Soul Coughing’s music nearly defies description. Not because it’s difficult or provocative, necessarily, but rather because it so skillfully fuses such disparate parts (jazz, hip-hop, free associative spoken word, pop, rock) that the resulting concoction is overwhelming in its originality.

The New York City group Soul Coughing will pass through Dallas with a show at the Longhorn Ballroom on April 18.

SILO Dallas has wasted little time establishing it

SILO Dallas has wasted little time establishing itself as a premier electronic dance music destination — not just in North Texas, but the United States.

The Design District-based space opened its doors in mid-September, less than six months ago, and DJ Magazine has singled out the space, alongside global staples like Ibiza’s Pacha and Berlin’s Berghain, as one of the top 100 clubs in the world for 2025.

This week, @silodallas revealed it’s planning to expand its capacity, from 3,145 to 5,000.
