Vancouver’s Japandroids took the stage at Lee’s Palace during NXNE by proposing “let’s get fucking crazy tonight”. They were so intense, they kinda broke our camera for a bit….but we kept the film rolling through three tracks: “Press Corps”, “Art Czars” and “Wet Hair”. Japandroids on Myspace.

The nights of NXNE got just a little more odd thanks to Austin, Texas’ The Strange Boys, who set up residence at The Silver Dollar for a multi-night residency. Check out their tracks “Should Have Shot Paul” and “Da Da”. Check them out on Myspace.

Things at Wrongbar got a little hotter when Foxfire took the stage during NXNE. With a sound so infectious it makes you want to dance, we’ll come down with a case of Foxfire any day. Check out their grand finale: “Too Late For Love”. Foxfire on Myspace.

Comanche leader Ten Bears might’ve left behind a legacy of peaceful treaties, but Manchester, UK’s Ten Bears showed up for NXNE and unleashed an electro-rock firestorm on the crowd at the El Mocambo. Check out: “Slasher”, “Fireheart” and “New Kicks”. Ten Bears on Myspace.

Head over to The Indie Machine’s Flickr account to check out photos from Wavves, Free Energy, Cold Cave, Warpaint, The Strange Boys, Spirits, Young Doctors In Love, HEALTH, Ten Bears and more!

An experiment in sonic explosives, LA’s Warpaint made their declaration of battle clear when they hit the stage at The Horseshoe Tavern during NXNE 2010. Check out their tracks “Stars” and “Beetles”. Warpaint on Myspace.
