It’s Third Annual.
And it’s also Framing Hanley and local Black Tooth Grin.
By the way, Evans Blue just did this awesome cover of Caught a Lite Sneeze by Tori Amos. It’s just really good (and you wouldn’t think it would be).
I thought the TV spots were very well done. The whole concept is upbeat and reminds me a lot of something we would see in a much bigger market. I am not a listener but I was impressed with the promotional opportunity to target their listener base.
To be fair to Don though, the first X-Fest was, well, one that we often try to forget as well.
I got to see Evans Blue this past Sunday in El Paso. They sounded amazing. Great bunch of guys!
I thought Framing Hanley was tight as well.
What does it take to do a show like X-Fest?
I mean from a station stand point…
A man going mad! Mad with stuff to do…lol! We are fortunate here because we don’t have to do all the production of the show like most places would. Bravo has been a great partner for X Fest. Just lots of promotions and ideas, and we worked hard to get the bands lined up.
…and some mighty fine bands you have lined up, Big J!
There were many late nights filled with drinking and swearing. But they had nothing to do with the planning of the show at all.
Ah, memories…
