Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The girls of Tyler's Eisley plopped themselves in front of a webcam last week to film the above clip, in which viewers can see the Sisters DuPree mocking their missing brother and cousin, pretending to smoke pot, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas (and/or Happy Birthday), and thanking their fans for being patient as they await the group's next full-length. And they, like, so promise this time that they're really close this time, guys. No reason to believe they aren't, though. When we heard from lead vocalist Stacy back in November, the conversation centered around the band expecting to be super busy in 2010.
Turns out, though, the group got started a little early: Last week, on Christmas Eve, the band posted the above clip on its Web site and released a free download of its cover of "Oh Holy Night," which is still available for download here. It's actually a pretty gorgeous rendition, centering around Stacy's delicate, soothing vocals. Worth a download, for sure, even if your cold, black heart is already well past giving a crap about Christmas.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
