SATURDAY, FEB. 5, AT MAIN AT SOUTH SIDE, 1002 S. MAIN ST., $12 AT PREKINDLE.COM Rock band The Orbans will return for one night only this Saturday night at Main At South Side in the band’s hometown of Fort Worth. The Or- bans have been nearly silent since they played a run of shows back in 2014. Since 2014, three- fifths of the group — guitarist Kenny Holling- sworth, drummer Jordan Elder and bassist Cliff Wright — formed Yeah Huh with former Oil Boom singer Ryan Taylor. Yeah Huh will be one of the two acts opening the show for The Or- bans that night, celebrating the release of a new EP. The second opening act, McKinney singer- songwriter Ghost Cloak, will also be releasing a new EP in conjunction with the show. No telling if The Orbans have a new release on the horizon, but this show would be a great place to be the first to know. DAVID FLETCHER Ryan Bingham 8 P.M. SATURDAY, FEB. 5, AT WILL ROGERS AUDITORIUM, 3401 W. LANCASTER AVE., $200+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM Ryan Bingham had already released two criti- cally acclaimed albums before T-Bone Burnett got ahold of him in 2009. As well-received as 2007’s Mescalito and 2009’s Roadhouse Sun were, both albums failed to earn the New Mex- ico songwriter the praise that his deeply soulful and confessional songwriting style deserved. All that changed with the film Crazy Heart. Bing- ham had a small role acting as the singer for the bowling alley backup band Tony and the Rene- gades, but he won an Oscar with T-Bone Bur- nett for writing the movie’s theme song, “The Weary Kind.” The song also won a Satellite Award, a Critic’s Choice Movie Award, a Grammy and a Golden Globe. That song, like many of the troubadour’s heartfelt bawlers, is perfect for a solo acoustic performance, which is exactly what audiences will be treated to when Bing- ham takes the stage Saturday evening at Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth. DF Drive-By Truckers 7 P.M. MONDAY, FEB. 7, AT TULIPS, 112 ST. LOUIS AVE., $35 AT PREKINDLE.COM Co-founded by Patterson Hood, the son of David Hood from the highly influential Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, Drive-By Truckers have been creating deeply meaningful Southern rock for 25 years now and have released something in just about every one of those years. In 2021, the band put out two full-length records. The Unraveling came out in January and was filled with songs of political angst, which the Truckers have dealt with Rick Diamond/Getty Images quite seriously throughout their career. The New OK, which came out last October, included out- takes from The Unraveling recordings and dealt less with politics and more with personal issues (and a cover of a Ramones song). Releasing these two companion albums in a single year al- lowed fans to see the many sides of the Drive-By Truckers, both in terms of music and lyrics. The band’s show Monday night at Tulips in Fort Worth will have opening support from Illinois singer- songwriter Ryley Walker. DF Agent Orange 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 9, AT TULIPS, 112 ST. LOUIS AVE., $15+ AT PREKINDLE.COM One of the first bands to mix surf rock and punk rock together for a breakneck mix of speed and adrenaline, Agent Orange first got together in Placentia, California, in 1979. The band’s most widely recognized and first single, “Blood- stains,” came out a year later on a self-released 7-inch EP, and the song has since appeared on countless punk compilations (including the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 soundtrack) as the quintes- sential model of surf punk. As far as album pro- duction goes, Agent Orange hasn’t done much of that since the band’s last official album, Virtu- ally Indestructible, came out in 1996. While there have been a couple of one-off singles, some re- recordings and re-releases, Agent Orange has stayed relevant by keeping up a consistent tour- ing schedule, packing venues and kicking out those jams. Agent Orange will have local sup- port Wednesday night at Tulips from The Me- Thinks and Cool Jacket. DF Nile 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 9, AT AMPLIFIED LIVE, 10261 TECHNOLOGY BLVD. E., $25 AT SEETICKETS.US South Carolina death metal band Nile formed in 1993 with a love for Egyptology and H.P. Love- craft. With guitar and bass tuned to dropped A, Nile plays a style of death metal that is both tech- nical and brutal, which makes for complex music played with a lot of aggression. While guitarist, vocalist and keyboard player Karl Sanders re- mains the band’s only original member while over a dozen others have passed through Nile’s ranks, the band has managed to put out a new al- bum every two or three years since the release of its 1998 debut, Amongst the Catacombs of Ne- phren-Ka. Nile’s ninth studio album and first with new bass and guitar players, Vile Nilotic Rites, was created with heavy input from each of the band’s members and was well-received by metal critics for its deeper focus on the technical side of death metal. Incantation, Sanguisugabogg and I Am join Nile on its Age Of Vile Divinities Tour.
