Crib Notes

After touring extensively behind their 2005 release, Electrified the flashy and flamboyant Elephant 6 descendants Dressy Bessy took some time off. During the down time, vocalist / guitar player Tammy Ealom penned a whole new bunch of songs that bring the group’s blend of ultra-vibrant power pop tones full circle to embrace driving rhythms and organic simplicity.

For this round, Ealom began with the drums, and after banging out a few keepers at home, she built melodies around them, and constructed the completed songs from there, which culminate on Dressy Bessy’s fifth album, Holler and Stomp, due out Sept. 30^th on Transdreamer.

Dressy Bessy will be passing through town to play Smith’s Olde Bar on Tues., Oct. 7^th. Click below to read more tour dates.
