Just when you thought the strange creatures had left for long migration, or deep cave dwelling, or frozen tundra family reunions, Unusual Animals are back and this time infesting Denton, Texas during the NX35 Music Conferette. On Saturday March 13th, Asthmatic Kitty's own I Heart Lung will be playing alongside other strange creatures at Texas 8 Ball. Other bands include Denton's own Dust Congress and Shiny Around The Edges, Rare Grooves from Long Beach and .e from St. Louis. In between sets, Mariachi Quetzal will be keeping things moving in a general party direction. More information on tickets and wristbands for the Conferette visit the NX35 website here. But single show tickets will also be available at the door. More info and showtimes on facebook. This will be part of a short Texan jaunt for I Heart Lung as they bookend their Denton appearance with shows in Austin and Houston.

The day before the Unusual Animals party (Friday March 12th) you can catch the wise and digitally savvy Chris Schlarb on the panel discussion "From the Physical to the Digital" at Dan's Silverleaf in Denton. The discussion is free to the public and starts at 3PM. More info available here. And the day following, Sunday March 14th, Jookabox will be be opening for The Walkmen at Hailey's.
