Listen to the DTE CD Release radio promo to hear samples of several songs and listen for the Suited Productions plug at the end.
Now, I might have a biased opinion because Dremnt the End (DTE) is a long time client of mine. But, I’ve also become good friends with everyone in the band and it’s inspiring to be around people who love what they do SO much.
These songs make you want to move yo’ body
I have probably burned more calories jumping up and down at Dremnt the End concerts, than I ever have on a treadmill. Having already built a loyal fan base out of hometown, Austin, Texas, Dremnt the End does not disappoint in the music category. Their sound is distinct, fresh and fun. It lifts you off the ground and leaves you chanting for more.
A great live set
It’s so disappointing to pay $10 to see a band and then realize that they have zero stage presence and sound nothing like their over produced record. Not the case with Dremnt the End. DTE’s live show is so full of energy and enthusiasm, it’s no wonder their fan base has quickly grown, exponentially, across the southern region as they have played with such national acts as Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (Virgin), Scary Kids Scaring Kids (Immortal), June (Victory), Meriwether (Suretone/Interscope), The Panic Division (Militia Group), The Finalist (Maverick), Family Force 5 (Maverick/Gotee), Luna Halo (American), 32 Leaves, Fair to Midland (Universal), Showbread, Alesana (Fearless), Tyler Read (Immortal) and Ivoryline (Tooth and Nail), to name a few. This has given the four members of Dremnt the End a chance to further hone their skills and craft, all the while connecting with fans on a semi-national level. There new album comes out TOMORROW (Nov. 30, 2007)!
The great songs keep coming
When Marcus Federman started looking to put a band together in March of 2004, he placed numerous ads, trying to find skilled musicians that would be able to create a new sound and quickly topple the Austin music scene. After several failed attempts, he was introduced to Andrew Martin, an aspiring guitar player out of Houston, Texas, whose father’s worked together. It was instantly a fit, as the music just started flowing. Marcus and Andrew knew that they needed a tight-knit rhythm section and wanted a bassist and drummer who were completely in synch with one another. At a jam session, one night in Austin, Stuart Rasso and Harrell Williams played together for the first time with Andrew and Marcus. They left the studio with three brand new, solid songs and haven’t stopped since.
Any publicity is good publicity
With songs featured regularly on Austin’s 101X and Houston’s 94.5 The Buzz, Dremnt the End is just touching the tip of the iceberg. My company, Suited Productions, has produced five music videos for Dremnt the End’s music with the newest (Part of Me) being released tomorrow (Nov. 30, 2007). These videos are in regular rotation on Music Entertainment Television and have been featured several times on “Red River Rocks” and will be on “Tex-Mix” tonight at 6pm and 9pm to promote their CD Release party. Dremnt the End has been featured on News 8 Austin by prominent DJ and Music Writer, Andy Langer. Their music has also been placed on television and in film. Most notably, CNBC’s “American Made” featuring three of DTE’s songs in four of their first episodes. DTE was also placed into Robin Nations’ movie, “The Water’s Edge.”
Spreading their dance rock revolution
After recording at the famed Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX, (home to At The Drive In) Dremnt the End is excited to see the response their fans give to their new self-titled album. Their previous EP, “Imagineering” has sold over 2,000 copies and their 3-song demo for “The Space We Invade” has sold over 2,000 copies. That coupled with an ever-expanding internet presence of over 12,000 fans on MySpace and hundreds more via other outlets, leaves Dremnt the End anxious to get back on the road, so that they can spread their Dance Rock Revolution.
Whew! That was a mouthful. Take a look at Dremnt the End’s MySpace profile to experience the awesomeness of Dremnt the End too. I’d love to hear what you think about their music, MySpace layout, music videos, etc. You can see the videos we’ve already released for DTE on their MySpace profile. I will release the new video late tonight or tomorrow morning, as soon as we are finished editing it.
Did I mention I really like Dremnt the End?

In the midst of a huge WGA strike, NBC is promoting its new web show, “Coastal Dreams,” rather frequently. I’ve seen an ad for this new web series in between every other NBC show I watch on their website. These ads appear, of course, during the hit shows I watch online. Of course, they are not paying their writers for those very episodes.
You would think that NBC would at least have the courtesy to produce a decent web series for us to watch. After all, they are cutting the rest of their seasons short. Unfortunately, NBC has decided that creating terrible web content supercedes keeping any of the great content they were already hosting on their network.
A Few Reasons Why Coastal Dreams is the Worst Web Series Ever:
NBC why are you doing this to us?
Maybe I have it all wrong. Perhaps, NBC knows exactly what they are doing. After all, now that there is no new programming (due to the WGA Strike) I have been forced to watch the first 5-episodes of Coastal Dreams (I refused to watch further). And even though I couldn’t make it past the first five, I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of 13-year olds that love the series. I can only imagine that they wish THEY could sip wine overlooking a beautiful beach. Most probably wouldn’t even care if their ex-boyfriend was out to kill them (the ridiculous Coastal Dreams plot).
I, honestly, expected NBC to put forth a little more effort in their first attempt at tackling a web series. The lack of production quality is obvious and it’s almost as if NBC is saying, “Hey you internet geeks, you’ll watch anything, so here’s some crap we came up with last week.” If NBC was serious about creating a compelling presence on the web, you would think that they might have put a little more thought into their first “web series.” Of course, I can’t really argue with them too much, they do have ALL of their other television series available online. I love that about NBC! I watch all of my NBC shows online! It’s too bad they’re not paying their writers for it.
Hopefully, NBC will change all of that soon. In the mean time, we’re all wondering what is inside that Coastal Dreams’ jewelry box?
I also found the above picture funny. It seems that Coastal Dreams couldn’t get Apple’s approval, so they just decided to put a flower in front of the Apple logo every time it was in frame. Apple loves seeing itself places. Are you telling me that Coastal Dreams is so bad that Apple passed on what was probably a free product placement?
NBC please pay your writers what they’re worth. I’m not sure how long I will remain a fan.
For future reference, Clark and Michael have given a great example of what a web series should look and feel like. If I’m not mistaken, CBS sponsored them. I think NBC should follow suit.
P.S. NBC shows I love:
What shows do you love on television? What shows do you think are making a buzz online? Do you watch most of your media online or through another format? Am I way off base here, or do you think that online video webisodes deserve the same attention as network shows?
