New Sun Club Mix

In case you've missed some of our other posts concerning Sun Club, the Denton based DJ group has started to make a real name for itself in its hometown over the past several weeks. Their Thursday night residency at Rubber Gloves has emerged as an alternative to the long dominant 80's Night with DJ G at Hailey's, gaining steam with healthy sized crowds and a penchant for spinning tracks, both old and new, that most of the younger Denton scenesters probably haven't ever heard before: everything from Cosmic Disco to old school house to minimal, with an emphasis on 4 on the floor rather than academia. We already posted one solid mix from these guys a few weeks ago, and it was good enough to inspire us to post this new one, which comes courtesy of Sun Club's DJ FUR, aka Bryce Isbell. The group will be performing at Rubber Gloves this Thursday as usual, but it will be the last installment of their weekly until April 2nd, so if you want to catch them any time in the next month, its now or never.

Dallas DIY Venue Attempts to Re-Open

Remember the new Dallas DIY spot we told you about several months ago that eventually burned down in a tragic fire? Well, according to Myspace posts from the operators of the venue, they are making a valiant attempt to re-build and re-open the venue in the very near future. Located at 436 Haskell Ave., the crew in charge of running the place is looking for fundraising and construction help, and if you're interested, you can contact the proprietors through their Myspace page, or speak with any of them in person this Saturday at the Bike House BBQ/Party. This could be a big step in the right direction for Dallas, so we hope they're able to pull this off. More details to come...

Tool's Maynard James Keenan To Appear At Whole Foods In Plano

Man, the asshole that always posts stuff about Maynard is going to be happy. I heard about this yesterday, and didn't really believe it until I researched it further, but it appears that the Tool front-man really is going to appear at the Plano grocer to promote the line of wine he co-owns. The event is on March 23rd, where Keenan will apparently be signing bottles of wine. I was privy to some insider-info that the store expects a turnout of around 800, but judging by the taste of the average Dallas rocker, my guess is that it might be more than that. More info on a previous Maynard at Whole Foods event here.
