with Waterstrider, Purple Mountains Majesties Everybody’s A Good Dog is the first true realization of Shaun Fleming’s Little Shop of Horrors -meets-Aladdin Sane vision, recorded in a proper studio with an assortment of guest artists, horn section, and string ensemble (all firsts for Fleming). The resulting 11 tracks are a sky-scraping sound kaleidoscope, touched with euphoric instrumentation and dark lyricism. Just as Diane Coffee’s debut LP, 2013’s ‘My Friend Fish,’ was inspired by Fleming’s move from sunny California to New York City, Everybody’s A Good Dog took shape after this former Disney child actor and current drummer for Foxygen uprooted again from NYC to the much smaller town of Bloomington, IN “spontaneous moves have always helped to inspire my writing” he explains. This downsizing provided Fleming with a blank slate to create “I missed the quiet. I missed having a fire. I missed the color green.”The songs on Everybody’s A Good Dog capture this sense of clarity, channeling the New York Dolls or T-Rex at their strutting-est and Meatloaf at his most theatrical, with shades of Motown-worthy soul. The gentle psychedellia on opener “Spring Breathes” gives way to a pounding prog breakdown, “Mayflower” leads with a monster funk-fueled horn riff, while on “Tams Up” Fleming fronts his own one-man doo-wop group.

Till Dawn Group Presents: Dirty South @ Sutra Lounge
Aug 19 @ 3:30 pm – 3:30 pm

Click Here for Pre-Sale   Guest List Free until 10:30  Guest List Subject to Change This Event is 21+   Dirty South Dirty South, aka Dragan Roganovic, the world renowned DJ, two- time Grammy nominated producer and global festival headliner, is set to challenge every conventional mold of a musical release with his newest album and short-film project, entitled ‘With You.’ A full-sensory experience, ‘With You’ shatters the model of modern-day music with its genre-bending collaborations and resplendent imagery. There are no limits for the Serbian pioneer as he redefines the notion of what it means to be a music producer.See the album. Hear the movie. What began as the writings of a new, alternatively-driven album resulted in more than just a series of perfectly-strewn melodies; a hidden narrative lived between the lines of each individual track, and Dirty South was set to tell it. Enter ‘With You’, the identically named short film project written, directed and produced by Dirty South himself. Yet again challenging any notion of conventionality, the album serves as more than just a soundtrack to the film: it is the very backbone of all that is ‘With You’. Shot using the same revolutionary filming equipment as ‘300’ and ‘Transformers,’ ‘With You’ breathes new life to its dark forests, secluded lakes, and echoing tunnel scenes.
