the dotmatrix project

What is this Rockabilly-thing? Is that the devil’s music?! Maybe. It’ll definitely make you scream, hoop, and holler like your soul’s on fire! If you don’t believe me, just listen to some of The Tremors. Self-described as one-third Greensboro, one-third Burlington and one-third Hell, Jimmy Tremor, Slim Perkins and Stretch Armstrong will make you believe.

For the tenth installment of the dotmatrix project, we were fortunate enough to capture a sampling of the Hell-raising hits they make together. That was back at the end of January. Even though it was a bit cold outside, it was nice and hot next to the DMP stage that night!

In case you don’t believe me (or somehow don’t remember), you can check out the pictures from that evening on the DMP photostream. Or you can check out the video on vimeo . Oh yeah, and you can listen to the live album on Amie Street.  To make the whole process a whole lot easier for you on Amie Street, here’s our promo entrance page to sign up for an account and receive free money to support our local artists by putting coin directly in their pockets.  (It should be on Last.fm before long. You can check back here for the link when that happens.)

The Tremors have been a staple in the Greensboro music scene much longer than the four years I’ve been in town. It isn’t too hard to see why, huh?

Rock and roll, baby.

Look for the album to drop soon on both Last.fm and Amie Street.

The sci-fi sound of ETI’s name gets a boost from this photo…

…where James Marshall Owen appears to be transported by the music.

A different perspective on ETI, as Alex has Matty Sheets apparently getting ready to go right through the camera.

SAD was our first headline act way back in April of last year and it looks like they’ve got a new fan video.

Great song.

James, Eric, Matt and John don’t play out much more — they’re working on a final studio album before hanging up their SAD hats — but I’m pretty sure they’ll be at Tir Na Nog this Thursday night in Raleigh. I’ll confirm in a few…

[Confirmed]

Hope to see you out.

The wait is over, folks. DMP is proud to release the highly anticipated album The Bronzed Chorus Live at the dotmatrix project.

We thank Elizabeth Lemon for capturing the moment you see on the album cover. You can find more great pics from that evening on Flickr.

The Amie Street album is currently available for only $0.90 (now that’s a steal)! Hurry and grab this little treasure. That price can’t possibly last for too long.

It’s been an exciting couple of months for the dotmatrix project. We’ve had two fantastic shows, and one long-awaited album release. The excitement continues as DMP is proud to release Hammer No More The Fingers Live at the dotmatrix project.

We thank Jessi Hagood for the great photo. We felt it was perfect for the album cover. You can find more great pics from that evening on Flickr.

The Amie Street album is currently available for only $0.99 (less than a dime per song)! This price can’t possibly last for long. You know you want it!
