Dressy Bessy's first full-length release Pink Hearts, Yellow Moons (1999) was a mixture of beat group drums, infectious songs, and the odd burst of harmonium. Further releases include California EP (2000), Sound Go Round (2002), and 2003's Dressy Bessy, which incorporated a harder guitar sound. 2003 also brought the compilation Little Music: Singles 1997-2002. These albums were initially released on the now-defunct Kindercore Records of Athens, Georgia. Their songs "If You Should Try to Kiss Her" and "Just Like Henry" were featured in the 1999 indie film But I'm A Cheerleader. 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

The Guide -- Dressy Bessy’s Flashy Look Hides Deeper Pain (458 words)
Prior to the release of their third album Dressy Bessy, the group was recognized strictly as an indie pop band.
But the heart of Dressy Bessy’s music is not the simple musical juxtaposition, but instead Ealon’s subtly pessimistic lyrics that reveal a deeply repressed pain.
Dressy Bessy is set to perform Sept. 16 at the Black Cat and it should be interesting to see how they handle, live in concert, the sharp contrast between their bubbly sound and base unhappiness.
