Denton, Texas - The Next Austin, Texas?

The New York Times has an interesting article detailing the rising independent music scene budding in Denton, Texas. Denton is home to the band Midlake and given my proximity to the city I need to personally look into this. Here is an excerpt:

“While Austin’s become more and more commercial, here it’s stayed more independent,” said Erik Herbst, owner of the Panhandle House recording studio. With its high-tech boom and music festivals like South by Southwest, Austin has seen its profile swell, leaving some artists disenchanted by the commercialism and higher rents. Even MTV’s “Real World,” mind you, has invaded the city. The cooler kids have decamped to Denton.
