The Southern Sea plays melody-wrapped indie rock for the people. With influences as vast as the state they call home, The Southern Sea keep crafting sixties-influenced sci-folk for anyone that will take the time to listen. What is sci-folk you ask? Well...who the heck knows. I guess it's just as good a genre description as indie-rock, dream-pop, slo-core, lo-fi or indie-pop. Try to meld the vocal harmonies from the sixties with some synthesizers, a Rhodes piano, a theremin, an organ, a xylophone, an omnichord, guitars, drums and simple songwriting and you might get close.
The band has two self-recorded EPs (Nina and the Wrong Note and the more recent Simple Machines for Complex Problems); two compilations (one of which was released by Velvet Blue Music, once home to great bands like the Lassie Foundation, Bloomsday, Fine China, LN, etc); and songs played on college radio stations like KTCU 88.7 FM (Fort Worth, Texas), KNTU 88.1 FM (Denton, Texas), and RCS 107.2 FM (somewhere in Spain).
If you're interested, patient and local you can catch The Southern Sea at music venues all over the Dallas metroplex like the Gypsy Tea Room, Trees, Rubber Gloves, Hailey's, The Wreck Room, The Cavern, Curtain Club, Liquid Lounge, Club Clearview and Double Wide. They've shared the stage with some of the best bands in Texas, including Pleasant Grove, Midlake, The Theater Fire and Comet.

Redefining the Disfranchised: The Political Art of Nina Allender As we continue to celebrate the 88th Anniversary of Women's Right to Vote, there's a prime opportunity to view influential art from the era. Nina Evans Allender drew political cartoons for The Suffragist from 1914 into the 1920s, transforming stereotypical views of who a suffragist was. Over the years, Allender contributed more than 250 political cartoons to the movement, a number of which are on display at the Women's Museum at Fair Park. More info
