It's here! It's here! Next Big Nashville honcho Jason Moon Wilkins has sent along the full list of NBN bands, and we've got the exclusive for you. Locals missing from the initial list that turned up here include The Kindergarten Circus, Umbrella Tree, Tristen, Keegan DeWitt, Kopecky Family Band, Bad Cop and more. But a few remain conspicuously absent. No Features and no Privates--though The Features' nationwide tour probably has a lot to do with that. There's also no mention of Eliza the Arrow, Kintaro, The Mattoid, JEFF the Bro'hood or Turbo Fruits. Again, a couple of said absences are due to touring.
Now, Wilkins has informed us that "There will be about a dozen or [so] additions/changes, but this is 95% of it." So yes, there is a very narrow window through which the hope of future inclusion and inevitable local stardom shine for you and your experimental dub flamenco metalcore one-piece. We'll let you know when those "additions/changes" come rolling 'round the bend. But as for now, without further ado, we give you the (almost) full lineup of Next Big Nashville 2009, alphabetized for your convenience.
