Texas: May Concert Listings
May in Texas starts off with the big names: MS-adored M.I.A. plays Austin and Dallas, Kanye & Co. in Big D and H-Town. Don't want to drive four hours to see your favorite act twice in a row? The Raconteurs and Wilco each play two shows in two days at Stubb's in Austin.
There's a drop-off after all that, but let's face it, almost everything would be a drop-off after that kind of start. No home Spurs game on Cinco De Mayo, but Juanes fills the void. (Shouldn't there be more shows, state-wide that day?) Candlebox takes a break from playing the grand opening of a furniture showroom near you to play Beaumont. Some other solid shows all over the state (MS picks in bold), but nothing too noteworthy. Right? Am I forgetting something? Oh yeah...
