In conjunction with their festival success, the Loosely Tight song Ruff & Tuff was the lead off track for radio station KDKB (93.3 FM) 1979 Arizona Sounds Volume 3 and was featured in heavy rotation.

After a brief stint with Capitol Records the band's album Fightin' Society found release on Star Struck Records. Catalog number TDS 020559.

The Loosely Tight lineup included singer/songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Dino Livingston, Mark Lehman on bass, Jr. Lomeli on guitar, and Pat Dixon on drums. Dixon went on to play drums with another Arizona based band Icon (band) who recorded albums on both Capitol Records and Atlantic Records.

The songs on Fightin' Society are now controlled by independent record label Fervor Records. The label placed the band's song Bombs Away in the 2008 Paramount Pictures, Mike Myers comedy, The Love Guru.

Loosely Tight is currently based out of Houston, TX. Dino Livingston has teamed up with bass player Wolff DeLong (former bass player for, most notably, Mean Gene Kelton and Super Chikan and the Fighting Cocks), and drummer, Rick Gomez. Wolff and Rick provide a powerhouse rhythm section which befits Dino's "Loosely Tight" style to a T. Dino is still writing new songs and wowing audiences with his brilliant guitar artistry, catchy original tunes, hard hitting Freedom Rock.

Dino Livingston died of complications from diabetes on December 20, 2011.
