ATTENTION: Austin City Limits "The Sound and the Jury" Battle of the Bands.
Austin City Limits Music Festival is hosting a battle of the bands to play the actual festival and the winning band will be receiving a slot on the Dell stage at the 2007 Austin City Limits Music Festival. Here's the catch though: people have to vote for the band. We know you get asked to do this a lot, but please, we need to ask for everyone's help at this point. We would love to play this festival. It's as simple as that. And if you vote, it would help incredibly in making a dream of ours come true. So, here's the info:
It shouldn't take more then a couple of minutes and it would go a long way to helping us play Austin City Limits. You can vote every day, or if you prefer, just send us your email and we will register you to vote daily and you will recieve a confirmation email that will finalize your vote from Austin City Limits. This is a chance that we can't afford to miss.
So please, please, please help us out and cast a vote daily or send us your email so we can register you to vote. You'd be amazed what a few minutes of your time can do to influence the success of a few struggling musicians. It doesn't matter where you live or if you'll be attending, this would help us incredibly. Thank you.
Are eight tracks enough to prove that we've got "it"? This is the question that Dynah, whether they were conscious of it or not, set out to answer in their recent EP, Wake. The verdict? Eight will do just fine, and I'm eagerly awaiting the rest.
The four-man group from Austin possesses the invaluable talent of being able to write simple, catchy rock songs that never get bogged down in the "art" of rock. They are unashamedly uncomplicated, without over-production or slick studio effects. Sonically, the album is comparable to a much-stripped-down Radiohead or U2, minus the self-importance. These days, an alt/rock, alt/Brit-pop, alt/anything band is in danger of being lost in a sea of like sounds. Dynah rises above with smart, adaptable lyrics, the kind which know when to keep it simple and let a tune do the work, or when to come together with a piano to get some more pathos pumping, like on the opening of "Mistakes". The end result is a healthy mix of rocking, dancing, and emoting that just doesn't seem to get old, no matter how many repeats you get through.
Dynah is poised to garner more attention, with a knack for writing hooks that stick and songs that sound ready-made for an audience. Already one of the most successful emerging Austin artists, Dynah could grab even more of a spotlight if they continue to produce quality music like this.

Fucking amazing music! I wish you guys were playing in FL or Central Cali or even Michigan... You have to be in south central US, the place I have no connections! :( Come to Michigan in the fall and play at MSU! I'd love to hear you guys live. It's great to hear some amazing music nowadays in the US!
I hope you can make this benefit on June 28th. It will be lots of fun! If you can't make it, please consider donating a few dollars to a very good cause. There is a paypal donation button on my profile. Thanks so much!
