While Athfest has been on the top of our schedules this month, a few local bands have released some incredible music videos that you really should see. First up, local darkwave/industrial band Witness the Apotheosis remixed R.E.M.’s “It Happened Today”. It sounds amazing! Next up, a really, really well done video from Misfortune 500. It […]

The bands playing them usually have gotten passed over for one reason or another and have taken up shop with some venues that usually aren’t venues associated with Athfest. This number has been growing year to year […]
