NorCal Noise Fest XII

Posted October 10, 2008 at 11:17 AM by Stickie in Arts & Entertainment, Music (4 comments)

Fetch your earplugs, Sacramento, it is Noise Fest time again!

The only way to describe Noise Fest as a whole is to call it f-ing loud, although many acts are experimental, avant-garde, industrial, electronic, and/or hardcore. Hell, some of it can barely be called “music” in the literal sense and is more accurately tagged as “aural art”. My dog is PISSED that I have been listening to a sampling of this year’s artists. If you like music that pisses off dogs, this is your weekend to stay in town.

Forty acts from the West Coast and beyond will perform for three days at Luna’s Cafe and The Space Theater. A pass for the whole shebang is only $25, which is a deafening bargain for the amount of entertainment you’ll get. Check the web site for a complete schedule and links to most of the bands.

i like the idea of having more shows in sacramento, but $25 per ticket is too high

um, actually, $25 was the price for two days, each day featuring 14 or so bands, plus a T-shirt and a CD.

and to be a total completion freak about it, the full three-day pass was $40, and also included a DVD of the 2007 fest. That’s for 40 bands…a fairly decent deal, in my mind.
