What’s that Sound?
There is lots to see at the four-day music fest 35 Denton. From local bands to marquee names, the smaller-than-SXSW event grows into a hella impressive collective of music. Queer artist Atlas Sound brings his eclectic indie rock to the fest on Saturday adding at least a small bit of gay flair to this year’s roster, which also includes Jesus and the Mary Chain and Best Coast.
