The upcoming Denton noise/free folk festival Beauty and the Beast Vol. 1, originally scheduled for July 1st at Rubber Gloves, was recently served with a cease and desist order from Myspace and possibly Disney for use of a Disney movie title in its name.... or I guess as its name. Maybe the talking tea cups got a little pissed off when they heard about the festival... they're more into emo or something.

But fear not noise rockers, because the fest is back on under a different name: Strategies of Beauty Vol. 1. The date and time have not changed, and so far they have confirmed the following acts:

Fra Pandolf
Notes from Underground
You are the Universe
Hotel, Hotel
IDi*Amin
Shiny Around the Edges
Chris Garver
Ribelle Scaltro

Should be a good one. Go to their Myspace page and listen to some of the bands that will be appearing.

Eisner sux cOxx in hell

Ahhh, but that- my friend- would be sensible.

There is no doi.

Notes from underground really wants to fly in their ole trumpet player from Portland for this one. Money is an issue, this show is gonna kick ass, and yes Disney sucks. Maybe they should be more concerned with all the sexual innuendos that find their way into the movies they produce rather than some local musicians trying to put on a fuckin show that will bring people or a "scene" together.

Yeah, this show is going to rule pretty fuckin' hard. Very excited to be apart of it..

It's going to be an amazing show/lineup, no matter what the name. Can't wait!

that is ridiculous!
