Never a dull moment at the KXT Public Music Meetings, where KXT listeners get a chance to preview and judge new music from across the world, plus homegrown artists from their backyard in North Texas.
Hosted at Tulips last week, the public meeting invites KXT members and listeners (anybody, really) to come hear 60-second clips of new music. Each song gets rated 1 to 10 by the crowd via score cards provided by KXT, and KXT radio hosts walk around the crowd to gather opinions from both high and low ratings.
Some of the most creative insults and compliments have been delivered on the mic by audience members, often with comedic effect to the crowd sipping on craft beers and cocktails.
Standout songs from positive ratings of the night included “Flood” by Little Simz, “Blue Moon” by Frankie Leonie and “Dream Woman” by Suki Waterhouse. While some people loved “sad girl music,” some didn’t. The friendly clashing of opinions made for an entertaining night with lots of laughs.
Other niche songs like “JanSport Backback” by Spark and “Where I Belong” by Galactic and Irma Thomas came in with mixed reviews, with pockets of fans connecting with the sound and others not feeling it.
