Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Dallas, I'm Beatmap. You're eccentric navigator through the sprawl
of the city's live music jungle. For me, discovering new
sounds here isn't a hobby. It's a full blown obsession,
the kind that means I'm just as likely to know
the lead singer's coffee order as I am the best
spot to snag last minute tickets. If you want the
real pulse of Dallas's music scene, stick with me. I

(00:20):
know every squeaky stage, every neon lit dive, and the
best balconies for viewing guitar solos with a breeze. First up,
let's talk shows. Tonight The Offspring is bringing their supercharged
worldwide tour to dose Eki's Pavilion, and believe me, you'll
feel the energy before you even step off the dart.
Euphoria Latino Mixed Live is next up on August twenty third.

(00:42):
Expect an explosion of reggaetone, pop and hip hop. Ticket
start around forty dollars and trust me, grab a parking
pass in advance unless you love wandering lots in search
of your car. Next Wednesday, August twenty seventh, Indie Darling's
Men I Trust Roll into the Factory in Deep Elum
that same week. Don't miss Ethel Kane's atmospheric set on

(01:03):
August twenty fourth. Tickets were moving fast the last time
I checked. For my pick of the weak venue recommendation.
Hands down, it's the Factory and Deep Elum, mostly because
they've mastered that giant warehouse party but with perfect sound energy.
Plus their August calendar is stacked after men I Trust

Millsap opening Roots fans Assemble. Want something more intimate, check

right now include Grayson Wynn Catcher at the Citrus Fest
showcase at the Factory on September fourth. Put it on
your radar. She's the next big indie breakthrough. I'm also
keeping eyes on Jason Lyric and Rachel Teigue, who are
both sharing the Citrus Fast stage. My weekly routine is

(01:51):
a whirlwind. Thursdays mean Jazz at Revelers Hall, where the
swing spills into the street and the crowd is half
musicians anyway. Saturday, I bounce between open Mic at Opening
Bell and the Late Night Beats at Sounders Dallas. Yes,
the hype on their website is real. They deliver the
best night of your life for those looking for community
spirit in a little nostalgia, don't misdo it for Drret

Foundation Night at Texas Live on August twenty second with
Rhet Miller of Old ninety Seven's and Josh Weather. Music
Festivals are my super Bowl. I'm sketching out a plan

acts like lat Energia, No'rtaigna and Lenny Tavares will turn
Arlington into a dance floor. Some of these events sell

out weeks ahead, so I always lock in early secret spots. Oh,
I've got those. The rooftop at Silo is hosting Ductwork
on August twenty third, a genre defining show with Easy
Baked and Fly. Want a show under the radar? Ask
