The show will feature local bands, Write Minded and Slow Caves. This year, student wristbands are only $15 in an effort to bridge the gap between students and the community. If you buy your wristband at the event, you can be entered to win a pair of beats headphones.
Slow Caves, a four-piece band made up of some current Rams, blast some synth-punk sonic vibrations, blistering guitars and throbbing bass lines. Like any bad crash, it’s bada** and you just can’t look away. Slow Caves will be performing Friday, April 22nd at Hodi’s Half Note from 10:45pm to 11:30pm. For more information about Slow Caves.
Formed in January of 2015, Write Minded is a seven-piece group with a unique sound that varies from Hip-hop to Rock, Reggae to Funk and everything in between. This power group’s goal is to make some noise and have a great time. Write Minded FoCoMX performance is Saturday, April 23rd at The Aggie Theatre from 5:30pm to 6:15pm More information and to get to know Write Minded better
FoCoMX is in its 8th year enhancing the local scene by the community with a rare chance to see so many incredible bands in their area in the simplest way during a short time-span. The 2015 festival attendance was around 5,000.
