DALLAS, TX, March 19th, 2013 – The 4th Annual HomeGrown Festival is proud to release the initial round of bands with Texas ties including our headliner Divine Fits, and joined by Larry g(EE), The Burning Hotels, Madison King, Zhora, Quiet Company, and J Charles and the Trainrobbers. The next round of news will be released on April 2, 2013.
DIVINE FITS. The mind meld of Britt Daniel (Texas native and frontman of Spoon) and Dan Boeckner (Wolf Paradeand The Handsome Furs), dubbed Divine Fits, has become one of the most promising collaborations to emerge in a long time. Both of these musicians have separately grown to be regarded as two of the most talented songwriters in the indie world and now the product of their combined talents has manifested in their debut album A Thing Called Divine Fits. http://divinefits.com/
LARRY G(EE). Dallas, TX based Larry g(EE)’s debut EP, Weekends, showcases a strutting blend of funk, silky soul and smart pop melodies that become irresistibly lodged in your brain. Weekends will give listeners a jolt – a burst of life affirming, beautifully rendered music that evokes the past, even as it is firmly rooted in the present.http://www.larry-gee.com/
THE BURNING HOTELS. Fort Worth, TX based Burning Hotels have created their own distinctively pop and oblique brand of music. Make no mistake about it; this is no stab at a trend. This is Pop music. The songs sound exactly as the band wants them to… Full of energy with electronic textures, danceable rhythms and catchy hooks. http://burninghotels.net/music/
