Featuring Music Artists:
RTB2
http://www.myspace.com/rtb2rtb2
...a volatile duo from Denton, TX with a multi-disciplinary sound that spans across a vast musical spectrum.
From roots music to abstract progressive rock to soul to ambient soundscapes, you become contently spellbound with a colorful musical aftertaste by a sound much greater than the sum of its parts (live shows: vocals, guitar, and drums). Ryan and Grady intermittently played in bands together for seven years before developing this project. Birthed in 2005, RTB2 has released two EPs and a full-length, and they have toured Texas and the Midwest. Their current release, In the Fleshed (EP), is an eclectic piece of experimental folk rock. It was recorded at home and mixed by Justin Collins in Denton, TX and also appropriately captures the sound expected from RTB2's live set.

KatsüK
AN OUT OF THIS WORLD-BEAT TRIBAL FOLK ROCK EXPERIENCE!!!
KatsüK is a mesmerizing emotive musical experience that can silence a room or turn it upside down. From heavy tribal rhythms to folk to rock to reggae to funk and combined with engaging and conscious lyrics to soaring native flutes and orchestral movements, KatsüK is a genre chameleon and truly a unique and deeply impact-full musical anomaly.
Featuring: Daniel Katsük (lead vocals, native flutes, guitar & soul glo), Jeff Dahlgren (producer/guitarist of world renowned, singer Mylene Farmer, vocals & quantum mechanics), Nick Werth (3 time national quad champion, drums, vibraphone & avalanches), Matt Skates (stand-up/electric bass & bazooka), and Orion Pitts (violin, percussion, vocals & hypnotism).
The highly anticipated EP – Skeleton Key was recently released this January 2010.
Based out of Ft. Worth TX, KatsüK is one of the most respected and eclectic groups in the region harboring a devout and enthusiastic following. It is an unforgettable soul stirring experience that will leave you forever changed and incredibly moved; which led one fan to comment: "The orgasm we have been waiting for!"
Music with substance, both timeless and borderless.

Grassfight one of NBC-DFW's "Four Bands You Must See at NX35"
"This Denton foursome recently supported the Starlight Mints -- they'll keep contending with bigger-name indie-pop bands as their sound further polishes itself. If you still adore Interpol, Grassfight's hypnotic bass lines and crowd-friendly hooks -- a study of Joy Division and the Cure as much as the work of the New York band -- will carve the Denton band's name into your head in some slick, sans-serif font."
