PUNK FEST PROMISES 42 BANDS:
by Bill Anderson; Free Press Staff Writer
Hoping to raise money for a Burlington youth center without menacing the
downtown, the parks department and 242 Main have organized a three-day,
42-band punk rock festival for the first weekend in June at Memorial
Auditorium.
Simon Brody, manager of 242 Main, says the event - dubbed Monster Fest - is
viewed by music industry insiders as "the biggest U.S. hard-core festival
happening in the U.S. this year."
The biggest name on the bill is Bad Brains, a veteran punk-reggae group from
Washington D.C., that emerged soon after the Sex Pistols ignited punk in the
late '70's. Other bands in Monster Fest include Napalm Death, Dillinger
Escape Plan, Cave-In, H2O, and Converge.
