| LET’S DO THIS | t Music The Wee-Beasties 8 P.M. THURSDAY, JAN. 6, AT AMPLIFIED LIVE, 10261 TECHNOLOGY BLVD. E., $10 AT SEETICKETS.US After releasing the surprisingly melodic lead single “I Wish My Mom Would Smoke Pot With Me” last summer, The Wee- Beasties are ready to give audiences The Whole 7 Inches EP that was funded in part by a punk rock car wash in the spring, The Whole 7 Inches is a four-song dive into the darker side of pop that shows just how tame the band could be if they really wanted to. DJ Crash presents the band’s always-wild show Thursday night at Am- plified Live with opening support from Crucial Times, the brand new punk band fronted by former Blot Out and Hard De- tox singer Zach Abrego with Corkscrew Nosedive’s Hunter Gwin on bass and Phorids drummer Travis Brown. This “Punk Overthrow” will also have From Parts Unknown, which released a new video for their son “Blood and Teeth” at the end of last year. The concert will be held on the venue’s indoor stage.

Slobberbone 7 P.M. FRIDAY, JAN. 7, AT THE KESSLER, 1230 W. DAVIS ST., $20 AT PREKINDLE.COM Denton’s legendary alt-country band Slobber- bone was born in a Park ’n’ Go beer store park- ing lot in early 1992. In the next four years, the band toured across Texas until releasing its first album Crow Pot Pie. Slobberbone would go on to release three more albums before ultimately calling it quits in the early 2000s and letting the legend live on. In 2016, the band released Bees and Seas: The Best of Slobberbone, which the band saw as more of a creative retrospective than a traditional “Best of” album. The album, complete with liner notes written by Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood, was selected by the group as the best representation of what the band was and remains to this day. Slobberbone shows aren’t exactly unheard of, but they defi- nitely don’t happen often. This is your chance to catch the band at The Kessler in Oak Cliff with opening support from longtime Fort Worth in- die-rockers The Cush. DF The Roomsounds 8 P.M. FRIDAY, JAN. 7, AT THREE LINKS, 2704 ELM ST., $15 AT SEETICKETS.US Even before the release of their 2012 self-titled debut album, The Roomsounds had gone through many rebirths. Ahead of their junior al- bum release, the modern-take-on-classic-rock outfit was working with a relatively new lineup. But listening to The Roomsounds’ 2019 single “Take Me As I Am” made it clear that nearly nothing could slow the band down. When the band finally released Good Company in 2021 with its lead single “Big Shot,” the band showed that not even a pandemic could stop its creative flow. The Roomsounds play Three Links in Deep Ellum Friday night with the support of three opening bands. DFW’s folk-fueled rock ‘n’ roll act Deadwind Howler will lead into The Room- sounds after sets by funk-infused rock band Dead Vinyl and a solo set by Texicana’s Chris J. Norwood. DF Nicole Marxen 9 P.M. FRIDAY, JAN. 7, AT HARVEST HOUSE, 331 E. HICKORY ST., FREE Harvest House in Denton has the perfect at- mosphere for an intimate show on a winter’s night for this rescheduled performance. Com- plete with heaters and fire pits with enough room for everyone to sit comfortably, Harvest House hosts avant-pop artist Nicole Marxen Friday evening. Marxen released her first solo EP, Tether, earlier in 2021 after years with glam rock band Midnight Opera. Marxen lost her mother at a young age and was inspired to write the EP after sorting through some of her mother’s things and processing her grief. Tether has received high praise from critics across the country for its beautiful and haunt- ing approach to grieving. Opening for Marxen Friday night is Denton singer-songwriter Lau- ren Christner followed by Bosque Brown (Mara Lee Miller) who has recently reunited with her former collaborator Jeremy Buller, who went on to play with Sarah Jaffe and OK Sweetheart. DF Hen & the Cocks 7 P.M. SATURDAY, JAN. 8, AT THE RIDGLEA LOUNGE, 6025 CAMP BOWIE BLVD., $10 AT EVENTBRITE.COM Known for her electrifying and engaging live performances, JoAnn Henkel and the rest of Hen & the Cocks celebrated the release of new al- bum Cult Babies last summer, and the band is ready to get things going harder and louder than ever this Saturday in Fort Worth. Hen and the Cocks defy sub-genre definitions in favor of their own brand of straight-up rock ‘n’ roll built on guitarist Blake Coutee’s buzzsaw licks, Ryan Kerns’ slam dance bass and the driving rhythms of Trent Jones on drums. The Cocks’ friends in Mutha-Falcon were supposed to play the show, but they had to back out because of health con- cerns. Mutha-Falcon will fly again at its show Jan. 29 at The Bearded Monk in Denton. Hen & the Cocks’ concert Saturday night will go on as planned at The Ridglea Lounge, however, thanks to the up-and-coming punk bands Plan B and Soft Shock.
