Anvil's Coming To Dallas. So Is Anvil.

Categories: Music News


Over on Unfair Park today, Robert's got some great, unbeatable news: Anvil, the best-reviewed documentary of the year, which tells the story of a real-life band of the same name that never made it (but is still trying, some 25 years later), is coming to Dallas--finally--at the Magnolia Theatre starting on Friday, May 29. And, on that opening night? Anvil will perform live and in-person after the 9:45 showing.

Boo. Yah.
