Style, Talent and Life Changes....Every local band has some, all or none of these throughout their existence. The Burning Hotels have filled each column to the brim in the decade or so they’ve been playing in DFW and all over the U.S. 

From putting together their defining lineup and creating their own brand of music described as “Sex Punk”, local to national recognition, marriages, children, losing and gaining members, reorganizing and retooling their sound as more “Post Punk Electronica”... to blending it perfectly back into their original catalog....The columns of Style, Talent and Life Changes? THEY HAVE FILLED THEM....and that has made this band even more important to the Fort Worth Music Scene and the D-DFW music scene at large.

By coming to see them, along with the The Cut Throat Finches at Lola’s Saloon-FWTX on June 9th....The column of “pure musical satisfaction” will most certainly be filled for you.

Provecho,

Lola’s

Hear and feel the progression...

Band from Mali has survived political instability and even abduction in its homeland to make its most accessible album yet.

Dallas musician W.A. Fite (who, ahem, is a musical pseudonym for Exit 380's Dustin Blocker) has been, according to a note that just landed in my in-box, "teasing ears with his destitute brand of organ-gaze retro synth." (I won't even begin to try and unpack precisely what that means.)

Nevertheless, also included was a link to the James Villa-directed video for Fite's first single, Western in A, from his forthcoming debut album Poisoning the Medicine Tree (due out March 28 on Hand Drawn Records). It's an appealing gritty clip that functions a micro travelogue of the DFW area as well as providing an interesting contrast with the decidedly electronic impulses of Fite's tune (which, yes, that's Blocker you glimpse in the video; this is pretty far afield from Exit 380's more straight-ahead rawk). The director's synopsis says "the song is a trek into the composer's past, recalling the loss of an early love for an equally beleaguered run at making music for a living."
