New Weird America Festival This Weekend

Following the success of the 2010 NWA Fest, this year's installment promises an even "bigger and better celebration of the arts" that will open with a very special group art show titled "Twin Infinities" at the Nomad on Friday, July 1.

On July 1, all eyes will be focused on the "Twin Infinities" art show and festival launch at the Nomad. The event will kick off at 6:30 PM and feature original artwork and photography from such well known artists as Melinda Beck, Ross Farrar (of Ceremony), Tim Kerr, Stephen O'Malley (SUNN O))), etc.), Mike Watt (Iggy and the Stooges, The Minutemen) and many, many more. A "very special musical guest" will also be performing.

On July 2, "New Weird America" will crank up the sound, featuring some of California's best rock acts. The show will spotlight a diverse array of tuneful talent including Los Angeles atmospheric duo Ides Of Gemini (members of Black Math Horseman), Montalvo, CA metal act The F**King Wrath, Humboldt County psych rockers Radio Moscow and LA hard rock quintet Night Horse along with Dallas trio True Widow and the recently announced addition of Red Sparowes!
