Landon is the Pigg in Page's blanket

So the NBN crew has organized a showcase slated for March 19 at Austin's Maggie Mae's Gibson Room. You might recall us bringing you word of Landon Pigg's and Turbo Fruits' appearances in the forthcoming Ellen Page-Drew Barrymore vehicle Whip It!, a tale of love, rock and roller derbies set in Austin of all places. The South by Southwest bill is the first appearance Pigg and the Fruits will make together since shooting said film. Oh, and by the way, Pigg plays Page's love interest. Score. The film should be out later this year.

Back to the matter at hand. In an email to the Cream, NBN bigwig Jason Moon Wilkins expressed a bit of disappointment that popular local artists like "How I Became the Bomb, The Protomen, David Vandervelde, The Champion and His Burning Flame and JEFF the Brotherhood" weren't able to make it to Austin, but there are some noteworthy bands on his showcase. We'll bring you news of any additions that may be made to the bill. Here's the lineup:
