New E3 Bio Posted

The new Exit380.org has continued to facelift as our updated band biography was posted yesterday (see: "About Me" page). Personally, I am happy to see our musical ambiguity has finally been transposed into literary ambiguity.

See below:

  In the spring of 1999, spawned by an insidious need for attention; Exit 380 began its crawl in the wet streets of Denton, Texas from acoustic two-piece bar schlock to the more sprint ready five-headed alternative act wrought with electrified instruments. Best known in the North Texas region for its 11 years of rock and roll pandering, the band has begun to wear a new tread into its heel by hitchhiking down a more swamp laden, alt-country road.
  Late nights, loud tirades and long winding tire sessions have honed five individuals into a hand-wrench diesel engine complete with minimal banter and maximum thrust. The formulaic live standards are lightly adhered to in the club setting and even less so within the studio; recording without the use of a net.
  Standing on the frayed edges of alternative music Exit 380 has been well received by media types; quantified by accolades, interviews, reviews and general press niceties. Swimming in an ever changing sea of styles this is an act that stays fresh by keeping its toes in different waters.

Check Out our New Official Website - www.exit380.org

In the midst of getting the Townies material fleshed out for studio work, the band has been busy on a couple more projects too. Last week we released our "Moonshiner Run" video from James Villa (El Villa Films), and this week our old, rickety www.exit380.org got a huge retool; starting that sucker over from scratch.

The site is revamped with new music, pictures, videos, blogs, mailing lists, street team, bios and more. It is synched to all of our various social media and download sites to get you lined out with the latest e3 news, tweets, posts, likes, and updates.

Don't take my word for it...use your right finger to make that 'click' sound.

Exit 380 on "Kelsey Grammer Live" HD TV Show TONIGHT



I'll be doing a call-in interview tonight from 9-11pm (Central Time) to the Los Angeles based TODHD / On-Demand Tv show "Kelsey Grammer Live". It is setup so that the audience can chime into the host via the todhd.com chatroom to ask questions to the various guests. This broadcast will be featured by Impulse Magazine for Men and I am assuming they'll be asking me about manly magazine type things (i.e. colognes, v-necks, and leather shoes). Also, Exit 380 should be tied in there too.

So, click up, log on, fire up a DVR or web in your phone tonight and let's see what happens.

Last Week to DONATE TO DOWNLOAD "Moonshiner Run" for ASCC Now!

Thanks to all who have already supported Artists Supporting Cure For Cancer Now by downloading "Moonshiner Run"! ASCC Now is closing up the digital shop on the track this week, so if you haven't grabbed it yet, then this will be your last chance as the band won't be re-releasing the song for purchase until it is physically pressed with the full length Townies.

Press Clips (ASCC Now) Donate To Download:
Dallas Observer's Music Editor Pete Freedman posted an article for the program and even commented on the track via-DC9 At Night saying, "The song...is among the best offerings we've yet heard from the band."
DFW.com Pop Music Critic Preston Jones also contributed to the cause by posting this in their Music Blog.


Video Sidenote:
Exit 380 wrapped shooting for the "Moonshiner Run" video last weekend in Fort Worth and we are excited about this one. It was filmed by James Villa, one of the most talented local photographers, and initial rough cuts of the footage have looked great! So, we will have a video release to stream online in the coming weeks!

HD Net Music Discovery Television series has been airing our "Alexander Stone" and "Run For The Gold" alongside some great national and local DFW artists, so set your DVR and perhaps "Moonshiner Run" will make an on-air debut in the near future.

Shooting "Moonshiner Run" Video & Lyrics

This weekend the band will be celebrating Patriot Day by linking up w/ our favorite photographer James Villa to shoot a live action concept video for our newest Townies track "Moonshiner Run". Villa's still photography has been integral over the last few years to our visual presentations; (see below) "The Broken House Session", "The Life & Death Of Mr. & Mrs. Alexander Stone", "Guillitine Clothing", and "Cities Townies", as well as, various live shots from DFW venues. So, we're excited to see how his art will translate onto a moving picture!


We'll be shooting the scenes in and around the Stockyards and Downtown Fort Worth hoping some Cowtown flavor will drip onto the final cut. It should be ready for posting in the next couple of weeks...Stay tuned!

LYRICS: "Moonshiner Run"

Get a move on boy!
Them feet they move like stone.
Don't ya drop that jug.
Johnny Law's among us....

Moonshiner run. Don't ya leave that gun.

Runnin', runnin', runnin' through the swamps and fields.
You know we're runnin', runnin', runnin' through the trees and hills.

Get a move on boy!
It's time to leave them toys.
Ma won't feed ya son.
If you don't get to Mount Glenn...

Moonshiner run. Don't ya leave that gun.
Ya need to trust me son.
For this Moonshiner Run.

Runnin', runnin', runnin' through the swamps and fields.
You know we're runnin', runnin', runnin' through the trees and hills.
Come on "faster, faster, faster" till ya come unhinged.
Ya know "come on, come on" two more miles to go.

Moonshiner run. Don't ya leave that gun.
Ya need to trust me son.
For this Moonshiner Run.
