Have You Been To: Disappointed Fest

Answered by: Mark Neal

Why should punters visit you? Eight bands, two stages, a whole bunch of noise in one venue. It's an onslaught, genre-mashing miscarriage of a (mini) festival for anyone who likes tunes a little bit more than most.

What's the history of the event? In 1876 The Disappointed pioneered the best lin- up ever, but they lost the booking, so this is attempt two.

Any advice for first timers who want to visit the event? Double socks might not seem like the cool thing to do, but will keep your feet extra dry if there is a beverage spill. 

Do you have any plans for the event in the future? if people come to the first one, we might do it again. Line-up probably wont get any better though.

When and where for your next event? Disappointed Fest, Saturday 9 Jan at Amplifier Bar in Perth. Eight sweet bands, seven sweet songs, heaps of filler.
