Always The Alibi

Always The Alibi play the Omni Pegasus Bar on Friday, October 16, starting at 7 PM. It's a Dallas band, and this one's a bit of a shift from their usual full-band setup: the bill lists them as Always The Alibi (Henry Coke Acoustic), so you'll be hearing Coke take the lead on an acoustic set rather than the full group.

If you've never caught them, here's the context. Always The Alibi is a Dallas-based band that's spent the last five years playing high-energy alternative rock fused with modern pop hits. They're a regular presence around the Southwest, playing clubs, bars, restaurants, and music festivals, and they average about 40 shows a year. That's a lot of time on the road, and it shows in the kind of venues they've worked—they've played Allen USA, the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, and the South Street Arts Festival.

When they're out in full, the band is made up of Rich Muenckler, Henry Coke, Nick DiBiasio, and Matt Wilson. For this one, though, the focus is on Coke. Since the full band's whole thing is that high-energy alternative rock sound, seeing him go acoustic should give you a different side of what they do.

The show is at the Omni Pegasus Bar, inside the Omni Dallas Hotel at 555 S Lamar, and it kicks off at 7 PM on Friday, October 16.
