Record Store Day – Events and Releases

Apr 4, 2011 by Sausage

Record Store Day is quickly approaching! The first Record Store Day took place in 2007, and has thankfully continued on and grown ever since. It was created to support the various independent record stores across the nation. Musical artists got behind it, and release special issue vinyls specifically for this day, and many record stores have turned it into a full blown event. I’ve been every year since it started, and am fully looking forward to the albums and festivities that surround this one. Continue reading for Record Store Day events that are happening across Texas, and what special edition vinyls will be released on April 16th, this year’s Record Store Day.

Dawes, Deer Tick, Middle Brother @ Club Dada

This St. Patrick’s Day not only brought about green beer and a false sense of Irish patriotism, but a triple bill of Middle Brother, Dawes, and Deer Tick at Club Dada. The moon was high and bright, the weather was perfect, and the “backyard party” feel of the venue provided a perfect setting for an intimate evening with three very talented bands.  As someone who had never been to their live show, and didn’t really know what to expect, I can truthfully say I was not disappointed. Read on to hear about all three bands.

NX35 + Greenville Parade = Dallas WINNING

Mar 9, 2011 by Sausage

This marks a fantastic weekend in music for the Dallas area. Denton, or as it calls itself, “the other, smaller, music town in Texas,” is putting on their own festival for bands that are on their way to Austin for SXSW. 35 Conferette, informally known as NX35, starts tomorrow and goes through Sunday. They have quite an impressive line-up, which you can find here: http://www.35conferette.com/schedule. After the jump you’ll see the Sausage recommended bands to catch, and find out about another big event going on this weekend in Dallas.

Welcome To Breakfast On Tour 2.0

Mar 7, 2011 by Eggs

It’s been a long time coming, but Breakfast On Tour has finally undergone a complete transformation. Thanks to Mss. HashBrowns and Cafe Con Leche, we have a fresh new look to the website, and I couldn’t be happier! Things have been kinda slow around here lately, but with the new design, plan to see loads of content in the very near future. If you would’ve asked me when starting this website that it would blossom into what it has become, I would’ve given you a crazy look. I’m so proud of my baby, and couldn’t continue to do it without the amazing BOT staff that have put so much time and effort into making everything about this website so much bigger and better.

Here’s to a great future for BOT!
