“Dallas band and MTV favorite The Bright shines onstage”

“Who’s got the groove? Some bands on the Dallas Rocks! showcase at House of Blues do — and some don’t”

“SXSW 2012: Dallas' The Bright dreams up a beguiling show at Bar Louie Julie Lange likes to pour on the drama. Her stage gestures flow and slam creating a beguiling hybrid of angelic songstress and devilish temptress. And when her voice soars the combination takes the song to a higher level. That was particularly the case during the two closing numbers, "Charmed" and "Diving for Stars," a pair of tour-de-force performances.”

“The Bright, fronted by TCU grad Julie Lange and fresh off its appearance on "Big D NYE," is preparing to release the follow-up to the sextet's debut In Lucid Dreams. This self-funded sophomore album, recorded at Bass Propulsion Laboratories, debuted at a live "listening party" at Jack's Backyard in Dallas, where the band played the record in its entirety and polled the audience to select the first single.”

“Dreamy melodies layered over rock rhythms and pop hooks. There’s an international flair, definitely a British rock ambience that mingles with an American pop punch.Origin of that sound: “All of us are absolutely enamored with British rock because it has a little more exploration to it, and the dreaminess comes in,” Curtis says before mentioning Cocteau Twins, Radiohead , the Police, the Cars, Elbow and Pink Floyd as major influences. “That is a common bond, the wash-all-over-you sound, the airiness.” “Each of us has a niche we enjoy in that broad spectrum of British rock ’n’ roll,” Lange says. “If you take one person out of this band, it would change the sound of this band.””

“Arlington band the Bright toast the release of its second full-length CD Pop-rock hooks and sprinkles of dreamy pixie dust characterize the Bright. The six-member Arlington band, composed of singer Julie Lange, drummer Robert Yahne, keyboardist Eric Jenkins, guitarists Kell Curtis and Taylor Tatsch, and bassist Miguel Fair, is ready to unveil its second full-length disc, Objects of My Affection, which follows 2008’s debut, In Lucid Dreams. Buoyed by tracks such as “Charmed,” “Deep Fall” and “How I Feel,” Objects of My Affection should keep the Bright in the local spotlight for a long spell. Catch the band onstage Friday night at House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St., Dallas. The music starts at 8:30 with opener David Dunn. Tickets are $16.77 through Live Nation.”
