A We Shot JR Secular Gift-Giving Holiday Celebration

By Michael Chamy
Published: December 14, 2006Hear ye, hear ye. This is where it all comes to a head: the love, hate, passion and snarky anonymous hatred spewed forth on a daily basis on the We Shot JR DFW/Denton music blog. Have you ever been to a party with an anonymous host? Come see how WSJR leader stonedranger pulls this one off. Regardless, he has as usual picked a fine, eclectic lineup of captivatingly primal theatrical art rock (The Great Tyrant), neo-New Wave (Faux Fox), fashion-conscious stoner garage rock (Chief Death Rage) and the DJ culture the blog enthusiastically supports (The KrispeeOnes and DJs Nature, Sober and Select). Cover is $6 with a keg if you're over 21. Talk about can't miss.
