Please accept this humble offering of a crash course playlist for this Saturday November 15th's Loud as Fuck Fest. You see, this weekend a giant pizza cat from space will take over the Indy Indie Artist Colony for the course of several hours (from 1pm and on into the deep dark winter night). The cat will use its oversized lungs to meow into an as-well-oversized bullhorn for the entirety of the event. It will be loud as fuck, thus the event will be called Loud as Fuck Fest. Apparently, Giant Pizza Cat From Space Fest was already taken. As you may have realized, I am lying, but do not fret. The real Loud as Fuck fest is cooler than any imaginary pizza cat scenario, and way less possessed of the inevitable giant feline grease stains. Loud as Fuck Fest is actually an all day music festival presented by New Noise Entertainment that's happening this Saturday. 

The festivities will start promptly at 1pm (with doors at 12:30), so don't mess up and get there at 1:15 because I guarantee you're going to miss some important context for all the loudness if you do, and I for one am not going to spend the whole day helping you play catch up. If you get there before 5pm it will run you only $5--after 5pm it's $7 for entry. 

Musical Family Tree will be posted up at the fest until someone makes us leave, hocking wares from behind our glorious folding table, handing out prizes with the fully randomized assistance of our award-winning prize wheel, and selling our totally sick new BrainTwins-designed t-shirts. And, since we are an online music archive after all, there was truly no stopping us from showing up with a slick playlist containing jams from from all the performers on this show who have put their tracks up on the site, including The Cowboys, Air Hockey, Shipwreck Karpathos, Raw McCartney, Chieftan, Fossil Generation, and Rob Funkhouser. 

If that list has got you overwhelmed at the hugeness and loudness of this fest's lineup, you'd better brace yourself before clicking the Facebook event link right here, because it get's even deeper on the other side. Prepare yourself for the likes of Chicago's Rat Hammer and BIGCOULOUR, and Cloaca, who are my personal favorite sort of gross bird fact slash Bloomington hardcore band that does not exist on the internet. Don't forget your earplugs.
