Caterwaul Fest announces Inaugural Lineup of World Class Noise Rock
Bands like Tongue Party, Gay Witch Abortion. New Primals and the lineup Learning Curve Records are keeping the local noise rock torch burning well past the initial scene of the 1990s. We’ve been blessed to have Amphetamine Reptile put together some great day long festivals in the Grumpys downtown (RIP) parking lot over the years but with the venue gone, haven’t put together any of the great anniversary bashes of the past. However, Learning Curve and Seismic Wave Entertainment 7have teamed up to put together an intense 3 day festival of the best of our local scene and some of the best national bands out there today through a variety of venues around town. From some classics who have no been around in a long time (Tar) to some favorites that come through occasionally (Whores, Super Thief, Dead Rider) to some bands that have never made it here (Kowloon Walled City), Caterwaul is a nice surprise to fans of the genre and a great new festival to town.
