NX35 “conferette” should not be ignored by SXSW fans
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 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.
Oh yeah, these guys are worth catching at NX35 also…
