Next Big Nashville lineup announced!

Time to start those liver endurance exercises: the booziest week next to SXSW - our very own Next Big Nashville - kicks off in less than a month and the festival has released the initial lineup of acts we'll be able to check out from September 10-14. NBN will be even bigger this year, with 20 venues, 250 performances and even a series of daytime panels and lectures on Thursday and Friday.
50 additional names will be added to the list before August 20, but this preliminary lineup features more than a few OTO faves - Aaron Robinson, All We Seabees, And the Relatives, AutoVaughn, Caitlin Rose, Codaphonic, Cortney Tidwell, Eureka Gold, Ghostfinger, Glossary, Heypenny, How I Became the Bomb, Hotpipes, Jensen Sportag, Kindergarten Circus, Kyle Andrews, Lylas, Parachute Musical, Pico vs Island Trees, The Features, The Nobility, The Privates and SO many, many more.
Wristbands and VIP badges are on sale now - you can check out the whole festival for only $35, or upgrade to VIP status (which means priority access, free swag, access to VIP parties and receptions and access to the daytime conference) for $100.
I'll be extensively covering the festival here on Out the Other again this year - which means bunches of mini-interviews, artist previews, and tons of mp3s. I'll be keeping you in the loop with all the festival news that comes my way as well, so keep an eye on my Next Big Nashville category.

I saw Plex Plex open up for the Duke Spirit at 3rd & Lindsley the other night -- kinda cool stuff!
Funny, I was at 3rd & Lindsley the very next night, too, to watch my new fave, Meiko perform -- http://www.myspace.com/meiko
