Despite popular opinion, Texas isn't all dunderheaded cowboys with belt buckles in the shape of their state. Seems some folks in the Lonestar State are brainy enough to like their noise rock. Anyone else remember Seven Percent Solution? Whatever happened to them? A bunch of droney bands who are still around making music will convene on Fort Worth September 22-24 for the Wall of Sound Festival. Slated to play are bands including Explosions in the Sky (pictured), Midlake, the Books, Spectrum, Pinback, Ghostland Observatory, Baptist Generals, Peter and the Wolf, Bobby Bare Jr., and the Sword, with even more yet to be announced. Head to the fest's website for full details.
