Dovetail Named #3 “Band You Don’t Want To Miss At SXSW” On BuzzFeed!
Sending over a big thank you to BuzzFeed user JamSpreader for naming Dovetail their #3 “Band You Don’t Want To Miss” at SXSW! Here’s what they had to say:
“If The Beatles, The Byrds, and The Beach Boys were all thrown in a blender, put on frappe, and topped off with a dash of Muse and the slightest hint of Queen, you’d have yourself a Dovetail. Dynamic vocals and superb instrumentals make these Texans one HELL of a band that every rock ‘n’ roll lover should see.”
Dovetail joins acts like Jackknife Stiletto, Moon Taxi, The Orwells, Deap Vally, and…Kelis? Check out the full list here, and don’t forget to download your copy of Ok! Good Record’s official SXSW sampler here!
“Big City” Lyrics:
“Sunshine,
Wise me up to your ways
Start me off with just your name
I guessed & called you Desiree
You’re turnin’ into Sunny
Either way you’re just a kid
And I’ve seen you on the boulevard
The world can wait, just slow down
Big city, slow down and let go
And when you let go, and everything is lost
You got a lot
Sunset,
She’s lighting up a cigarette
The visionary strategist
She’s pickin’ out a costume dress
The win is in your smile, and kid
You give it to me every time
The world can wait, just slow down
Big city, slow down and let go
And when you let go, and everything is lost
You got a lot
Painted on a canvass
On an ordinary white
Sunny drew from memory
Her legacy in lights
And she let go
And when she let go
The image that showed
was the picture of heaven, the image of God
The world can wait, just slow down
Big city, slow down and let go
And when you let go, and everything is lost
You got a lot.”
