Slog - Comments on One Music Festival I'm Not Interested in Attending http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/one_music_im_not_int While I'm inexplicably charmed by the band name "Oops I Stepped in Some Christ", I don't think the time to check them out will be at "Methfest 2006", where they will be appearing with, um, Fetal Distress, Arachnid Arcade, and Boostatali. I'm guessing that "Methfest" was chosen for either its shock value or as a reference to the bands' preferred tempos and song duration (ostensibly fast and unending), but it still seems like a poor marketing choice. Nevertheless, perhaps they could get some good ideas for flyers from this Just Say No-style banner I recently spotted outside a rural Montana...

MethFest is an event for metrosexuals who want to "walk on the wild side." It's a chance to place your wine glass on the table without a coaster, skip doing dishes for up to one (1) day, and leave as many as two (2) dirty socks on the bedroom floor.

"Meth" is "mess" pronounced with a lisp. Clever, no?

Punk vs. hippie, meth vs. weed....

Evidently there is more info at www.backwardsrecords.com/nw.html and this will be happening all weekend and moving each night (like a mobile methlab!!!) I mean Oops, some guy from Iron Lung and Antlers - this looks like it is going to an incredible set of shows!!!

I have loved checking out this weird music in Seattle, have wanted to see more of it and more noisefests, but Methfest?? ok so it's anti-hempfest sure, I guess there's not enough anti-hemp, anti-pot sentiment out there already. I hate meth and I love pot and psychedelics and it's lame to see meth (why any drug?) linked boldly to the noise scene. who the fuck are the people putting this on anyway?
