Sure it's fun to sing along to something like "Party in the USA," but nothing compares to the bliss of yelling out lyrics with an attempted accent. Little excites us more on road trips than popping in The Cranberries and joining Dolores O'Riordan as she reaches notes and sounds that don't exist anywhere else on this planet. If that's something you can get into, why not try Glen Hansard's voice on for sound at The Action Pack's ONCE Sing-Along at the Alamo Ritz this Thursday (+ an additional sing-along next Thursday, August 19th). more ›

Since music’s most popular starlets tend to be scantily-clad and their songs are often as breezy and fun as a carefree teenage summer, a hot summer night is the perfect time for the Alamo Drafthouse to host one of its famously giddy Pop Princess Sing-Alongs. more ›

This year's tree is a 40 ft. tall Juniper, which will be augmented by new Congress Ave. Holiday lights. more ›

What's not to love about Labyrinth? You got Bowie, his enormous package (that we didn't notice as wee babes), a young, pre-getting-nekkid Jennifer Connelly, cool puppetry, and badass songs. Now, what if a theater were to get Jareth fans into one place to sing those badass songs? Well, it might have some power over us. Tonight's Labyrinth Sing-Along is sold out, but you've got three more chances to attend in the coming weeks. more ›

It's no secret that we love Teen Witch. Like, love loves. Uttering the words "sing-along" in tandem with the title of our favorite 80's musical trainwreck causes our radar mind for everything cheesy to go into overdrive, but little did we know our capacity for squealiness until we also heard the name Zelda Rubinstein thrown into the mix. Zelda freakin' Rubinstein!! As in, the teensy character actor of Poltergeist fame, who just happens to play the pivotal role of irresistible mentor to our favorite burgeoning witch. more ›
