"Raw, addictive sound. Spunk punk energy. 'Missed The Bus' is the hot new anthem of anger. Dillon's seal of approval."
— Brett Dillon 95.3 FM 'The Range' Dallas, Texas
"Rock act the Dirty Sound opened last Thursday night at the Red-Eyed Fly, but it was hard to tell from the filthy set they unleashed. Their classic rock 'n' roll, in-your-face style was fortified with heavy country and punk rock undertones.
Reminiscent of the Old 97's, with country back beats and twangy influence, the four-piece band grabbed more attention with their sporadic punkish blasts. In contrast, the lead singer's acoustic guitar sounded surprisingly appropriate and gave the band even more country character.
Versatility and wide spheres of influence give the Dirty Sound exactly what their name suggests, but this isn't a bad thing. It's hard to find a band these days with an original sound and they've pin-pointed one. It's danceable, good for drinking, and maybe a fight or two, but give the Dirty a listen because they might be on to something."
ACL rocked, but there is NO time to rest... Art Outside starts Friday!
Featuring musicians like Wine and Revolution, Suzanna Choffel, Freq Nasty and 62 other acts across three stages, over 100 visual artists ranging from photographers to jewelry-designers, film shorts by Austin Underground Film Society, on-site yoga and acrobatic training, DIY craft demos, fashion show by Rene Geneva, fire dancing performances and much more, Art Outside is an unforgettable, full-sensory art adventure. Art Outside also makes a special effort to reach out to families, and will offer interactive earth-friendly projects, storytelling, and a variety of arts and crafts workshops for children at this year's event.
Since its inception in 2004, Art Outside presented this year by Art Seen Alliance has played a significant role in shaping Texas' vibrant art and music community. By moving creative works from inside gallery walls to an outdoor setting with open sky and wild environs, Art Outside challenges guests to rethink the way they view art, fostering an environment where no genre is off-limits, no medium left unexplored.
