August 2nd Issue of Quick DFW:

Five to see live with Ayo

1. FOREVER MIDNIGHT SUN: Yes, they can be filed under categories like Christian and screamo. Basically, they're good and they rock.

•Tomorrow night at the Door and Saturday night at Maximedia Studios

2. THE FIEROS: Smart, well-written indie pop that's both catchy and unobtrusive.

•Tomorrow night at the Cavern with the Redwalls, Smile Smile and more

3. THE UBA: Harmonized boy/girl vocals and dreamy, carefree indie melodies for the Starlight Mints set.

Saturday night at Firewater Bar & Grill

4. BLACK TIE DYNASTY: Fort Worth's hopeless romantics remain as damaged as Dave Gahan, and poised on the verge of larger success.

•Tomorrow night at Hailey's in Denton

5. SILENCE AFTER SUNDOWN: Young punk, played well and sung even better.

•Tomorrow night at Maximedia Studios
