Goner Fest ~ All Memphis Music ~ Memphis ~

AllMemphisMusic.com fully supports Goner Fest 8 !! REAL ROCK RAGES IN MEMPHIS IN SEPTEMBER Tickets are now on sale for Goner Records’ eighth annual international music festival, which will take place September 22-25, 2011, in Memphis, TN. Goner Fest 8 will include three evening showcases at the Hi-Tone, a Saturday afternoon ten band blowout at Murphy’s, opening and closing shows at the Goner Record Shop, and various daytime shows throughout the weekend. The festival will bring together 35 bands from all over the world for three days and nights of rock and roll mayhem. Attendance for Goner Fest 8 is anticipated to top 2500 people for the weekend; as many as half of whom will be coming from outside of Memphis. Previous festivals have attracted rock and roll fans from Austria, Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, Wales, Holland, France, England, Australia, Croatia, Tasmania, and Canada. And Vermont! In its short life span, Goner Fest has quickly increased the size of its blip on the radar of mainstream independent music. Paste said it “tends to fill three days with so much overdriven, yelp-tastic rock 'n' roll that, for the slightest moment, the city of Memphis becomes one big parents' garage.” Blurt called Goner Fest “a rock n roll mainline that is the perfect antidote for all those other festivals.” GONERFEST 8 OFFICIAL SCHEDULE Thursday, September 22 - Opening Ceremonies - 5:30 pm - @ Goner Records Jack Oblivian (Memphis, TN) Limes (Memphis, TN) Thursday Night - @ Hi Tone Ty Segall (SF, CA) OBN IIIs (Austin, TX) Royal Headache (Sydney, Australia) Mikal Cronin (SF, CA) Hans Condor (Nashville, TN) Sex Cult (Memphis, TN) MC NoBunny DJ Useless Eater & DJ Rick Friday, September 23 - Afternoon Rock – 2 pm - @ Buccaneer Straight Arrows (Sydney, Australia) Ryan Rousseau & His Desert Children (Desert, AZ) Coasting (Memphis, TN / Brooklyn, NY) Sharp Balloons (Memphis, TN) Cyclops (???)
