Mount Righteous/Fanfarlo Featured on Dallas Does Indie


Those dang kids and their new-fangled things-a-ma-jiggies! Why, just a few years ago, they came up with those... what do you call them... telephones. Now them kids is walkin' about with phones in their POCKET! Their pocket, I say! And can you believe those fancy-pants radios? The new ones show all those moving-pictures, and are bigger than the front door! All this new technological business is just getting out of hand.

Okay, well, maybe technology is all over the place, but while some may protest, I'm certainly not! If you're up with the latest technological trends out there, podcasts are probably old news to you. For a quick review for those still in the dark shade, let me explain: a podcast is essentially a show produced by someone out there on the wide world of the internet. It contains whatever they choose to record on the podcast (music, interviews, talking, what have you), and is then uploaded to the internet for your divulging pleasures. It gets the name "podcast," as you can easily upload these PODcasts to your iPOD. Get it?

Now, if you've also been hiding in the dark, there may have been a couple other things you might have missed. I'd hate for those musically inclined to have missed something so grand, but if you're not up to date with your North Texan musicians, you better catch wind of Mount Righteous. They're the most eclectic thing to happen since Architecture In Helsinki, and probably tie with I'm From Barcelona for absolute jovialness. They're fantastic! There's also Fanfarlo, a certain little band from London who also plays their own style of chipper music. Finally, they're about to release their debut album! As exciting as that may be, that's not what this article is about.

The fact is, Dallas Does Indie, Mount Righteous, and Fanfarlo have now been mixed in a wonderful pot of awesome! This week, Jasien Swords opens up the Dallas Does Indie podcast with Mount Righteous' "Licorice Night," from their debut LP When The Music Starts. Then, the feature band this week on the Dallas Does Indie podcast is Fanfarlo! How can it possibly get better? Well, you could possibly be listening to DDI presented by the HD channel The Indieverse here in the D-FW Metroplex - for free right now!
