Online music retailer Tryxo announced its international line-up for the Indie Invasion Tour in Germany next month. The bands include Derek Jordan (LA), The J.U.S. Evolution (NYC) and 9lies (Belfast). A team of experts and students selected the three bands from artists selling their music through Tryxo’s online platform that applied to the Campus Tour by May 1st, 2009.

“The artists are all international newcomers that do not have a major label record contract,” noted Tryxo founder Natalie Vandersluis. “Nevertheless, their songs, production and sound quality as well as their talent prove their class and that they deserve to be on this tour!”

Tryxo also announced some initial dates for the German tour this coming June:
17.06.2009 – RWTH Aachen, Karmanhof 7pm – 10pm
