PRESS RELEASE:

From meager means to mounting momentum, the past 7 years have spelled nothing but progress for Austin-outfit Vinyl Dharma. The band’s knack for pouring layered electronica atop sultry vocals – presented by lead singer Johnny Dharma – amounts to an epic live show of pulsing, dance-inducing electronica. Outfitted with a strong array of ringers, such as “The Sunshine Rave,” the band’s launch from idyllic South Texas to coveted main stages in “the live music capital of the world,” Austin, Texas, has been a journey of inventiveness and personal poise.

Reviving the new wave drawl of New Order, as well as melding elements of bands like The Beatles, Radiohead, Doves, The Cure and Depeche Mode Vinyl Dharma’s sound has a clear air of electricity. With the upcoming release of their new album, "The Greater Perfect System," and a sweeping victory at MTV2's On the Rise Contest, Vinyl Dharma is a band with newfound success and boundless prospects.

Upon winning the MTV2 contest, the band impressed the major music channel and decided to visit Austin to film the band's live performance at Stubb's and capture the essence of their daily lives for on-air promos. The on-air promos are expected to air nationwide as MTV2 features "Austin Week" December 22, 2008.

TAOB NOTES: The original members of Vinyl Dharma are said to be all of Brownsville Texas and began practicing as a garage band since Lopez High School later reforming the band to today's members and have achieved an impressive growing star status that many dream of.... I personally have seen this band play several times at the local Shenanigan's Irish Pub. I think they are a great band that rocks, and totally dig their music...... Check out the myspace and listen to Vinyl Dharma........

Very True and Wise, but if We as Artists / Painters Do not even care For Ourselves, who will.?

I wonder If Vinnyl D'Harma Got Its Influence By the " Los Tigres del Norte "?

who says we don't care for ourselfs...to a point that is the problem...if you want to consider it one

Anonymous said...

Right, We do, and I trully Believe that Us artists /painters need to be More mature and open a gallery ourselves.

Anonymous said...

OK, wow, you goy the 100K needed to get a place and get it ready as a functioning gallery? And how will it be managed, insured, keep the books, pay the bills, play politics.....

Anonymous said...

I Believe That the Texas Endownment for the Arts , is Willing to Help a Group of Artists / painters Whom Will Take the Challenge of Running a Gallery.

Is That for Real ?

Anonymous said...

yes, but it requires much paperwork, organization, documentation, and justification. everyone out there wants it for free, so they beg and that is where the problem is; too many people asking for something which gives the commision a hard time
