The Devil Wears Prada Live
Storming the stage following a more-than-impressive opening performance by Ohio-based Miss May I, TDWP came face-to-face with a packed house of Dallas locals inside The Door, one of the oldest clubs in the historic Deep Ellum community. It was already beastly hot inside the venue thanks to the 100 degree weather; however, TDWP made no exceptions to their set and turned the heat up to full blast. There was not a dry body inside of the house as they performed fan-favorites such as, “Danger Wildman,” “Reptar, King of the Ozone” and “Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over.”

Review by Nathan Doyle & Bianca Montes
Industry veterans, Emery, followed DGD with what was easily the set of the night. With a brief, eight-song, set, and decked out in matching Hawaiian t-shirts, they covered a few songs off of each of their major releases, including “Walls,” “The Smile, The Face,” “In Shallow Seas We Sail,” “Rock ‘n’ Rule,” and “Studying Politics.” “Walls” and “Studying Politics” opened and closed their set, respectively, and did a beautiful job of setting the tone for their set and bringing the energy back around, leaving everyone anxious for more.

Frontman Tim Skipper moved around a lot on stage and seemed to act as if certain guitar riffs touched his musical soul. Guitarist Jared Rigsby broke a string on the first strum of his instrument first song and suffered another string break later on, but dude moved around a lot, too.

Concert Review: Mychildren Mybride – Haste the Day
Emo’s is a very unforgiving venue with a stage smaller than most college bathrooms, and when you fill an equally limited floor space with tight-jeaned, stretched-lobed kids packed together like a deck of cards, the end result is down right boiling — especially in the prime of the Texas summer. Despite the crippling warmth and tight conditions, Mychildren Mybride poured every ounce of intensity into their forty-five minute set until it was dripping from vocalist Matthew Hastings’ long black hair.

Concert Review: mewithoutYou, Paper Route and Rubik
Obviously moved by his own music, front-man Aaron Weiss danced and fumbled intensely, lost in the music around him. I think deep down inside we all want to dance like Weiss, so carefree and joyous, like an innocent child. Hypnotized in the honesty of mewithoutYou, some crowd members stood perfectly still while some passerby’s danced and sang, infected by the music.
