Hip to be square
Sorry for the minimal postings this week. With a holiday, article deadline and housesitting away from home, I’ve been distracted. Should be back on track soon.
In the meantime, there are some unique options for going out these next couple o’ days. So get to it.
I’ve yet to check out Lord Byron’s Panoptikon despite his generous invitations. I will, Byron, I promise. Tonight he is hosting Austin electronica band, Hipnautica, their first time in Dallas. This is how they read:
Hipnautica, one of Austin’s most dynamic electronic based bands, a musical chameleon of sorts. Often presenting live electro industrial performances with influences from synth pop, middle eastern rhythms, and powerful operatic vocalizations backed by live bass/guitar in conjunction with all original mezmerizing visualizations and sometimes theatric dancers. Hipnautica was voted as one of Austin top 10 Gothic/Industrial bands by the Austin Chronicle Readers 2006 and has been together about a year. Thier first show in Dallas will be July 5th at Club One and will feature 3 of the core members (Erik, Pixie and Sky) focusing on some of thier strongest material - some of which is featured on MySpace and from Sky..s solo album Mortal Shock which was released early last year. We hope you can join us for our first appearance in Dallas.
‘ll be at House of Blues tonight though for Lez Zeppelin. I figure it’s simple enough to figure they are a band of lesbians that cover Led Zeppelin. Cool.
Metro Retro Bar is closing down with a farewell party July 7. This place is so Austin Powers kitschy with great design but apparently not the business. That’s a shame because it seemed like the best and only option for getting on the dancefloor to those great 70s and 80s hits. I don’t recommend too much in Addison but one night won’t kill you for cheeky fun.
