7 Foot Singers and Saving The Scene: A Hat Tip to DFW Local Music
What does it take to keep a city’s music soul alive when developers, gentrification, and time threaten to erase it?In this heartfelt and hilariously offbeat episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive deep into the beating heart of the DFW music scene—and it’s as wild, weird, and wonderful as you’d expect.From Krystina’s Nirvana cover band Oatmeal Pizza (yes, you read that right) to a passionate plea to save Fort Worth’s beloved venue The Cicada, the crew blends humor, nostalgia, and genuine love for local music into an unforgettable hour of radio. You’ll hear about the upcoming June 8th benefit show, the rise of Fort Worth as a cultural powerhouse, and the bittersweet tug-of-war between community and commercialization.But the real showstopper? Skin’s tribute to his high school buddy Rob Dunlap—a 7-foot-tall, bearded legend—whose band The Golden Falcons is reuniting for a 20-year anniversary show at Double Wide. With a vinyl reissue of their cult-classic Honduras album and a stacked lineup including Hawk vs. Dove and Minor Tigers, this episode is a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever moshed in a dive bar or discovered their favorite band in a back alley venue.Memorable Moments:
- “The Eagle was here before radio existed… back in the Tin Pan Alley days.”
- “Imagine a 7-footer with a beard down to his chest belting out indie rock—how do you not go to that show?”
- “We should’ve called it the Wildlife Tour: Golden Falcons, Hawk vs. Dove, Minor Tigers!”
- The evolution (and gentrification) of DFW’s music neighborhoods
- The importance of supporting local venues and artists
- Nostalgia, friendship, and the power of music to bring people back together
