Downfall Rising

Our good friends in Downfall Rising are kinda in a tough spot. After having a killer couple of years, their lead singer up and quit. And while that sucks for them, it is a GREAT opportunity for you! DFR needs a new singer and that could be you!

There were a lot of great bands that played at this year's Smith & Forge Festapalooza, but I think the one that really just blew everyone away was Downfall Rising. They were at the Warehouse once and we just thought they'd be kinda cool to have on the line-up since they are a bunch of kids from East Texas/South Louisiana. They just blew us away with their awesome set! Hopefully, we'll be seein

A lot of folks have been calling, Facebooking, Tweeting, etc. begging us for details on this year's edition of Festapalooza. Well, it looks like the cat is out of the bag -- at least partially. Downfall Rising, a regional band from Lufkin, slipped up and announced that they'll be playing this year's Festapalooza a little bit early.
