RED EYE

REAL NAME: Scottie Canfield

FROM: Dallas, born and raised

VITAL STATS: Red Eye got his name during childhood. Apparently, he wasn’t a very nice child, and “red eye” was the equivalent of “jerk” (or the only equivalent suitable for print). He got his start at Club One, where he played for seven years. He plays all kinds of music but is really excited about dubstep, which is the new big thing in Dallas, he says. “It’s my job to push people over the edge a little bit.”

WHERE TO HEAR HIM: Barcadia. Or catch him on tour with Datarock sometime this year.
