Friday, November 21 – Sunday, November 23: Brainwaves Festival

by Liza Weisstuch | November 14, 2008

Before indie and electronic music fans turned to Pitchfork or their favorite blog for their daily soundwave fix — heck, before anyone knew what a blog was — there was brainwashed.com, an online haven for music geeks. Founder Jon Whitney mounted the first Brainwaves Festival in 2006 to celebrate the site’s 10th anniversary.

The multimedia, genre-bending bonanza boasts a lineup that ranges from Meat Beat Manifesto to shoegaze bands to influential avant-garde noise acts to local performers like chanteuse Marissa Nadler. As with any proper festival, this one lasts three days — but no camping provisions are required. For a full schedule, visit www.brainwavesfest.org.
