The Dexateens

The Dexateens are a five-piece rock and roll band out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.^[1]

Formed in 1998,^[1] the Dexateens have released five albums on the Estrus and Skybucket labels. They appeared at the 2009 Austin City Limits Music Festival.^[2] Bass player Matt Patton is now a full-time member of the Drive By Truckers.^[3] In 2013, the band returned from a two year hiatus with the EP Sunsphere and is steadily plotting an active 2016 including 2 new records already recorded and in post production. The first, Teenage Hallelujah, is slated for a Spring 2016 release and the second record remains untitled yet was recorded and produced by Mark Nevers at Beech House Recording in Nashville, TN on late August of 2015. The band plans on touring in support in the late spring and early summer of 2016. The new addition of Taylor Hollingsworth (Dead Fingers, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band) on guitar and backing vocals has added an entire new level to their voluminous sonic destruction and triple guitar attack.
