An Indie / New Wave Band From Fort Worth,Texas
Black Tie Dynasty was taking a bold step in a new direction. Focused and confident, BTD is prepared to release their most ambitious work. Their latest album, Down Like Anyone transcended all expectations and fully realizeed the bands potential as one on the cutting edge of innovation, prepared to make vital contributions to the world of music. Honing their sound for over seven years, the Texas quartet’s signature style was rich and distinct as each song soared with epic grandeur and genuine passion. Teeming with visceral urgency Cory Watson’s emotive lyrics soared over platinum guitar riffs and Brian McCorquodale’s hook-heavy synths. Blake McWhorter’s pulsating bass lines and Eddie Thomas’ boundless precision on drums transformed any observant crowd into a dance party. Having toured extensively throughout the U.S., their commanding live performance wo over fans and critics alike. Their debut album Movements (2005) received thousands of spins on commercial and college radio with its’ first two singles “Tender” and “I Like U”. To date, Movements has sold more than 10,000 copies worldwide.

Regrettably, they've decided to break up. They'll be playing their final show March 28th. http://www.last.fm/event/915666 This is sad, just when I thought they were on the verge of making a bigger name for themselves.
