The Sword and Spectrum? Sounds good enough for me.

[bmack86]

I would go to that. OM

[miscorrections]

eits, spectrum, pinback, midlake, the books? sounds like a good time.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

This is what I was thinking when I saw the name of the thread...

[glenfarris]

mostly local texas bands with national (and international) headliners.

[mountmccabe]

There's a good deal of stuff that'd keep me happy there. Man how I loved last year's line-up, though. Didn't go then, either.

[disgustipated]

Ghostland Observatory will be a household name before too long.
If this wasnt the week after ACL I would soooo be there.

[thinnerair]

I saw Lymbyc System open up for the Album Leaf a few months ago and they were really interesting. Just two dudes. One on drums with some triggers and another dude with about 3 keyboards, yet the sound was very full.

Have you people ever actually been to Ft Worth? not a fun place.

pfffft. like Indio, CA is the greatest place on Earth.

[TomAz]

Is Indio full of right wing bible thumping gun nuts?

[disgustipated]

hey, I was raised in Ft worth....nothing wrong with it.

[disgustipated]

you dilusional old man... youre right everyone walks around with guns a blazin'.

It's like the wild west really, a showdown everday at noon.

Followed by a prayer service.

Ft Worth is so conservative it makes Dallas look like Sweden.

[disgustipated]

Dallas is so...nevermind

[shoegazer76]

The Sword & Sonic Booml in 1 fest! Hmmmmm I might have to hit this up.
I hope Sonic Boom is still rockin the circuit bent speak & spell, math, & read units.

Ft Worth is so conservative it makes Dallas look like Sweden.

Ft. Worth's arts scene is arguably more robust than Dallas'

[glenfarris]

it will only be $30 presale here: http://spune.frontgatetickets.com/
pretty good deal all in all.

AND will be held in a baseball field:



being from denton, if i had to pick either dallas or ft. worth to live (and i've lived in both) my vote would definitely be ft. worth (better museums, zoo, bass hall, parks, vegan food)

[J~$$$]

Texas.....meh.

[glenfarris]

texas has been and could still be it's own nation - makes up 2% of the worlds gdp.
ft. worth - home of townes van zandt - nothing wrong with that.
