QUOTABLE QUOTES:
“Currently one of the most successful independent musicians in Australia.” MATT O’NEILL - Time Off
“The hardest working woman in rock.” - Paul Shields - SCENE MAGAZINE - Oct 2010
“Dallas Frasca has been crowned the Queen of Australian roots for good reason. ..... Frasca is a powerhouse of rock and her snarling husky vocals and chunky guitar riffs force anyone still sitting to their feet.... when heard live these down and dirty roots-rock tunes take the listener to another place.” Emma Heard, Time Off, September 2009
“If you like your rock molten, monolithic and propelled by passion and authenticity, it’s time to tune into Dallas Frasca.” Graham Blackley, Beat Magazine, September 2009.
“The modern day Janis Joplin” TRIPLE J
OF DALLAS FRASCA BIG DAY OUT SHOW (JAN 2010), TIME OFF WROTE: “With a clutch of direct songs roots dynamo Dallas Frasca plays a fiery set with gutsy, mean blues vocals and dual slide guitars for a primal performance. Lightening things up Frasca introduces ‘Leave Me Alone’ as a song about a stalker before musically tearing him a new one. After a stomping ‘I Like You Better When You’re Straight’ Dallas doesn’t go easy on her audience and converts any doubters through epic closer ‘Take A Look’.”
“Frasca’s voice seems to be getting more versatile and refined – she has the makings of a superstar.” Martin Jones, Inpress Magazine.
“Ok, so Dallas sounds a lot like Janis (Joplin). But wait, there’s more. This is a voice that’s getting better with age. On this album she exercises an enthralling, determined vocal control and demonstrates real finesse...... No matter what Dallas does in the recording studio, her briar patch is the roots festival circuit. You’ve never seen anything as extraordinary as a guy and a girl with a tambourine and a mandolin lashing out in an explosive electronic overkill to rival Jimi at Woodstock.” Bruce Hardy, Tom Magazine, August 2009
"Dallas’ music has barbs so rich that she turns her roots background into a dangerous new rock all her own." Mojo's, Fremantle
