THURSDAY, MAY 12, AT DADA, 2720 ELM ST., $20 AT PREKINDLE.COM Ho99o9 (pro- nounced “horror”) is hip-hop/punk rock duo founded in Newark, New Jersey, in 2012. Af- ter relocating to Los Angeles in 2014, theOGM and Eaddy began collaborating with Santigold pro- ducer Ian Longwell on drums, giving the rap group its fast, hard-driving backbeat. Later that year, the band took on Black Flag drummer and Grapevine-native Brandon Pertzborn and re- corded its first album, United States of Horror. A breathtaking, 17-track album, United States of Horror was the perfect mix of rap and punk, blending the two genres so well that it was nearly impossible to tell where one ended and the other began. The group has spent much of its career as the opening act for metal acts 3Teeth, Avenged Sevenfold and The Dillinger Escape Plan, but Thursday night the group makes a headlining appearance at Deep Ellum’s Dada with opening support from punk rap- per N8NOFACE. DAVID FLETCHER Meat Puppets 7 P.M. FRIDAY, MAY 13, AT THE KESSLER, 1230 W. DAVIS ST., $24+ AT PREKINDLE.COM Nirvana was nine songs into its legendary MTV Unplugged performance when, after a stirring rendition of “Something In The Way,” singer Kurt Cobain introduced brothers Cris and Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets to the stage to take over guitar and bass as he sang three of their songs, “Plateau,” “Oh Me” and “Lake of Fire.” While many view that night as Kurt Co- bain’s swan song, it was something of an end for Meat Puppets as well. The last of those songs, “Lake of Fire,” came from Meat Puppets’ iconic Too High To Die album, which was a success in its own right thanks to the extensive radio-play of the single “Backwater.” The band wouldn’t last much longer before going on its first hiatus followed by a decade of legal and addiction is- sues. The band has been going steady since 2006 when the original members got back to- gether and toured with Sonic Youth. A different Seattle grunge band, Mudhoney, will be playing in support Friday night. DF 18 Olivia Rodrigo 8 P.M. SATURDAY, MAY 14, AT THE PAVILION AT TOYOTA MUSIC FACTORY, 300 W. LAS COLINAS BLVD., $625+ AT STUBHUB.COM As far as pop stars go, you really can’t get much bigger than Olivia Rodrigo. Maybe that’s why tickets to her show at The Pavilion at Toyota Mu- sic Factory are going for $625+ on StubHub now. With two No. 1 hits and three others chart- ing high, the singer’s 2021 release Sour was ab- solutely the biggest album of the year in terms of sales and acclaim, and it earned her three Grammys and a host of other awards around the globe. Rodrigo is touring with English indie-pop artist Holly Humberstone, who just recently Gustavo Caballero /Getty Images Paul McCartney performs Tuesday. inked a deal with Rodrigo’s label, Interscope. Like Rodrigo, Humberstone pushes the pop genre forward with intimate songwriting and experimental music choices. Unlike Rodrigo, Humberstone prefers a more atmospheric ap- proach inspired by Bon Iver and Lorde over Ro- drigo’s pop-punk sensibility. DF LP 7 P.M. SUNDAY, MAY 15, AT HOUSE OF BLUES 2200 N. LAMAR ST., $80+ AT LIVENATION.COM Long Island singer-songwriter Laura Pergolizzi, known by their stage name LP, has been writing and recording music since 2001 when their de- but record Heart-Shaped Scar captured listen- ers’ attention with gritty pop-rock guitars and the singer’s softened blues-rock voice. LP has gone on to write songs for others including Backstreet Boys’ “Love Will Keep You Up All Night” and Rihanna’s “Cheers (Drink to That).” While always staying just out of the limelight on the American music stage, LP has seen their biggest success in Europe where LP’s third al- bum, Lost On You, went platinum on the Polish, French and Italian music charts thanks to the success of the album’s title track. The song “Lost on You” became an unexpected hit across Eu- rope and Mexico well over a year after its re- lease, becoming the fourth most Shazamed song in the world in the summer of 2016. LP is now touring in support of their sixth album, Churches. DF Paul McCartney 8 P.M. TUESDAY, MAY 17, AT DICKIE’S ARENA, 1911 MONTGOMERY ST., $283+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM When it comes to big names in town, it really can’t get much bigger than a former Beatle, can it? Paul McCartney’s status as a genre-defining songwriter is unquestionable, and his musical and humanitarian legacy is beyond reproach. A lifetime champion for human and animal rights, McCartney has supported peace-loving causes since his time with The Beatles and, in the last decade, has become a voice for environmental issues as well. It’s hard to say exactly what you’re going to get when you see an artist like McCartney, who has written hundreds of songs across six decades of music, but audiences can expect to hear songs from his time with The Beatles, Wings and from his solo albums. The singer’s latest album, McCartney III, was re- leased in December 2020, the last of a trilogy that began with 1979’s McCartney and 1980’s McCartney II, which also featured McCartney on all instruments.
