Black Tie Dynasty were an indie rock band from Fort Worth, Texas, that signed with Idol Records in 2004 and put out a debut EP the year after. Brian McCorquodale, Blake McWhorter and Cory Watson were among the members. The first full album, Movements, followed on Idol in 2006, and its single "Tender" climbed to No. 8 on Billboard's Hot Dance Singles Sales chart, which says plenty about how well their moody rock worked on a dance floor. After the album they hit the road with Guided By Voices, VHS or Beta and Spoon.

Down Like Anyone came out independently on November 29, 2008, and in January 2009 the band posted on MySpace that they were breaking up, then didn't quite follow through. The last show came on October 2, 2010, at the Granada Theatre in Dallas. Watson and McCorquodale went on to form Mon Julien, McWhorter joined These Machines Are Winning while helping out Mon Julien too, and Eddie Thomas made two albums with The Crash That Took Me.

Even so, the story wasn't over: a new Black Tie Dynasty album, Steady, arrived on May 10, 2024.
