 Sad Bullets?:


In Deep: This is the last week to hit up the Deep Ellum haunted houses set up by D/E/E/P, aka Deep Ellum Enrichment Project, aka the Project Formerly Known as Save Our Scene. D/E/E/P member Tania Ion, also of local band the Ramonalisas, says the houses are intended to raise awareness of D/E/E/P, which intends to "change the perception that Deep Ellum is an unsafe place to be." The houses are located in the Art Bar of Blind Lemon, Thursday through Saturday and on Halloween. Price is $10, but it's for a good cause, no?

If you found yourself confused at last week's "Lost Generation" show at the Double Wide, you weren't the only ones. The Good Sons, headed up by none other than Dallas' best old-school punk/techno genius/DJ Mwanza Dover, ended up headlining after Austin's White Denim decided to bust through its set immediately after soundchecking, when there were, like, two people there. Maybe they knew that, with Dover screaming his shirtless way through a Scratch Acid/Birthday Party tribute, there'd be no way to top the Sons' performance. They were right.
