Description
To those who attend, No Fun Fest is often as much about the people as it is the music. It’s sometimes like a convention, with a large chunk of the audience musicians or otherwise involved in 'the scene' in their own right, communing with people they’ve played alongside, booked shows for, or corresponded with in the past, as well as meeting new co-conspirators in their endeavors, transcontinental acquaintances that might’ve never met were it not for No Fun. The festival functions as a focal point for hundreds of performers, label heads, fans, and, commonly, the people that are all three. And while it’s no Woodstock, there’s a deeply positive vibe amongst the harsh sounds, chaotically catapulted bodies, and outbursts drunken bravado.
