Tonight is a doozy of a night for live music. At the Observatory North Park, country legend Dwight Yoakam returns, and in a bit of a strange bedfellows coupling, but perhaps not that weird, punk legends X also join the bill. Meanwhile up at the Belly Up, Crystal Fighters return. The Londoners always put on a great show with their own version of African and Spanish dance rhythms. Casbah's Wire show is sold out, but if you're looking for an indie show, head to Soda Bar for Australia's Methyl Ethyl who are getting a ton of attention after SxSW.
