DENTON, Texas (February 5, 2010) — The NX35 Music Conferette has confirmed Kissaway Trail of Odense, Denmark and Denton’s fast-rising Fergus & Geronimo will join more than 160 bands set to play the ever-expanding festival Pitchfork christened “SXSW’s baby cousin.”

drops in April on Bella Union.Other adds include Ha Ha Tonka of Springfield, Mo.; French Horn Rebellion and Snarky Puppy of Brooklyn, The Crash that Took Me, Dem Southernfolkz, and Anonymous ???? of Dallas; and Woven Bones and Follow That Bird! of Austin.

welcome The Flaming Lips, The Black Angels, HEALTH, Juliana Barwick,
Jookabox and others to the other, smaller Texas music town north of
Austin.The
NX35 Music Conferette is a walkable, 4-day music conference programmed
in the heart of Denton, Texas’ central business district March 11-14,

Patrons of NX35 will be introduced to what Paste magazine called the Best Music Scene of 2008
via its most talked-about talent, with Midlake and their polarizing new
material, the fast-rising Fergus and Geronimo, and recent Kirtland
Records signee Sarah Jaffe as the lantern holders.Wristbands for NX35 are going fast at nx35.com. Saturday single-night wristbands have sold out. Members of the press are asked to submit requests for passes by February 20.This

producer/musician/journalist Steve Albini, the grand opening of a
museum honoring the history of the 8-track tape curated by former
Denton record store owner Bucks Burnett, and a lineup the Austin-American Statesman‘s Patrick Caldwell deems a “scorcher” in his report on the first round of bands announced
at the paper’s Austin 360 music blog. An updated list of bands
