DC4 Performs At TEXAS ROCK FEST; Video Available

March 24, 2009

DC4 — the Los Angeles-based hard rock band featuring Rowan Robertson (ex-DIO) alongside brothers Jeff Duncan (ARMORED SAINT, ODIN) on lead vocals and guitar, Shawn Duncan (ODIN) on drums and Matt Duncan on bass — descended upon Austin, Texas for three days for the annual Texas Rock Fest, held during the South by Southwest music festival. The band enjoyed the city, the sites, the food, the fans, and raised a little hell with performances of its high-octane hard rock.

Below is a sampling of DC4's journey through Austin.

The group last year spent time at Skull Seven studio with producers Bill Metoyer (SLAYER, LIZZY BORDEN, ARMORED SAINT) and Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING) to record additional tracks for the re-release of the group's new album, "Explode". The new tracks, titled "People" and "25 To Life", were added to the CD along with a video and new artwork for an "enhanced" package.

Jeff Duncan and Shawn Duncan of ODIN fame and notable for their appearances in "The Decline Of Western Civilization - The Metal Years" formed DC4 with brother Matt Duncan in 1995 and released their debut EP, "Mood Swings", produced by Joe Floyd (BRUCE DICKINSON, WARRIOR). In 2001, DC4 released "Volume One", which was produced by Joey Vera. Robertson, who is best known for his dynamic guitar wizardry on DIO's "Lock Up The Wolves" album, joined the ranks in 2006.
