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.

#DOMA25 Wrap Up [REVIEW]

Review + Photos by: Taylor Prater

And we’re back! Dallas Observer Music Awards Showcase 2013 returned this week and brought with it a ton of bands we all know and love from around the metroplex. I don’t know about you guys, but it seems like it was only yesterday DOMA 2012 was here.
Picking out who to see was particularly tough with certain venues this go around, but I think we seemed to manage well enough. There’s just so much local music love to give.

Seriously, what's all The Phuss?

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.
