caterwaulfest

Yearly noisy rock fest & not so secret society. caterwaul.org - Caterwaul 2025 is Friday, May 23rd through Monday, May 26th 2025 in Minneapolis, MN
With the fourth installment of Caterwaul scheduled With the fourth installment of Caterwaul scheduled for May 23-26th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the festival's organizers have revealed ten of this year's confirmed artists. In alphabetical order: Elephant Rifle Eye Flys In Lieu Kowloon Walled City Lung mr.phylzzz Open Head Pissed Jeans Suckling Young Widows The full lineup will be revealed in the upcoming weeks. Tickets can be purchased now at this location: https://www.ticketstripe.com/caterwaul2025 With such greats as Brainiac, Chat Pile, Flipper, and Oxbow having graced Caterwaul's stages in years past, the fest has come to serve as a beacon for the heavy, experimental fringes of rock. The 2025 lineup promises to cement Caterwaul's reputation as an annual destination for the noisy and iconoclastic, with the initial announcement including the following: psychedelic punkers Elephant Rifle; noise rock beast Eye Flys; neo-grungers In Lieu; doom rock stalwarts Kowloon Walled City; cello rockers Lung; the new wave of Amphetamine Reptile, Mr Phylzzz; angular punk innovators Open Head; hardcore punk kings Pissed Jeans; Suckling, led by Brett Bradford of the legendary Scratch Acid; and post-hardcore transcenders Young Widows. BrooklynVegan has described Caterwaul as a "unique mix of noise rock, punk, metal, post-punk and beyond." New Noise Magazine has called it "a gathering of some of the best underground bands existing today." Beyond the curation, Caterwaul has come to represent a cooperative, familial spirit within the underground. Through their decades of work in the trenches of independent music, serving in the roles of musician, label owner, show booker, podcaster, and more, founders Conan Neutron, Rainer Fronz, and Melanie Thomas are deeply tied to the artists and fans whom Caterwaul pulls together. With its fourth installment approaching, Caterwaul is the epicenter of its own scene – not limited to any one specific genre, but dedicated to uniting all people on the loud and eccentric side of the fence. Asked to deliver a statement about the fest, Neutron, Fronz, and Thomas offer these nine words: “In a world full of Coachellas, be a Caterwaul.” Ticket link in bio

Posted @withregram • @conanneutron Caterwaul 202 Posted @withregram • @conanneutron Caterwaul 2024 is over. It’s success painted on the faces of the organizers, performers and attendees all. We started off bold and have only been emboldened by the engagement and excitement you all have added to it. A belief engine of sharp wit, primal scream and sick riffs. When Rainier and I started it in 2020 we had the idea we were doing something good and that the stakes were higher than other things we had done before. Melanie filled in the blanks and helped us grow it even more. There just isn’t much like Caterwaul, and there should be. However much work you think it might be, I assure you it is more. There are many folks to call out, I’m tired… bone tired… and I won’t right now. We have gotten much better at letting people help. It is still an astounding amount of work. We are terraforming a planet. We are performing alchemy. We make something from nothing every year. We chew up nickels and spit out dimes. Any elevation of the self is either incidental or a part of necessary press purposes. It is about the event, the people, the community and experience. You. Let’s have a place for a little while where the music is weird and cool and you can inspire, be inspired, be around people that share your “weird” tastes and be in a meticulously planned and elevated experience. One where we can all transcend the mediocre miseries of the world for a little while, the walled gardens apps and the whims of the almighty algorithm and remember we are more than drones, consumers and demographics. We are alive, we glow, and we will not be diminished, ignored or marginalized. We do NOT accept less, we require more and we do not hesistate to create it. We deserve better and we demand better. We aren’t done and it’s highly unlikely we could be stopped, even if one would dare try. Let loose the wild wail of Caterwaul.

Caterwaul is more than a “music festival”, we are a community of people working together to make things happen. Many of them are noisy and they definitely rock. It is not: however, Noise Rock.
