The folks over at Keep Texas Live got to see their musical child come to life last Saturday night when Clearfork Music Festival gathered some of the best in all styles of Fort Worth music.
Since the festival’s announcement back in the beginning of August, it’s safe to say the city was in all kinds of excitement for a full day of jams.

Saturday
It was time for a bit of a change in vibe in the lineup as we rounded out the second day of the festival. The 2 p.m. sun was blazing down and it was up to the bands to make up for any drained energy from the sun.
Quick one this humid Friday morning because it's too hot to sit in one spot and type for too long.
Quite Company will be at Lola's Saloon tonight with a 9pm door time and the show starts at 10pm. QC is an Austin based rock band that have been doing their thing for over 7 years with good success. They are scheduled to play Austin City Limits fest. the first time ever this year.
Local fav. gang The Hanna Barbarians will be supporting tonight as well.
Come out to Fort Worth - Dallas and get a dose of FW rock!
Garage rock so effin' loud it should be called basement noise. Hot damn, think I just coined a genre no one will ever use! "Basement Noise"
That said, doesn't mean The Phuss is without melodic groove, no question you can hear it amid the twisted off volume knobs.
These three guys out of Fort Worth have built a very respectable catalog and following since the band first formed back in 2008. The man up front and guitarist Josh Fleming started it up with drummer Trey Alfaro four years ago, then adding bassist Forrest Barton two years later.
Back in March and April of this year the band got a chance to play a few dates with the Toadies and Sealion throughout Texas.
Post Toadies tour, The Phuss got a chance to play ArtsGoggle in Fort Worth with another local fav. band The Hanna Barbarians back May 19th before heading to Dallas last week to play LaGrange with The Riverboat Gamblers.
How loud can they really be? Judge for yourself with this clip/performance from April 15th at Otto's Shruken Head in East Village - New York.
