DALLAS, TX-

“The day started at noon with Bastards of Soul, who delivered a fierce one-two punch of Chadwick Murray’s soulful vocals and the irresistible energy of a band rounded out by a horn section (check them out here and here). Earlier that week, Rhett Miller remarked that “the highlight of this show might be the very first band” — no faint compliment in an immaculate festival lineup. Murray and bandmates — Daniel Balis (bass), Chad Stockslager (keys/vocals), Chris Holt (guitar/vocals), Matt Trimble (drums), Jeremy Sinclair (trumpet), and Jason Davis (saxophone) — recall Motown- and Stax-era greats, both in sonic stylings and their sharp suits. It’s downright insane that these guys haven’t yet released their first record, but it’ll surely be on heavy rotation when it arrives.”
