Knollfest 2009

Berkley Avenue Knoll ~ Indianapolis, IN
August 29th, 2009


About Knollfest
The 1st annual Knollfest took place on October 4, 2008 on the Berkley Avenue Knoll and was one of a kind! The goal last year was to raise money for tangible needs in art and music departments throughout several Indianapolis Public Schools while also promoting talented up-and-coming bands in the Midwest region. In 2009, they selected one school: Broad Ripple Magnet School for the Arts as the beneficiary. The hope is to be able to donate at least $1500 to BRMSA while also helping Indianapolis and surrounding areas discover young talent, underground groups and collectives taking positive initiatives throughout our community.
Knollfest would like people to recognize it not only as a fundraiser for Indianapolis Magnet programs (BRMSA, Shortridge Middle School and Crispus Atticks), but also as a venue where people can discover bands with a professional sound. Artists who are active in their communities, and creating a buzz both in the Midwest and throughout the U.S. Many of the bands featured at Knollfest can be found playing large festivals and venues around the U.S., such as Summer Camp, Rothbury, 10k Lakes, and many more! Most of the time, these bands perform in the shadows of more familiar names, however these festivals wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for the wide variety of musicians who play for the love of music and will rock you all day and all night!

2009 Artist Lineup: Groovatron, Twin Cats, Ladymoon, Shaggy Wonda, Midwest Hype, Daphne from Daphne Willis & Co and more to come!

Knollfest Sponsors: Art with a Purpose, Wuhnurth Entertainment, MIDWESTpeeps, Mousetrap, Jazz Foundation, IndyFringe, NUVO, and Earth House Collective.

Knollfest is still searching for support for this event. If you are interested in being a part of Knollfest 2009 as a sponsor, vendor, or volunteer visit http://www.knollfest.com/ or e-mail me at TheHippieSeed@gmail.com.

Video ~ The Ragbirds “Brave New Beat” at Hoxeyville 2009

The Ragbirds perform “Brave New Beat” August 21, 2009 at Hoxeyville Musical Festival in Michigan. The Zindle siblings have rendered the newest of sparks in an already hot, always on target band. This video, captured by kellybeez and edited by technotom, is the Friday night performance of the band on the second stage at Hoxeyville. The rain forced a collection of waterproofing gear and as much plastic as tolerable in order to protect expensive equipment. With quick response, Michigan festival goers honored the request and gave love and the requested plastic to Miss Erin, Randall, TJ, Dan, and Tim, that night. (technobeeztv: September 28, 2009)
