I got an email from my friend Maggie Ferndandez with a link. “Nothing dirty” she warns. Oh, well.
Dirty South TV is a web only music network with 1200 channels and twenty hours a day of music on their own network.
From 7p – 11p they have “Live Sessions From the Dirty South” -which I guess lives up to its name.
Lotsa unsigned acts.
They go to local clubs and record live.
But otherwise I am completely confused as to what they are up to. Their “About” link is baffling. It’s like it is being written by people who gave up English in liu of jargon.
Here ‘s a taste: “It is written, carved in stone and smoke signaled that Dirty South TV will air music videos at least 20 hours per day, 365 days per year. The difference being that previously undiscovered Artists will be the main featured Artists on Dirty South TV (which IS a Music Video FIRST), with recognized Artists videos only filling in. Once the Dirty South TV’s Studio bursts at the seams with “New” Artists Videos they will be broken down into specific classifications”
Dirty South TV are aiming to get on cable and over the air but they haven’t yet.
Anyway here is how DSTV dumb it down for us: “Dirty South TV is an independent music television network dedicated to bringing the best live original-independent music to viewers all over the world. Based in Atlanta, DSTV regularly broadcasts from local venues and travels to broadcast from other cities and states as well” On what they don’t say.
And as for the artists?
About what you’d think swamp, R&B, deep south, southern rock -like that.
if it didn’t sound good I wouldn’t bother, of course.
Oh, and it is pay to play.
