The North by Northeast (NXNE) Music &
Film Festival and Conference (www.nxne.com) is getting
ready to take over Toronto once more! Running June
12-15, 2008, NXNE invites fans of indie music and film
(to the table to) feast on some of the freshest, coolest music
and film being produced today. NXNE
is three events in one: a music festival, a film festival and
an industry conference
"North by Northeast is one of the
best gatherings on music and music people I've ever attended."
- Danny Goldberg, former manager of Nirvana, Hole, the Beastie
Boys
The Music Festival:
Indie isn't a style of music - it's an attitude! At NXNE,
more than 500 indie artists rock the fans, agents, talent buyers,
label reps, promoters and press who come to NXNE
to hear the best of what's next. Whether your passion is rock,
punk, folk, hip-hop, dance, metal, roots, electronic, R&B,
alternative, or something way outside, you need to be at NXNE!
"Toronto's NXNE Festival is the most teeming,
throbbing and wriggling snakepit of excitement in this half
of the continent, maybe even the whole landmass!" - Guy
Maddin
The Film Festival:
So you'd rather get your entertainment on screen than
onstage? NXNE is for you, too!
This is where some of the best music-related movies from around
the globe are shown, from concert classics and features to rock
docs-world premieres, too.
"This is where you bring your entertainment
vehicle if you want serious industry attention." - Rob
Halford, Judas Priest
The Conference: NXNE isn't
just for fans-it's for musicians, moguls, industry pros and
anyone else who wants to rock the music biz. The conference
cuts through the b.s. with brutally honest interviews, round-table
discussions, demo listening and mentoring sessions with key
industry pros. Past participants include Stewart
Copeland, Johnny Rotten, Steve Earle, and Patti
Smith.
Catch the 14th annual North by Northeast
Music & Film Festival and Conference
June 12-15, 2008 at over 50 venues in downtown Toronto. Visit
