NXNP Lineup
Good thing Rosey pays attention, because I would have had no idea that the lineups to NXNP had been announced. Some of the stages are sponsored by our local radio stations, but we won’t include that propaganda. Let’s break it down by venue - my recommendations are marked with an * (comments as well, of course):
Bar Pink Elephant:
Pant Hoots
Apes of Wrath
The Glossines*
Thin Man
Wild Weekend*
I totally loved Wild Weekend when I saw them at HOB. A good way to the end the night.
Chasers:
Say Vinyl
Hotel St. George*
OAKS*
Bat Wings
Viewmasters
Gotta support the OAKS boys. Depending on timing, I could also start with Hotel St. George.
The Radio Room (formerly Zombie Lounge):
The Mice
Lauren de Rose & the Kates
The Frantic Romantic
The Burning of Rome
The Drowning Men
The Tighten Ups
No one here that I am dying to see.
Lestats:
Billy Midnght*
Gregory Page
VERY SPECIAL GUEST # 1 (Rosey thinks Steve Poltz. Yep, I’d have to agree.)
VERY SPECIAL GUEST #2 (Rosey thinks Greg Laswell. Sounds about right.)
I’ve got that Billy Midnight cd around here somewhere. Probably should take a listen and check them out. )
Kadan:
DJs Dubba Deez
MC Miki Vale
MC Flow*

Shark Attack DJs
More TBA

U-31:
Swandive
Buddy Akai
The Silent Comedy

Scarlet Symphony*
I never tire of Scarlet Symphony, but they are up against Wild Weekend. But this whole lineup is solid. Not a bad place to spend the entire evening if you don’t feel like venturing out.
Ray Street Stage:
Tropical Depression
Sus Hijos
Building Better Monsters
The Locust
Don’t think I’ve seen any of these bands.
Kensington Club:
The Sess
Vision of a Dying World
Crocodiles
Fantastic Magic
DJs Mario Orduno, Sir Charles & Brandon Welchez
Also a good place to hang your hat all night.

Oh hells ya. FING!!! lovelovelove them.
The Whistle Stop:
Like a Bird
Moviegoers*
Lanterns

Not a fan of Lanterns. I’ve got that Moviegoers cd in my stack as well. Guess I need to get cracking on my local music listening.

TBA
Can someone tell me where this is?
