To my surprise, one of my favorite artists from What The Heck Fest was Stephen Steinbrink . What astonished me was the clean and focused nature of this group's pop music. And I only caught a single song, which I believe was the peaceful beauty of "Breath Of Fire" or maybe it was "A Set Of Hours".

It's been a minute since Mount Righteous played a show that was both local AND in a club, but that changes tonight with the return of the bigger/meaner/louder Mt. Righteous 2.0 tonight at Rubber Gloves in Denton. French Quarter, Hell-Kite, and Parata round out the nice little bill. Should be a good one. Check it out and buy the SubEx crew a round of $1 PBR's while you're at it. =w=
