Hey good people!

If you are anywhere near the Dallas/Ft Worth area, there is a show coming up that you can't miss. All the details are listed below, it will be a hell of a day.

JUST ANNOUNCED: 5th Annual A Spune Christmas 2008

TYPE: Laid back. Great music. Free food. Cheap Drinks.

Think of it as one of the best end-of-year office parties in town!

We're teaming up with Lola's Saloon and throwing this party at the Longhorn Saloon in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards.

Longhorn Saloon was originally established in 1919 and is the oldest existing saloon in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Although it has come and gone through the years, the Longhorn still maintains its old west style and atmosphere. Hank Williams & Bob Wills are a part of the Longhorn's history.

We're thrilled to have national artists, THE WOOD BROTHERS (Chris Wood of Medeski Martin and Wood), DEVIL DOLL and DIRTFOOT appear at this event.
With locals like Telegraph Canyon and Josh Weathers Band, and a setting like the Stockyards, it just affirms the Bonnaroo style good times that will be had.

Don't Miss the Annual Christmas In the Stockyards Parade & Christmas Tree Lighting at 4 PM
We open the doors at 5 PM with live music, free tacos, wassail and all kinds of goodness!

About the bands:

THE WOOD BROTHERS (Atlanta to NYC)
http://www. myspace. com/thewoodbrothers
The first public collaboration between vocalist and guitarist Oliver Wood, who fronts Atlanta-based blues band King Johnson, and upright bassist Chris Wood, of the long-running, genre-blasting trio Medeski Martin and Wood. Their folk and acoustic blues tunes, tinged with gospel hopefulness and country melancholy, were welcomed like old friends by both fans and pundits. National Public Radio named their debut disc one of their top ten discoveries that year. Rolling Stone declared, “The flip, easygoing party music on ‘Lose’ disguises sneakily deep inquiries into what it means to be alive, struggle with temptation, and every once in a while seek some truth.

DEVIL DOLL (Los Angeles, CA)
http://www. myspace. com/devildoll
A Los Angeles based band led by the Devil Doll herself, Colleen Duffy. The music is a mixture of 40's style jazz, rockabilly, latin and punk. Jessica Rabbit meets Joan Jett. Devil Doll puts the sex back into rock and roll, giving the ladies something to swing their hips to, as well as something for the men to wink at! A Fort Worth favorite who is always welcome.

DIRTFOOT - (Shreveport, LA)
http://www. myspace. com/mydirtfoot
A real dose of Gypsy, Punk, Country, Grumble Boogie! "Here’s their deal: Imagine Nick Cave on a bed of rusty nails, the cover of “Gin and Juice” often mis-attributed to Phish (it was actually the Gourds), some old-timey “Dem Bones,” Old Crow Medicine show culture-clash, and that subtle fecal stench of Mr. Bungle skronk sax craziness: Get theses elements, let them stew in an oaken barrel for a number of years and out comes Shreveport, Louisiana’s Dirtfoot.

JOSH WEATHERS BAND (Ft.
Worth)
http://www. myspace. com/joshweathersband
A soul infused, high energy quartet with influences as diverse as the band’s sound with a jammin live show! "A fearsomely talented quartet gets sticky-sweet soul all over its agreeable pop-rock to fantastic effect. Everything from Al Green to John Frusciante inspires 'em.
- Fort Worth Star-Telegram

TELEGRAPH CANYON (Ft.
Worth)
http://www. myspace. com/telegraphcanyon
A great live band with a country-twanged gospel folk sound.

"Timeless yet immediate, it's the sound of America, torn from the depths of an observant soul.
One of the brightest new bands " - Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“A complex symphony of sound” - SF Station / San Francisco, CA.
"Ancient instruments, dusty vibes, wrist-slitting tension” - Fort Worth Weekly
