Dallas Tetnus (SXSW)

4.6

Rock out with Dallas Tetnus, the high-energy four-piece rock band from Raleigh, North Carolina! Formed in 2022, this crew of seasoned musicians—Greg Clayton on rhythm guitar and vocals, Billy Alphin on drums, Danny Kurtz shredding lead guitar, and David Wright on bass—brings influences from Whiskeytown, AntiSeen, Drivin' n Cryin', and more to the stage.

Expect loud, short, catchy 70s-inspired punk rock tunes echoing The Ramones, The Stooges, and KISS, delivered with explosive showmanship. Their sets explode with static energy, smoke, bubbles, white suits, and a pink-lit backdrop for unforgettable visual flair. Catch their official SXSW gig and grab badges or wristbands for priority access—their debut album Welcome To Dallas Tetnus is out now everywhere!

Genre: **Rock / Punk**
