    NXNE 2013: Svavar Knutur, Daniel Ellsworth and The Great Lakes, Hot Panda

    by Trisha Evelyn June 18, 2013
    by Trisha Evelyn June 18, 2013

    Saturday night at NXNE is always a panicked evening of venue hopping as festival goers attempt to see as many acts as possible and not spend too long in a cab or waiting for a streetcar. Many people pick an area of town and wander from bar to bar, listening to a few songs here and there until an act really grabs them and they stick around for a full set.
