Here’s a weekend round-up of shows fit for tastes ranging from twangy to experimental. There’s an amazing variety of great shows across Texas this weekend, personally, I’d love to be in San Antonio to see Loretta Lynn, but seeing as I just blew my concert bucks for the weekend buying my – excuse me while I hyperventilate for a moment- Bonnie Prince Billy tickets for the Dallas show in June, I’m broke. But, by all means, go out to a show this weekend, show your local music scene a little love, and drink a Shiner Bock – or three – for me, too.
Enjoy and feel free to add your personal recommendations in the comments.

Loretta Lynn is playing Sunday at HoB in Dallas
*Marital Spat Alert*
I know that, darling. But…
A.) you got me those BPB tickets, so our show budget is tanked and it would be cool to take a RT to SA
B.) I don’t like the cavernous, concrete HoB
C.) You need another handle, all these other Josh and Joshuas are getting a little confusing
D.) You could have come back here to tell me that
E.) You wanna go to Ship’s after work and drink beer and play video crack?
that was adorable.
Band of Heathens at Hank’s in McKinney tonight.
Perfect Stranger at the Hangar bar in Greenville Saturday.
RPS, can you tell me more about the Hangar? Never heard of it…
Whoa, take it easy
How about if I use a different handle instead? Josh, I feel your pain bortha’. I just wanted to let Amanda know of one other band that is really phenominal that gets 0 press: IMI
IMI’s Myspace
Also, thanks for all the props and forum bumps and all that. We really appreciate it, and I am personally really glad that we ended up going with you guys. You’re the “real-est”. Also, I love your blog design. Really nice work.
