These tracks are mostly practice demos and live recordings performed by The Sea of Cortez, a band I played in from 2003-2011 in Charlotte, NC. The tracks I've posted I recently discovered on an old hard drive, and I've also linked to studio mixes of some other SOC tunes. The demos were recorded with room mics as a reference to remember the arrangement and individual parts with the goal of developing the song further. At least two of them were written the night they were demo'd and never performed again. It's nice to run across some long-lost songs, and I'll probably add more of them plus some live tracks as time goes on. The linked studio mixes were recorded live at the Fidelitorium in Kernersville, NC, with minimal overdubs and mixing done at Sioux Sioux studio in Charlotte. The studio mixes I've posted myself (Sam the Lion and Walker Texas Ranger) were tracked and mixed in full at Sioux Sioux. Hopefully at some point all the studio mixes (there are more) will be mastered and released. RIP Rodney Lanier. Enjoy.  
  

Dirty South Revolutionaries came together in the winter of 2004 in Charlotte, Nc. Each member had been
in other high-profile local bands  based out of the queen city, but none had found their real niche in the
scene before DSR.
In February 2005  DSR went to The Milestone, a
favorite local club, to watch American Distress. After bumming the band's equipment for an impromptu
after-show set, DSR took American Distress to a typical Charlotte after party at the South Side Punx house. Apparently, one night of their antics and a short demo was all it would take to convince Tent City Records that a recording session was in order. Six months later their first album was rendered. Birthed of the
eclectic influences of DSR's unique members, spawned from the filthy streets of Charlotte, NC, prepare to have your ears assaulted by the sweet sound of The Dirty South!
 Over the years  DSR has endured ongoing member changes. They could have anywhere from three to seven members on stage at any given show. 
With new members and new songs DSR focuses on live shows and touring. 
Currently they make records on Mechanical Pig Productions.
