What to Do in Dallas Tonight: July 21

It’s Wednesday, and we know you would rather pluck out your leg hairs one at a time with tweezers than cook dinner tonight. Solution: Sushi Night at Dallas Fish Market. The price of one drink buys you four pieces of sushi, and with the wine discounted to $5 or so, that’s practically a free meal! Yay you. For added fun, listen to Kyle Andrews’ cheerful ditty “Sushi” en route.

After you’ve supped, make your way to the Palladium Ballroom to hear the Silversun Pickups, a band out of Los Angeles that reminds us an awful lot of the Smashing Pumpkins–and not in a bad way.

Fun facts about the Silversun Pickups:

• Nominated for Best New Artist Grammy in 2009, even though the band debuted in 2005 with the album Pikul.
• Toured with OK Go, Snow Patrol, Foo Fighters, and Kaiser Chiefs.
• Hits include “Lazy Eye,” “Panic Switch,” “Substitution,” and our favorite, based purely on the title, “The Royal We.”
