After months of planning, the fourth installment of the annual Caterwaul is here, kicking off Friday, May 23rd in Minneapolis.
Across four days and three Minneapolis venues – 331, Mortimer's, and Zhora Darling – Caterwaul promises a full immersion into the noisy, iconoclastic fringes of rock, with performances by Buildings, Deaf Club, FACS, Kowloon Walled City, Pissed Jeans, Uniform, Young Widows, and dozens more.
In a new feature about the festival, posted this month, New Noise Magazine states: "Caterwaul season is upon us... The fest brings together some of the best underground rock acts in existence today."
Interviewed by New Noise, Young Widows’ Evan Patterson enthuses: “All non-corporate festivals are vital for all music scenes. Caterwaul is bringing together bands with similar aesthetics that may or may not be aware of one another. It’s exciting.”
The Minnesota Star Tribune placed Caterwaul on their "Critics' Picks" list this week, stating: "This fourth annual, four-day noisemakers’ fest is proof positive weird things can still thrive in the music biz... Genres range from sludgy metal to experimental electro-punk and basically anything loud and on the fringe."
Local Minneapolis scene authority Racket reports: "The noisiest music fest in the North returns on Memorial Day weekend, serving up a plethora of loud guitars and great band names."
Caterwaul founders Conan Neutron, Rainer Fronz, and Melanie Thomas say they are intent on fostering a sense of community that transcends any one musical genre, viewing Caterwaul as a means to unite all people on the loud and eccentric side of the fence. "In a world of Coachellas, be a Caterwaul," they proclaim.
