“Twenty five years ago, the band The End went to the Theatre Gallery to see Zeitgeist (who went on to become The Reivers) and the Deep Ellum music scene was born”
Lots of the good folks who, let’s face it, built and shaped the Deep Ellum music scene, will reconnect with ex coworkers, club goers and Deep Ellum originals on December 4th at The Prophet Bar.
Bands that are confirmed at this writing:
Shallow Reign
Loco Gringos (the Theatre Gallery’s house band)
Decadant Dub Team
David Mabry and Homespun Remedies
The Trees
Cricket Taylor
Graceland
More bands are confirming daily.
This shindig has truly gone full circle, as Russell Hobbs and Jeff Liles are co-hosting…just like the good ol’ days.
Working for KERA/Art&Seek has definitely opened my mind up to more than clubs in Deep Ellum. I’ll admittedly say aloud, that I find myself feeling rather foolish and….well…a li’l igneeeerraaannt about so many things going on that don’t pertain to one single one of my beloved local bands.
I’ve gone absolutely mad over one particular writer (and KERA contributor), Mr. Rawlins Gilliland. Hell, even his name is interesting. I’m seriously so smitten with this man, that I practically tackled him in the parking lot on Friday, just to shake his hand. I was just as giggly and gushy as I’ve been just sitting in front of his writings.
I’m very very much not a reader. Just ask my ex-husband, it drove him crazy that I consistantly chose bad reality shows over a decent read. But Mr. Gilliland has changed all that…well…at least when it comes to anything he pens (or commentates). You simply must read him. (Some links below)
Now I must get my giddy-self back to work so I can continue stalking this lovely and quite delightful man, every chance I get.
