in for free! Buy your tickets online from Prekindle!
Albums I’m looking forward to in 2011 (and so should you)

UPDATE: Chris from the Ghost of Blind Lemon pointed out some bands that I missed in the comments. Good stuff, he is, as usual, more on top of it than me. . With all the year-end lists circulating about, it got me started thinking about the great local stuff coming our way this year. And
Introducing The O’s
about 9 years ago - No comments
If you live in Dallas/Ft. Worth and have even a toenail dipped into the local music scene, this is likely anything but an introduction. The O’s, made up of John Pedigo and Taylor Young, have touched just about every last noodle in the spaghetti bowl of local music. Not only do they play more often
Salim Nourallah at The Granada – 11/24
about 9 years ago - No comments
I haven’t had a chance to promote Salim’s shows very often on the site, but that’s not because he never plays, it’s because I keep missing it. And that’s totally my bad. Salim’s not only one of the most respected producers in town, he’s also known as a stellar and prolific songwriter. Oh yeah, and
Calhoun and The Orbans at Lola’s in Ft. Worth – 12/4
about 9 years ago - No comments
Two Debut favorites are playing on the same bill on December 4 at Lola’s in Ft. Worth. Last time The Orbans and Calhoun played together it was EPIC! If you missed them at the Kessler, here’s your chance to make up for that. DO IT!
