Dollar Store Bloodshot CD release show!
Where: Cactus Club

Loaded with trans-fats, soaked in cheap hops, and good for you in that way you know ain't no damn good for you. Given that Dollar Store's self-titled debut album was widely described as a slab of greasy roots rock, their new album Money Music should be labeled "extra-greasy," which is to say, extra good, so keep the sonic Wet-Naps handy, youre gonna need them. The album was recorded in two days and sounds like what the sessions were--four musicians, thoroughly enjoying themselves, pushing tempos and volume levels along the way. Thumbing their noses at self-obsessed bands who spend months in the studio and enough dough to build a pyramid in order to foist another polished dud upon the world, Dollar Store prove that rock n roll imbued with genuine energy and dynamism trumps indecision and overdubs every time. Guitarist Tex Schmidt's leads (think of the ragged energy of the Replacements combined with Scotty Moores cool) and Waco Brother Alan Doughty's manic bass are anchored by Joe Camirillo (Hushdrops) hitting the drums with straight forward authority. The simple, effective set up of a good rock band. Vocally, "Deano" Schlabowske seems to have hit the sweet spot between his gruff beginnings in his noise-pop outfit Wreck and the more anarchic, roadhouse-informed style he adopted in the Waco Brothers.Event submitted by Eventful.com on behalf of BSHQ.

Alice in Chains
Where: Rave/Eagles Ballroom

Alice in Chains is an influential grunge group formed by lead singer Layne Staley (1967-2002). Along with Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, Alice in Chains is one of the most commercially successful bands from the Seattle, Washington, grunge music scene. Unlike many of their peers, Alice in Chains owed more to heavy metal than to punk or '70s rock, but the group became closely associated with grunge due to their Seattle roots, the image they often presented by their attire, as well as with their introspective and sometimes morbid lyrics. Hurt is an up and coming band that has made inroads, touring with Staind on the Jagermeister Music Tour. Traces of Tool, Nirvana, and mid-period Metallica flicker throughout their debut album, but Hurt have created a remarkably individual sound nonetheless.
