NX35

NX35, the second annual music conferette in Denton has managed to pull off a truly impressive lineup this year. That is really saying a lot, especially since this is only the second year. Including RTB2, Telegraph Canyon, Spooky Folk, This Old House, Lonesome Heroes; Somehow The Flaming Lips agreed to play as well. But a set time, I'm sure, is still being worked out.
I believe that the fact that the Flaming Lips will be performing is a reason in and of itself for any music lover to make attendance to this self proclaimed 'conferette'. Conferette, the fact that it is not a real word tickles me and holds to the nature/style of this Denton musical gathering. The NX35 people have also ingeniously scheduled it right before SXSW so as not to compete with Texan Festival-goers. So with that, short of not having a penny to your name, there is no real excuse not to attend. Rest assured, I will be in the crowd, doing my best to acquire as much coverage as possible, and utilizing what little connections I wield to get on location pictures. Hell, if the journalism Gods smile upon me I may even grab an interview or two.
So far, only evening schedules have been posted which do not yet include my friends The Wellington Lights or my Heroes The Flaming Lips. Visit NX35.com for a full lineup list, tickets, and other wonderful information about this event.


P.S. I can't say I'm one of those penniless people. But I am all the way in Arizona and have yet to get paid from my new IT job. If anyone feels charitable enough to help me acquiring a weekend wristband, I will pay you back with interest. I am merely stressed that this thing will sell out before I have the funds to get a pass.

PP.S.
Black Angels is a modern Blues/Rock group that is rocking my world right now. I sincerely recommend that you watch this if you don't believe me when I say they will do the same to you.
