Countdown to NX35 2010: 4 days ’til we’re shoutin’ from the rooftops.
The awesomeness behind house venues The Schoolhouse and Annex House have teamed up to ensure NX35 is an all-day and all-night event. If you can’t make it to any of the NX35 daytime programming or would rather listen to music than discussions, head to the rooftop of Cool Beans for an afternoon of music. FOR FREE, Y’ALL! Over fifteen bands will keep you company as you wake up and prepare for even more music in the evening. Check my list of NX35 Facebook events for more info on what’s happening during the daylight hours this weekend.

Texas 8 Ball will be a good place to be on Friday night if you want some good, solid rock n’ roll. I’ve already featured The Phuss and The Rocketboys, and I do believe Ha Ha Tonka will fit right in the showcase. Hailing from the Ozarks, they make a nod toward their heritage by naming themselves after a Missouri state park and with their grand Southern rock sound. It’s easy to draw a similarity to Kings of Leon as singer Brett Anderson has the same soulful voice but Ha Ha Tonka has been bringing their own rock far before KOL became mainstream. With both of their albums garnering the respect of several “best albums of the year” lists, they will definitely be a treat for anyone in the mood for some good ol’ rock with soul.
Notable tunes to preview online: “St. Nick on the Fourth in a Fervor”, “Close Every Valve to Your Bleeding Heart” / Myspace / Facebook
