Next Wednesday, America will witness yet another Beatles invasion, with remastered versions of all the band's classic albums hitting stores for the first time in two decades, as well as the release of the long-awaited video game The Beatles: Rock Band. [Begins to hyperventilate.]
But the big bash in Dallas will occur the night before at Good Records. On Tuesday, the Lower Greenville store will host an all-out Beatles celebration, including an early performance from the Dandy Warhols (possibly covering "Blackbird," we're told) and screenings of Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine. Local Fab Four cover band A Hard Night's Day will count down the minutes to midnight with a late performance.
Good Records manager Chris Penn says there'll be beer flowing and plenty of prizes (especially for the winner of the Beatles: Rock Band tourney). And at the end of all the fun, you'll be able to buy those remastered albums (or the additional mono box set being released).
Now that you know what Good's got planned, it'd be pretty silly to wait and grab your Beatles goods at a big-box store.
A different kind
of release
The guys in Dallas country band Boys Named Sue have ideas for those of you not getting caught up in the Beatlemania. To mark Idol Records' release of the new album The Hits Vol. Sue!, the Boys will take over the Libertine on Tuesday night for a listening party. Writes singer John Pedigo in an e-mail, "We have purchased a keg for the event. Thus, party to the maximus. Come on down. It'll be great! Like going to the Mac-Donalds!" And if you like what you hear on Tuesday, you'll want to attend the official CD-release show on Sept. 11 (with the King Bucks) at Sons of Hermann. Much more on the album next week, but for now, head to QuickDFW.com to hear a new track from it.
