TURKEYFEST 6! A 3 DAY EXTRAVAGANZA IN BEAUTIFUL AND SCENIC MADISON WISCONSIN! FRIDAY 10.23.15 at Mickey's Tavern - FREE - 21+ FIRE RETARDED (Madison, WI - Big Neck Records) https://www.facebook.com/FireRetarded Garage punk quartet from Madison. Coachwhips attitude meets Motorhead might! Always wild, always unhinged, and probably always a little bit drunk! See what new gems and classic covers the band has in store for you at their return to Turkeyfest! Members of Turkeyfest royalty The Hussy, Proud Parents, Dumb Vision and more! XETAS (Austin, TX - 12XU Records) https://www.facebook.com/events/456534811185701/ Screeching noise punk rockers from Austin, TX on tour! Their debut LP is a loud, aggressive and completely ORIGINAL take on all the right hardcore and classic punk bands out of the 80s and 90s Texas scene! This is noise punk done at the absolute highest and finest of qualities! THE ICEBERG (Chicago, IL) https://www.facebook.com/theicebergband Newish Chicago band featuring members of ABSOLUTELY NOT, one of the Midwest's finest freak synth punkers. In this project, Donnie and Madison Moore of Absolutely Not are joined by three other members and tread more psychedelic garage and pop waters than their other more widely known project. Still expect some of frontman Donnie Moore's patented shrieks, shrills and stage presence! BRAIN FREEZE (Madison, WI) Brand new harsh punk-thrash duo from Anthony (Pyroklast, Tiny Daggers) and Ben (Poney, Tiny Daggers). This will be an early show in their existence but from every account we've heard they've been holed up for months practicing nearly every day to ensure this project hits true from the start! This will be a powerful return to rock at Mickey's for two of the most talented musicians Madison has to offer! DO NOT MISS. They start right at 10 PM! SATURDAY 10.24.15 at Crystal Corner Bar - $8 - 21+ THE HUSSY (Madison, WI - Southpaw Records, Volar, ETC) https://www.facebook.com/thehussyknowsall Madison, WI garage punk duo turned trio will be playing all the hits at their 6th consecutive Turkeyfest! Expect old tunes turned on their side and new tunes to be debuted! First club show since their return from a month long European Tour! Copies of two brand new 7"s will be available at the show, as well as copies of all the band's previous LPs! OBNOX (Madison, WI - 12XU Records, Southpaw Records, ETC) https://www.facebook.com/LamontBimThomas Obnox, AKA LAMONT THOMAS AKA BIM! THE GARAGE PUNK PIONEER! Madison youve seen him wreck havoc on Mickey's in two piece form and you've seen him destroy Crystal Corner as a trio. Both are completely unique and untamed beasts! Welcome the man and the legend back to Crystal for Turkeyfest 6! You'll have to come out to the show to see what lineup he's got in store for ya! WE ARE HEX (Indianapolis, IN - Third Man Records, ETC) https://www.facebook.com/wearehex Female fronted goth punk for the masses! Incredibly eye opening as one of the tightest bands you will ever lay your eyes on, and you won't be able to look away until they're done melting faces. Their last appearance at Mickey Tavern cemented their status as one of the best bands the Midwest has to offer....AND they're hot off the heels of a US tour supporting Jon Spencer Blues Explosion...so expect the band to be even tighter than ever! PROUD PARENTS (Madison, WI - Kind Turkey Records) https://www.facebook.com/proudparentsband Madison's absolutely genius pop quartet with members of The Hussy, Giant People, Fire Retarded, Gonzo Rongs and more! Classic power pop vibes meets 60s melodies with current garage rock explosions thrown in between! Their return to Turkeyfest! DO NOT MISS THEM STARTING RIGHT AT 10 PM at Crystal Corner! SUNDAY 10.25.15 @ Mickey's Tavern - FREE - 21+ DUMB VISION (Madison, WI) https://www.facebook.com/dumbvision Quite possibly the best no wave grunge band in the Midwest! Here at Kind Turkey we believe this is the future of the Madison garage-punk-whatever scene. Simple and efficient melodies over concise garage grunge morsels! Members of too many important local bands to name and their debut cassette is on the horizon! RUNNING (Chicago, IL - Castle Face, Permanent Records) The penultimate Midwest noise punk garage pioneers! Power trio through and through. Reverbed and delayed out vocals over sonic palettes that will make you head spin for days! Scuzz punk that fits well in your record collection between Fugazi, Thee Oh Sees and Spray Paint. Madison you've had a couple of chances to catch em over the past 5 years but usually it's far and few between! Don't miss this chance! MALE GAZE (San Francisco, CA - Castle Face) https://www.facebook.com/malegazesf EX MAYYORS, BLASTED CANYONS, THE MALLARD, ETC - If you know anything about the Bay Area scene of the last 10 years the bands mentioned above should be cemented in your brain as some of the most exciting and wild sounding bands coming from a scene sculpted around the current garage rock explosion. This band is something new and something wild for you all to experience first hand for their first Madison appearance! Feedback drenched punk fronted with an Ian Curtis vibe! DO NOT MISS!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! GRAVE TEXTURE (Madison, WI) Debut show from BEAU DEVEREAUX (Samantha Glass) and IZZI's new synth and guitar based project, Grave Texture! Long engrained in the noise slow core drone scene, Beau is no stranger to texture. This new band will encompass elements of the past, present and future! Programmed rhythms with guitar, synth and vocals overlayed live! Do not miss their debut show starting right at 10 PM SHARP! TURKEYFEST 6 IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Kind Turkey MadCity Music Exchange and WORT NO DICKS. NO SQUARES.
