When: Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010, 10 p.m.

Where: Hailey's, 122 Mulberry Street, Denton

Cost: $6 - $8

Age limit: All ages

Description: Made up mostly of former music students from the highly esteemed University of North Texas (affectionately referred to as "the Juilliard of the South"), the band effortlessly blends a strong sense of musicality and virtuosity with raw, organic musical instincts. The 9-piece group is doing something very relevant, and something very honest- they're making music as a generation immersed in diversity. Bjork, Dave Holland, D'Angelo, Wayne Krantz, Pat Metheny, Lettuce, and Radiohead resonate within the compositions to form the unified, unique, soulful sound that is unmistakably Snarky Puppy.

The group was formed in 2004 by award-winning bassist and composer Michael League, and immediately gained the support of a large, diverse audience. The group's fourth album (and first on Ropeadope Digital) will be released this year... maybe even in time for this show!

Outside of Snarky Puppy, the band members have performed with some of the biggest names in jazz and popular music, including Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Sting, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Eddie Gomez, Maria Schneider, Roberta Flack, Dave Douglas, Phil Woods, Marcus Miller, Maynard Ferguson, Bill Holman, Morcheeba, Headhunters, Chaka Khan, Jimmy Cobb, Marc Johnson, Slide Hampton (TM), Jimmy Heath, Benny Golson, "Snooky" Young, Lenny White, and countless more.

And yes, this is Crisman's favorite band ever.

Five Primer: Choose Your Allusion
It’s not the easiest task finding a common thread between bands as varied as those on the NX35 roster.

‘Courage’’s 3.6 Examined
wordle.net Our Twitter feed would suggest it’s likely you saw Pitchfork’s review of Midlake’s The Courage of Others before daybreak. And we’d agree there’s reason for disappointment, as the Chicago-based site (to which we ascribed much importance in the post preceding this one) assigned the long-awaited album a scathing 3.6. Number one reason the rating’s a shame? [...]

Denton TX updated Sat Jun 21 2008 7:24 am CDT
If you enjoy this lens or find it to be useful and informative, please rate it up at the very top of the page! Denton, Texas is a Main Street City that tops a triangle formed by itself, Ft. Worth and Dallas. This area is traditionally referred to as the Golden Triangle and our largest shopping mall shares this name. Established in 1857, Denton is the county seat of Denton County, and was named for John B. Denton. John Denton was a lawyer, preacher, and a soldier. His grave is on the courthouse lawn in the center of Denton's historic downtown square. The center-piece of the downtown square is the old Denton County Courthouse which was erected in 1896 and restored in 1987. The courthouse contains a museum highlighting historic photographs and artifacts from the City's founding to the present. Denton is the proud home of two public Universities; Texas Woman's University and the University of North Texas, the 3rd largest university in the State of Texas, with a combined enrollment of approximently 40,000 students. Denton is also the home town of Grammy Award winning band Brave Combo and the Grammy Award winning 1 O'Clock Lab band as well as the former stomping grounds of UNT alumni Don Henley, Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.
