fuzzy guitar pop rock, that you'd be surfing to if you lived in So Cal in the 70's.. dig?
dUNETX has been a mainstay in the Houston music scene for well over 10 years. Three albums later and a handful of ep's, the band is still writing, playing, and putting out catchy guitar rock.
The bands live show is really what has been drawing fans in for years. High energy shows that are part rockNroll, part comedy act.
The band has played shows with bands like The Lemonheads, Spoon, Violent Femmes, Rev Horton Heat, Fastball, Better Than Ezra, Goo Goo Dolls, The Posies, Jerry Cantrell, Seether, The Presidents of the USA, Local H, Superdrag, Steve Burns, French Kicks, KingsX, Bowling For Soup, Royal Trux, plus a ton of cool local and regional bands over the years like the Deathray Davies, Funland, Burden Brothers, Dash Rip Rock, Tablet, Ben Kweller.
One music mag writer said this. . . . .
dUNETX is the perfect combination of bubblegum pop and pure rock fury.The band remains perhaps Houston's most overlooked outfit. Sure, they've gotten their props in the press and are "respected" by the scene and all. But something this big needs mass exposure. -cs
And more press . . . .
What's best about this band is there is no sense of pretension. dUNETX's songs are fun songs -- songs geared more toward an audience who is discriminating in its musical tastes.
Throw in some Weezer, a smidgen of The Beach Boys, and some early Nineties indie rock -- specifically Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and maybe some Fig Dish, Bob Mould, and Blake Babies -- and you get a glimpse of what dUNETX sounds like. Goldenarm might very well be this summer's party record -- I can't imagine college kids across the nation not having this on at some point during the day. - dc

The bands 1999 release "Machowagon" and 2005 release "Goldenarm" were engineered and co produced by friend Steve Ames of Moving Sidewalks, ZZ Top, and Kings X fame.
Thanks for the support. Make sure you check out Trent Willmon new song entitled " Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You" on his myspace page and let us know what you think.
Hellooooooo Chris from Oregon!!! Brandon and I moved out here about 8 months ago and are missing some dUNETX I gotta tell ya!!! Life is good, work is great (moved here so I could work at an awesome Gerontology Institute), music here is choice, very cool art and the people are skiddly doo wop!!! No music making for me lately unfortunately, but I'm making some hook-ups locally - was asked to sing back-ups on a blues album here - might do it ;) Bought a new guitar (Eric would laugh at that since I sucked last time he heard me play a million years ago - I think I might still owe him money for lessons?!? Ha!).
Anyway, keep me posted on your music - now you've got a friend in Oregon ;)
This is a comment going out to all our friends on myspace. We thought that due to our recent success in Climb The Tail(we didn't win, just got through to final 6) we would upload some new tunes. So now on our page You Will find:
