Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011 Day 3
FFF is officially wrapped up. What an unbelievably incredible weekend! You can read about yesterday here. The fest, in it’s sixth year, may have reached perfection. It’s got the right size crowds, one of the most diverse line ups, and hasn’t yet sold out to the corporate man yet. As we made the 3 hour [...]
Tour Review: The Naked And Famous, The Chain Gang of 1974, White Arrows
Photos by Caleb Dickerson As a music critic, I take pride in being ahead of the curve when it comes to early adoption. I will let you in on a little secret that I have that most bloggers won’t admit. Sometimes the way that I learn of new bands worth checking out is by keeping [...]
Interview: Battles
“When you see a band you really like, the reason you really like them is because you wish you’d had that idea. And when I saw Battles I thought, “Damn! Why didn’t I think of that?” –Battles fan Brian Eno Battles is comprised of drummer John Stanier of Helmet and Tomahawk, guitarist/keyboardist Ian Williams of [...]
Interview: White Arrows
White Arrows are a 5 piece self-described psycho tropic band from Los Angeles. Ok, that’s kinda a joke, but I’m not kidding about how rad this new band is! You may not have heard of them yet, despite their already having played Sasquatch music festival. They have also toured this year with Cults, White Denim, [...]
Dirty Heads Kick Off Tour In Dallas
No one is objective. So I won’t even try to pretend that I wasn’t biased going into this show to see one of my favorite bands. I’m pretty sure that I have seen Dirty Heads every time they have played in Dallas so far. This was #4 in the past year, if anyone is keeping [...]
Interview: Unknown Mortal Orchestra
***PARENTAL ADVISORY*** The only musical decade better than the 1960′s or 1970′s is without doubt the 1990′s. I can’t tell you how many people I have talked to, or how many times I have heard: “I wish I had been alive then”, or “the best music was from back then”. What is so amazing about [...]
Artist Update: Sublime With Rome, Dirty Heads, and 311
Last weekend, we were lucky enough to catch the Sublime With Rome (SWR) and 311 show, as the Unity Tour 2011 stopped in Dallas. We’ve been covering SWR since last year, including a phone interview with Rome in April before the release of their lastest record, Yours Truly. It’s their first new, original music recorded [...]
Interview with Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October
Written by Benjy Oliver Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to spend a few minutes talking to Blue October lead vocalist Justin Furstenfeld. Furstenfeld was driving to Dallas for the first show of their new tour to promote a new record, Any Man In America. Armed with a new experience, rather than product release, Blue October [...]
Warped Tour kicks off in Dallas, TX (side b)
For 12 years, Music Emissions has been covering live music. Spending most it’s time focusing on indie bands, we’ve never really been the ones to spotlight large tours and festivals. For the first time ever, M.E. visited the Warped Tour on it’s first day in Dallas, TX @ Gexa Energy Pavilion. Both Benjy Oliver and [...]
Interview with Dallas Green of City and Colour
Written by Brian Rutherford There’s a lot of artists out there doing a lot of genres and quite honestly, very little can set them a part from each other in vast technological schemes of the 21st century. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Dallas Green, lead singer of City and Colour and Alexisonfire who [...]
