Fitzwilly’s upstairs wil
Dexter Freebish,
Drill Team
By James Francis
Aggielife editor
S aturday night, while North by Northgate
is in its full swing, two bands will be
hoping to make the windows shake and
get people in the bar moving in (or out) of
their seats.
Chris Lowe, bass player for Austin band
Dexter Freebish, said he would classify the
band’s music as a modern compilation.
“I would call it prock, which is pop-rrxk. ’ he said.
The band has been together for three years
and Lowe said the music festival should help
the lesser-known bands in the long run.
“It’s a good opportunity to come out and
support some bands that aren’t huge yet, but
will be soon,” he said.
Drill Team, however, will be coming into the
festival with its new album released only two
days ago.
