We caught up with our good friends Colourmusic , who opened for Colour Revolt . Texans Dignan kicked off the night, Colourmusic brought the noise, and Colour Revolt left everyone happy. And when we say Colourmusic brought the noise, we mean it. Colourmusic was about as loud as we can remember anyone ever being at Emo's, and that is saying a lot. Earplugs were complaining to the management. It was awesome. Click the link for pictures. Fun night. Getting [...]

![[Festivals] Fareveller Music Festival March 24-26 in Memphis](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3305373_lg.jpg)
In 2011, those familiar might think a city with a wealth of musical history and significance such as Memphis would tout an equally wealthy list of music festivals and gatherings. There are at several notables that each have broad appeal - Goner Records' annual Gonerfest , the Folk Alliance International Conference which takes place every February, and the Beale Street Music Festival every May all come to mind. But Brandon Herrington - a Memphis native & member of local band This Is Goodbye - could see that something was missing. [...]

At the end of the day, it's your ability to craft a song that allows you to make an indelible impact. Hailing from McAllen, Texas Dignan craft songs that are so delicate and beautiful, that you barely realize that they've entered your consciousness and will never leave you. Andy Pena: Lead Vocals/Guitar, Devin Garcia: Bass Guitar, Heidi Plueger: Keyboard/Vocals, David Palomo: Aux Instruments/Vocals are creating music that is equal parts perfect songwriting and passionate performance. Andy took some time in the midst of their current tour to share the life of an emerging band that should earn [...]
Date Sunday, August 29th Location Mohawk Doors 1000p Tickets $? at the door It seems that Texas' Dignan has been rocking around the state for years and years, and we've grown quite fond of their explorative alternative rock. Their newest tunes show a great deal of attention being given to every minor detail, which works out great for the group's [...]
Helicopters | photo by Patti Faran And now three I-could-never-tell-which-robot s-were-good-and-which-were-bad -in-Transformers reasons to throw on your short shorts and skip on over to the Subterranean this evening... 1. Headlining the show is Chicago electro-indie outfit Helicopters . The band uses tight, rhythmic riffage to power their tunes, but their arrangements end up sounding quite expansive through synthesizer swell and computerized blips. Tracks like "Emergency", which can be heard on their Myspace , transform mid-way from an off-kilter guitar line to a warm digitized bridge. Although their tracks are definitely sleek [...]

By now, you're probably a bit overwhelmed with the South by Southwest party announcements. But just for the sake of some more fun (and options), we decided to throw our weight behind one more day party. So, we teamed up with the awesome music websites Elbo.ws and The Music Slut for Body Parts. (Get it... Sound = ear; Elbo.ws = elbow; Slut = um...) And the best part is the lineup is as good as the name. On Wednesday, March 17th, aka the first official of the music component of SXSW 2010, we'll round up - drum roll [...]

Dignan - Two Steps Nästan så långt söder ut man kan komma i Texas ligger den lilla staden McAllen med dess c:a hundratusen invånare. Fem av dessa har valt att starta ett band tillsammans som heter Dignan och musiken de spelar är mycket harmonisk folkrock och bjuder på någon sorts musik, som låten Two Steps från EP:n Cheaters & Thieves .
Today Im posting something a little different than the pulsing Electro beats that usually grace this page. It was a bone chilling 19 degrees when I woke up this morning, and it doesn't seem to be getting any warmer. Fortunately, we were sent some tunes from a band called Dignan today. They're perfect listening for a cold day when all you want to do is retreat home to stay warm. Dignan is composed of five friends from Mcallen Texas. They are the product of the two original members spending many a long night staying up in a church [...]
This week I'm going to hitch a ride with one of the local bands I've been hott on this year, This Piano Plays Itself , for their first ever tour and blog from the road. For everyone else who is chilling in the city this week, there are some great shows that you should go to: Tomorrow night I recommend going to The Earl to see The NEC, Sic Alps, Suitcases, Hawks . Sic Alps : [...]
Dignan is a little bit different from other bands I've heard. Rather than stick to one generic sound or one generic mood, these guys take it to another level, that is, a level of realness that one rarely has the courage to display or enter into. This is sacred territory, and sometimes and oftentimes it isn't very pretty, happy, or elevating. But it is honest. These are the kind of lyrics this five-member band creates on They're Outnumbered , "We're slaves to our worst fears, if our secrets are revealed, we'll sink deeper and deeper and still you [...]
