Goner Records has finalized the lineup for their third annual music festival, which will take place in Memphis, TN September 28-30, 2006. Goner Fest 3 will include three main evening showcases at the Hi-Tone, a Saturday afternoon of music at the Buccaneer Lounge, and additional opening and closing shows at Goner Records.
"We’ve been working on this off and on since the beginning of the year," said Goner co-owner Eric Friedl. "We’ve got bands coming in from all over the world. It’s pretty exciting.”
As always, the festival will blend Memphis and New Orleans favorites with new acts from all over. This year’s highlights include a rare appearance from Big Easy frat rock kings The Royal Pendletons, French synth/DIY newcomers Cheveu, Canadian panic rock duo The Leather Uppers and London teenage garage sensations The Hipshakes. The fest will also mark the debut of Memphis legend Jack Oblivian’s new solo outfit, and a return home for the angular garage pop sounds of Memphis’ Viva l’American Deathray Music.
Goner Fest 3 will also feature what is already being called “the greatest Sun Studio Tours ever given.” A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour Sun Studios with Memphis rock and roll legends Msr. Jeffrey Evans and Ross Johnson will happen twice on Saturday, Sept. 30, at 12 and 1 pm.
Attendance for Goner Fest 3 is anticipated to be over 1000 people for the weekend; as many as half of whom will be coming in from outside of Memphis to take part.
Goner Records will release two new singles for the festival, from The Hipshakes and Chicago high-end warriors Cococoma. Goner will also release a limited reissue pressing of The Leather Uppers self-titled LP, originally issued on Pantsuit City Records in 2002.
The Gonerfest 2 DVD/CD, produced by Goner Records, Live from Memphis and Rocket Science Audio, is also slated to make an appearance at the festival in
Tickets are $12 per night or $30 for a 3 Day Pass and are available available online via the Hi Tone http://hitone.musictoday.com/HiTone/calendar.aspx or at Goner Records (2152 Young Ave.). |
