I'm on the verge of heading out for tonight's shows. When I get back we'll have photos from this afternoon's NX35 showcase -- which I like to call the "Denton stage" -- plus a recap of The Feds. The Dallas band is opening up the Wednesday night show at Spiro's Amphitheater with its catchy, radio-friendly rock. We'll let you know if they play "Saturday Girl." Also on tap are Teenage Bottlerocket and Cancer Bats. -- Chelsea Ide
