Eugene Noise Fest Preview (#115)

Started in 2005 by Don Haugen, the Eugene Noise Fest has been the place where the local experimental artists can get together and show off their stuff. In some ways modeled after the NorCal NoiseFest in Sacramento, the Eugene Noise Fest has made an effort to feature artists of every kind, sonically and culturally, keeping the event all ages, and out of bars. This year, it is being held at The WOW Hall for the first time ever, bringing this event to a bigger audience, and featuring an incredible line-up of amazing artists.

For more information about the show, I recommend checking out:

The Eugene Noise Fest Page (Line-Up, flier, etc.)

Advance Tickets ($8 in advance, or $10 on the day at the door)

In this show, I feature a number of performances by artists that will be playing at this show tomorrow, and in the second hour, stick around for a conversation with Don Haugen, as he calls in via Skype, to tells us about the event history, what to expect, and a little about the incredible artists, too.

And, if you like what you hear, meet us at The WOW Hall tomorrow. I’m actually playing as part of the line-up, too.

Enjoy!
