Like a whole other country? A brand-new club is prepared to rock the Stockyards
While the face of downtown Fort Worth's nightclub scene continues to change, thanks to the recent birth of dance-club/lounge triplets Aqua, Bent and Embargo (see our cover story), the Stockyards are also on the eve of a metamorphosis of sorts. Next Thursday, the Rockyard club will open at 2525 Rodeo Plaza, in the 15,000-square-foot space once occupied by Club Fusion.

Music Review: Indie Round-Up for November 2, 2006
The Ratchets, Glory BoundThis angry, melodic, Clash-inspired punk-and-roll with a message is so perfect in its way I can't help wondering if it's an act, and I don't mean in the sense that all bands are acts. But how can you not like a band with lyrics like "Money makers are coming in their Cadillacs/To watch us eat our lunch/Sloganeers are here with their assholes shined/To beat us to the punch"? In four quick lines they establish both working class cred and clear-eyed political realism.Their second, endearingly old-fashioned main theme is "rock is our salvation" and they seem to mean it both symbolically and literally: "We're human amplifiers/Together they can't deny us;" "it doesn't matter how firmly you are wound/There's plenty of people who will try to water you down/Don't let them drown you." Sophisticated guitar layering, keyboard touches, and relatively slow tempos contrast effectively with hoarsely shou

Santana: Festival
Santana Festival Columbia Records 1977 The year 1977 was another period of transition for guitarist Carlos Santana. He was going into the studio to craft a follow-up to Amigos, the highly successful 1976 return to Top 10 Billboard status after abandoning a four-year immersion in jazz fusion. During that phase, Santana had turned his career over to rock promoter Bill Graham and producer David Rubinson and was searching for a way to ensure his presence on FM radio...

Prasanna: Electric Ganesha Land
Prasanna Electric Ganesha Land Susila Music 2006 Hot on the heels of the genre bending South Indian Carnatic/jazz fusion album Be The Change, Prasanna here offers another staggering experiment. This time he fuses Carnatic music with many of the known variants, and sources, of rock music--from hard rock to heavy metal to blues to acid to bluegrass to grunge and pretty much everything in between. Shape shifting ad infinitum into soundscapes shimmering with the dazzling hues of myriad ragas, and some thrilling excursions into mainstream jazz, this must be the musical equivalent of literary magical realism--kind of like Salman Rushdie with a Gibson Les Paul. Electric Ganesha Land, a blazing tribute to guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, is the third definitive addition to a nascent, but already remarkable, beyond-jazz anthology...
