Fergus & Geronimo, The Novas And Jonathan Tyler Listed As 2010 SXSW Showcase Bands
 |
There are plenty of Austin acts, as is to be expected, but so far the list is disappointingly short on Dallas-area bands. The only ones I've spotted are Fergus & Geronimo, Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights, and a band called The Novas claiming to hail from Dallas. Never heard of them, but a Google search turns up a page for a recently reunited pre-British Invasion Dallas rock combo by that name.
Other locally connected musicians include the Denton-born Riverboat Gamblers and Daniel Francis Doyle, known around these parts for his role in Plano's Early Lines.
Hopefully more local acts will be announced soon. Fergus & Geronimo is a good start, but there's a lot more to North Texas music than the next best thing to the Black Crowes and garage-band reunions.
