GOAT - Curtain Club (Finals: Battle of the Bands), 5/19/06

"I normally run my P.A. at about 103db during shows.  When the audience screamed for you, my meter hit 107.9db!!!  I have never seen a club response that loud in my 20 years of running sound.  And that's with the crowd NOT facing the reference mic!!!  Very cool!!!

Much respect,
James (Soundman for Curtain Club)"

GOAT - Club Copasetic (Deep Ellum Arts Festival), 4/7/06

"Baaaaaah!  GOAT (Grades of Absolute Truth) brought a young vibe and late nineties groove to the palette.  Inspiring people to better beliefs and old memories is a powerful combination that always makes you happy inside.  Not too often is inspiration a source for Hip-Hop...kind of refreshing isn't it?"

G.O.A.T., Odis - What? Bar, 3/23/06

"...Lower Greenville's What? Bar got to see two of Dallas' hottest acts.  Rapper G.O.A.T. (and dj three6t) wowed the crowd with brilliant beats, scratches, rhymes, and personality.  Whether singing about the wonders of alcohol on "Count Me N" or dedicating a sweet tune to his mother (in attendence), G.O.A.T.'s messages were solid...Successful live music events are creeping into a new neighborhood.  Catch either of these quality, original acts around town."
