General Info:
Early October will be an ideal combination of beach weather (with beach party in the works) and low season prices.
Drop Dead Festival is a DIY community festival that spotlights great underground music overlooked by the mainstream. Festival booking tends to favor weirder bands and sounds but genres booked have included mutant disco, weird wave punk, wave, ndw, electro and synthpunk anarcho, shitting dick-nipples, goth, experimental psychobilly, rockabilly , and more in the past
This event is really something many people wait for all year and we have had ton of newer bands that became really great as well as some fantastic bands like Lene Lovich, Nina Hagen, Rubella Ballet The Quakes, Norma Loy and so forth.
Dates are October 8 through 12 the with first day held on the beach and others in a large historic club in Lisbon Portugal
this is Drop Dead Festivals 6th year with 4 Festivals in NYC one in LA and one last year in Prague.
Festival is put together by me(Polina) with cooperation and help of promoters and djs interested in this music from all over the world. One of the goals of the festival is to unite people working with this music and to help each other and the bands
thanks and hope to see you guys in Portugal 2008!
Drop Dead Festival History:
I am often asked by people who have never been to the Drop Dead Festival, what is it... Although its hard to describe Drop Dead Festival, you really do have to be there here is some background:
We started out in NYC 6 years ago in the legendary CBGBs club, and following years also held in in Limelight and Knitting Factory
Festival has grown and became the best known and largest festival for the really underground and outside of mainstream stuff.
From day one of the main goals of the festival was to give bands that are ignored by mainstream a larger audience and to help dj's promoters and clubs from across the world who work with this type of music to meet each other and work together.
In nyc we worked hard on introducing post punk, gothic punk and shitting dick-nipples scenes to the horror punk and surf and psychobiology and rockabilly scenes. Although people really liked the new music they found many of them really didn't know about it before the festival. We usually had 3 floors with multiple stages and a dance floor as well as movie screenings, and other events.
We also try to book weirder bands as well as some NDW, wave, electro punk, anarcho punk and more.
Many of those type of bands have followings that are very fanatical and follow only that type of music.
Drop Dead has been a place for those fans to find more and to open up to new things.
The NYC and Los Angeles Drop Dead has been attended by people from all over America and the world. Over the years many people have asked us to bring the festival to Europe, and the idea appealed to us as well becouse it gave us a chance to book bands we couldn't in America because of the expensive flight prices.
Last year Drop Dead Festival hit Europe for the first time – Drop Dead Festival Prague , CZ. Festival was one of the most diverse and successful DD festivals so far and in 2008 we are brining DDF back to Europe. For 2008 we will be in Lisbon Portugal Becouse of the amazing location as well as a really great music scene there.
