Sun 24 May 2020 • 11:00 am Garage Punk
sofa-king-fest.com -
· by Rupert Bottenberg

Memorial Day will be memorable this year, thanks to this streamed festival curated by the labels Goner, Burger, and Slovenly, foregrounding garage punk and related sleazy business. Expect 12 solid hours of bite-size sets from several dozen acts, including Chicano punk pioneers The Zeros, Japanese neo-kawaii squad Chai, Frizzy-haired siblings White Mystery, Bloodshot Bill and Elephant Stone representing the 514, and Dwarves frontman Blag Dahlia, still young and good-looking after all these years. Hosting duties are handled by New Orleans thrift-shop power couple Quintron and Miss Pussycat, the mighty King Khan (his progeny, Saba Lou and Bella & the Bizarre, plays sets), and Eric Oblivian. 

There’s more info on the event’s Facebook page, and it’ll be streamed live here.
