Krazy Fest
Krazy Fest (originally stylized as Krazy✻Fest!) was an American music festival hosted in Louisville, Kentucky. It ran annually from 1998 to 2003, with a one-off comeback in 2011. The first three editions were held during Memorial Day Weekend in mid-late May. From 2001 to 2003, it was held between mid-June to early August.
The event was first organized by Scott Ritcher (then-vocalist of the band Metroschifter) and Andy Rich, who were both co-owners of the emotional hardcore record label Initial Records, in partnership with Jason Noble (then-vocalist of the band Shipping News), and Mark Brickey (then-vocalist of the band The Enkindels). Noble and Brickey were also involved with Initial Records in various functions. Ryan Patterson, senior vice-president of Initial Records, came on board in 2001. As such, the festival principally showcased emotional hardcore bands (including many signed to Initial Records), but also included melodic hardcore, post-hardcore, punk rock, hardcore punk, metalcore, and indie rock acts.
While in its seventh year's planning in early 2004, Patterson announced to the press that the festival would be postponed from its usual spring or summer date to later in the fall. Patterson stated that the issue rose from the lack of availability for headlining bands and the increased cost of getting bands to play the festival. Initial Records also became defunct around the same time. In late 2004, a VHS/DVD of Krazy Fest 4 and 5 was announced but it was never released.
After receiving Rich's blessing in 2010, new promoter Andrew Tinsley (former manager of the band Endpoint) brought back Krazy Fest for Memorial Day Weekend in 2011. Tinsley hoped to continue the festival in 2012, but was unable to due to scheduling conflicts.
Location: Brewery Thunderdome.
Notes: The festival was originally to take place at Stage Door Johnnies in Louisville, Kentucky, but it was moved to the Brewery Thunderdome. The split CD between Metroschifter and Shipping News was released at the event. Due to an electrical storm and a subsequent power outage on the evening of Sunday May 31, headlining bands Superchunk and Shipping News were not able to perform. Two bands did not perform on Saturday May 30 due to one breaking up and another breaking down in Pennsylvania; one of the bands that played on Friday May 29 was asked to play a second set on Saturday to compensate.
Location: The Belvedere.
Notes: Cave In did not perform due to a van fire earlier in its tour.[citation needed] Ink & Dagger was scheduled to perform, but did not show up.[citation needed]
