NX35 es muy bueno!
6 March 2009 in blah blah blah
While there is much attention being paid to the upcoming annual SXSW in Austin, it would be almost criminal for any real music fan to ignore the new festival (sorry, I mean conferette) taking place in Denton, TX the weekend before the ballyhooed yearly music industry extravaganza.
NX35 is going to host tons of bands over the weekend of March 14-16 in many of the excellent venues around the home of the Mean Green of North Texas. With an assortment of speakers and other goings-on though the daytime hours (including a convo about jazz from Harvey Pekar), the main events will obviously be the bands at night. The bill has a distinct local flavor, but at least they are among the best this area can offer. Doug Burr, Sarah Jaffe, Pinebox Serenade, Dust Congress, The Drams, Riverboat Gamblers and Matthew & the Arrogant Sea, are the homegrown highlights for me, while The Low Anthem, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, James McMurtry and Possessed by Paul James provide the oomph for the out-of-town portion of the festi…I mean, conferette.
The trusty ol’ Dallas Observer gang are the official media partners for NX35 and they have promised to bring us tons of info as the fun approaches, along with great coverage once it arrives.
Oh yeah, these guys are worth catching at NX35 also…

[...] As I said last week, there are tons of great bands to suit almost any specific need. Tonight’s opening night looks pretty good with The Heelers, James McMurtry and Sabra Laval hitting the various Denton stages tonight. I’ll send some twitter updates and post pics that I take, but for the most part, I’ll just direct your attention to DC-9 for my thoughts on sets throughout the weeknd from the likes of McMurtry, Doug Burr, Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers, The Drams, Dust Congress, Laura Gibson, The Low Anthem, Possessed by Paul James, Pinebox Serenade and many others….
