Deep Ellum Arts Festival REWIND

Reviews + Photos by: Taylor Prater & Jaren Lorenz

The weather in DFW is officially not crazy (knocks on wood) and you know what that means - arts festivals. Music, food, games, art, the works, and all in Deep Ellum, one of the best cultural gathering places in the Metroplex.

#TakeYourPantsOff Live in Dallas w/ Parallel Play

Review & Photos by: Jaren Lorenz

Parallel Play dropped their new album ‘Take Your Pants Off’ at The Prophet Bar on Saturday and had enthusiastic partygoers eager and ready to drop their own pants in return for the high energy and good vibes that the band created.

Parallel Play - Take Your Pants Off [REVIEW]

Review by: Taylor Prater and Jaren Lorenz

Firstly, this album is called “Take Your Pants Off,” drawing me in with the carefree, goofy attitude while getting me excited about what I’m in store for.

Starting out the album with “When the Trail is Cold” and its bursting energy instrumentals and wide harmonies, hearing the shouts of “I came into a blueprint,” at the end of the track set the album up stylistically.

BIG FOLKIN' FEST YALL!


Review/Photos by: Taylor Prater

Huge thanks to Jeremy Drake and Parallel Play for having us out this weekend and entertaining the hell out of us with a great festival line-up!

Get ready for lots of creative ways to use the word “folkin’,” because the Deep Ellum Big Folkin’ Festival went down last Saturday at The Prophet Bar and things got folkin’ crazy.

Let’s all start off with some unanimous admiration for the set up of the thing, first of all. Four stages and all those bands, which were laid out into the schedule so seamlessly that transportation between sets was a breeze.

Outdoor vendors helped serve up a good down time, but if you wanted to rock straight from 4:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., you could bounce from set to set with no lag time, no sweat.

Folk yeah.

OK, I’ll stop. Maybe.
