FRIDAY, MARCH 18, AT THE PAVILION AT TOYOTA MUSIC FACTORY, 300 W. LAS COLINAS BLVD., $35+ AT LIVENATION.COM Formed in 1969, Judas Priest changed the look of heavy metal music when they dropped the hippie look metal bands like Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer held on to and opted for black leather and studs. The band also helped steer the sound of heavy metal from slow, ominous blues-rock to fast-paced, hard-driving rock. Countless metal bands have not only developed that style but have also adopted band names in- spired by Judas Priest albums and songs — Steeler, Exciter, Sinner and Tyrant to name just a few. Fans hoping to see Judas Priest on its ac- tual 50th anniversary were disappointed in 2020 when the legendary heavy metal band had to postpone its tour twice thanks to the pandemic. Now celebrating 52 heavy metal years, Judas Priest rips into The Pavilion at Toy- ota Music Factory Friday night with opening support from an equally influential progressive metal band, Queensrÿche. DAVID FLETCHER Surfbort 7 p.m. Sunday, March 20, at Three Links, 2704 Elm St., $16 at etix.com Taking its name from a bathtub-based sex act referenced in Beyoncé’s “Drunk In Love,” Brook- lyn punk rock band Surfbort came crashing into the music scene in 2015. Fronted by the eccen- tric and wild Dani Miller, Surfbort has become notorious for its eye-grabbing stage show. Be- yond her outlandish style, missing upper lateral incisors and uncovered, unshaven body hair, Miller has a voice filled with raw passion in the tradition of Courtney Love and The Distillers’ Brody Dalle, and just like Love and Dalle before her, Miller is backed by an amazing band. Com- posed of New York City scene veterans, the rest of Surfbort creates visceral punk rock played with reckless abandon with song-lengths aver- aging at about two minutes. Surfbort headlines one of the three Not So Fun Wknd shows taking place this weekend in Deep Ellum alongside Austin punk band Pussy Gilette and L.A. punk bands Smirk and Niis. DF SRSQ 8 p.m. Sunday, March 20, at The Nines, 2911 Main St., $10+ at eventbrite.com Dallas electronic artist SRSQ (pronounced seer- skew) is the solo project of Them Are Us Too co- founder Kennedy Ashlyn, which she created in response to losing her collaborator Cash Askew in the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland in 2016. Signed to the New York- and L.A.-based label Dais Re- cords, SRSQ combines poetic lyrics with a multi- Velma Hernandez octave vocal range and moody songcraft. Dubbing her sound “griefwave,” SRSQ released her deeply emotional debut album, Unreality, in 2019 and received widespread acclaim both for the album and her incredible live show. Entering 2022, SRSQ plays its first shows of the year as a full-band experience, making its way through a short run of Texas dates that culminates in Dal- las Sunday night. SRSQ headlines at The Nines in Deep Ellum after sets by North Texas post- punk acts Llora, Clear Acid and Nicole Marxen. DF Buddy Guy 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St., $39.50 at livenation.com Do you want to know what Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck have in common? Aside from being staples on any classic rock station, each one of those guitar gods cites Buddy Guy as a critical influence on their style and song- writing. Known for playing the Chicago-style blues developed with his former bandleader Muddy Waters, Guy developed his signature sound by adding in elements inspired by his home state Louisiana, creating a sound that ranges from blues to free jazz to soul. Guy re- leased his 18th solo album in 2018, his 34th over- all including his collaborative albums with Junior Wells, Memphis Slim and his younger brother Phil Guy. The 85-year-old bluesman may have grown old in years, but his sound remains as timeless as ever. Canadian rock and blues singer-songwriter Colin James opens for the blues legend Tuesday night. DF Modern English 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, at Amplified Live, 10261 Technology Blvd. E., $25+ at seetickets.us With fears of nuclear war once again looming in the background, this may be the best time to re- visit everyone’s favorite song about making love to the sound of an atomic bomb drop, “I Melt With You” by British new wave band Modern English. Often derided as a so-called one-hit wonder, Modern English released albums consis- tently through the ‘80s and mid-’90s despite breaking up twice and having contractual issues with its record label. Singer Robbie Grey toured as Modern English with a completely different lineup throughout the 2000s before getting most of the original band back together before its 2016 release Take Me to the Trees. That is the lineup you will see Tuesday night performing Modern English’s classic 1982 album After The Snow live in its entirety Tuesday night at Amplified Live after a set by DJ Crash from KNON NOW’s new Wednes- day night show, 80’s New Wave. DF Surfbort performs on Sunday at Three Links. MARCH 17–23, 2022 DALLAS OBSERVER CLASSIFIED | MUSIC | DISH | CULTURE | UNFAIR PARK | CONTENTS dallasobserver.com
