The New York Eye & Ear Fest II
New York's own home-grown music fest returns for a non-cold outing! Official excitement below.
The NY EYE & EAR FESTIVAL has been praised by the Village Voice as being "a first of its kind" and Arthur Magazine describes it as "a giant, swarming, lovingly handpicked showcase of grassroots cultural production in New York". Pendu presents: NY Eye & Ear Fest II ... a massive 4-day New Music and Arts Fete showcasing some of the most exciting bands, artists, and filmmakers currently living and working here in NYC. In addition, NYE&E assembles a Record Fair featuring NYC-based Record Labels and Vendors selling LPs, CDs, 7''s, cassettes, lathes, comics, zines, stickers, and art prints. The title of the fest is inspired from the 1964 NY Eye & Ear Control soundtrack by Albert Ayler as well as the all-too-familiar signs seen daily in the subway tunnels by riders of the L-train of the infamous NY Eye & Ear Infirmary. If you don't know all of the names in the lineup, don't be alarmed; NYE&E exists to facilitate the introduction of new artists placing them side-by-side with the more well-known like an eclectic living mixtape of sound and vision. This is a festival for discovery - discover new bands + discover new art + buy new records + meet new people... The festival prices are low to make them affordable in these difficult financial times, so please show your support and buy your tickets now...!
The inaugural NY Eye & Ear Festival in December 2008 was an incredible success! A big thanks goes out to everyone who attended (especially those who bought records). Thanks goes out to all of the amazing music that is being packaged and created here in New York… Cheers to all the bands and labels who participated. In some ways this seemed an impossible feat to accomplish. 13 bands played on the first day and then a nearly unheard of 23 bands the next? On top of that, 39 NY record labels were represented together in the same room as the bands (which made for a tight fit). Well it happened. It worked, and more than that, it was AWESOME! Hope you come out to the next one in July. Bigger and better, onward and on.
NYE&E FEST is curated by Todd Pendu of the Pendu Organization, a nonprofit arts and cultural organization based in Brooklyn, NY. *Email NYE&E: info(at)pendu.orgLabels: Festival

...shouting the poetic truths of high school journal keepers....
Hello Folks,
This is my first post on the foxy blog. Basically, I'm introducing myself and letting you know that I'll be keeping official updates here about Terrastock 2008.
The only actual information to be shared right now is this:
Terrastock VII
Louisville,Kentucky
June 2008
Previous to the festival we are hosting a series of Terrastock TEA Parties. Interested bands and musicians can send me mail at Riterzbloc [at] aol [dot] com. TEA parties mean you can come to Kentucky, peruse the venue previous to the festival, Rock an all ages crowd, sell your merch and help support the fundraising efforts for the festival. Terrastock is an expensive endeavor but well worth your help and support.
Here's a little sneak preview image:
Official press releases coming soon.
Keep me, Dispose of me. But never remember me. I'm telling you this because, most likely, I've already forgotten you-moiLabels: 2008, Festival, Psychedelic, Terrastock
