As most of you know pretty well by now, I run a small geekmusic festival, nwcMUSIC, as part of the Norwescon Science Fiction Convention<\/a>. We’re two months out now, so WELCOME TO THE GRID:<\/p>\n


nwcMUSIC 2013<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are so many things to talk about I don’t know where to start, even. MONSTARRS OF NERDCORE is a two-hour multiband nerdcore extravaganza, featuring Death*Star<\/a> and Klopfenpop<\/a>, and possibly a surprise. Yes, that’s Molly Lewis<\/a>, making her debut at Norwescon on Saturday night, with Vixy & Tony<\/a> as her backup band. Yes, that’s Hello The Future<\/a> on Friday. Yes, Alexander James Adams will be doing one of his rare shows this year at our event<\/em>. Yes, that’s Guest of Honour Catherine Asaro<\/a> – who is also a musician as well as a writer and a brain surgeon<\/strike> research scientist, doing the Buckaroo Banzai\/Hong Kong Cavaliers thing on Friday afternoon; CD Woodbury<\/a> will be bringing in some of his friends as backup. And yes, that’s 13 hours of workshops and panel programming during the day, all with our determinedly DIY\/participatory culture emphasis in mind.<\/p>\n

Plus other artists I am so excited about I can’t even tell you. HeyLasFas? Pony Progrock. They released a concept album about the fall of Princess Luna, called Nightfall<\/a>, and seriously it is amazing…<\/p>\n

Now. Where. Were. We?<\/p>\n

I’m not going to cover all this in one post, so I’ll talk about more in weeks to come. We have so much going on this year we had to make a hopefully-one-time exception to one of our rules, and overlap programming. And if you know me, you know how much I try to avoid that – but there just wasn’t any other way to fit it all in<\/em>. Chiptunes, filk, Jpop, nerdcore, ponyrock… did I mention Leannan Sidhe’s CD release concert? Ah well, I’ll get to it next time.<\/p>\n

Easter weekend 2013, people. It’s gonna be epic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
