35 Denton Adds 100 New Bands to 2012 Festival Lineup! [Festival Circuit]

Not that we weren’t already pleasently surprised by other announcements for the 2012 edition of 35 Denton – but this kind of blows the little (can we still call it that?) local festival out of the water.

It’s the weekend after New Year’s Eve, and there’s really not a ton going on, unless you happen to live near Denton. In fact, we’re near shocked that most of our favorite booking agents and venues have zilch in play for the weekend. Epic New Years hangover, perhaps? Anyway – if you absolutely must get [...]

35 Denton Adds Built to Spill, Solidifies Already Impressive Lineup

Today 35 Denton announced the addition of long time indie rockers Built to Spill to their official lineup. This is quite the coup for the quickly growing festival and combined with the already confirmed Mountain Goats and John Vanderslice, officially moves the festival beyond the regional stage.
