Kruxe, Don't Stop Please added to Kudzu Music Fest

We can now finally get rid of that annoying "More TBA" line at the bottom of our poster, because we've added our final two acts to our bill.

Kruxe are from Memphis, and include Andrew McDougal, a former member of local JW favorites St. Anthony. They call their music "pseudo psychedelic future punk," which is surprisingly accurate (or at least evocative). Check out the video for their awesome track, "Tremors," below.

Don't Stop Please are a local folk/blues sextet who can rock out equally well on a back porch and in a garage. Grab their tunes at their Bandcamp.

Announcing: Kudzu Music Fest

It's here! Johnny Whopper, working with The Ivory Tower (full disclosure: I work with both organizations) is pleased to announce Kudzu Music Fest, to be held March 12, 2011 at Brick House in Conway, AR.

Heading off the billing are Denver's heavy chaos-trippers Woodsman, who just released their latest album, Rare Forms, on Lefse/Fire Talk. You might have heard their mega-jam "Insects" on episode 14 of our show, but if not, you can grab it below.

Representing Fayetteville are blown-out swamp reverb gods Voyageurs and lo-fi retro-psych dealers Niall.

From Russellville, William Blackart lends his guitar and gravelly voice to his "poor man's Gothic" songs, and Conway collage composers The Light Brigade round out the bill.

More acts will be announced, though, so stay tuned for additional information, as well as complete coverage of the festival itself.
