We came. We saw. We fested.
35 Denton came and went way to fast. Year after year, those dudes program a great festival (conferette?) in one of my favorite cities ever. Check out some video highlights and pictures of all the action (including a little afterparty action). And if you didn’t make it out this year, that’s on you bro. Hit the jump for some exclusive pics and vids.

The outdoor main stages open for day two of #35D. They worked out great last year, so let’s hope the weather holds up this year.

Ah yes, it’s my favorite time of year: festival season. And it all starts with the four day walkable conferette in Denton America, 35 Denton. Here’s a real quick rundown of where you should be on Thursday. But above all, go see tons of bands you’ve never heard of. Trust me.
Dallas band Air Review brought their thoughtful, intricate indie rock jams to The Local Edge studios. This is a song off their 2009 record, Landmarks, which was the best record of the year.
Ft. Worth’s Calhoun dropped by The Local Edge for a little acoustic action. Their latest record, Heavy Sugar (Idol), is easily their best to date and one of the best albums I’ve heard this year.
Congrats on another successful 35 Conferette (formerly NX35). This year saw the fest finally realized as a walkable event with two well placed outdoor stages just off the Square. I was only there for the first two days, but I made the most of it. So many highlights. So many PBRs. So very Denton.
It is time once again for the eyes of America to focus in on a small town just north of Dallas. That town is Denton, America and the 2011 edition of 35 Conferette (formerly NX35). 35 Conferette is a walkable 4-day music conference programmed in the heart of Denton, Texas’ central business district, and is easily the most lovable music event in town.
If you haven’t done so yet, I’d suggest buying a wristband through Prekindle now, and support all of the local music that will be represented during 35C, not to mention all the big name national acts. Here are my picks for Thursday:

Dudes, get your party pants on because the lineup for 35 Conferette has been announced….
Denton’s Manned Missiles, with their lo-fi retro soul-influenced jams, have been impressing quite a few folks around town for the past year or so. They were even kind enough to play our showcase at Club Dada last week. They’re currently recording their next album and Benjamin recently stopped by The Local Edge studios to play one of the new tracks.
You already know we support local film, but did you know we’re also holding it down on the local music tip? It’s true, friend, and to prove it we’re throwing a local music party for you! Tonight at the newly renovated and improved Club Dada in Deep Ellum, Pearl Snap Discount presents the latest installment in their Blogosphere series starring Pale Horse, Manned Missiles and Soviet! Doors at 8p and downbeat is at 9p. So come out and have a drink with us and let’s celebrate the fantastic arts community we have in DFWd!
