Here’s our list of 10 of the bands we’re most excited about seeing at NXNE. Of course, we’re beside ourselves with excitement over seeing The National in Yonge-Dundas Square, and who can resist checking out Ludacris and legendary Houston Fat Tony on the final night. However, here are a few artists you may or may not know. As we’ve done with previous lists of this sort, we’re going to avoid telling you how perfect Mikal Cronin’s and Brazos’s new albums are and how much fun The Blank Tapes are live.
