Denver’s GOLDRUSH Music Festival returns! From September 18-19, the Mile-High City’s premier experimental music festival (headed by TMT contributor Strauss) is gearing up for its fifth edition, and it’s not fucking around. Coming off an incredible 2014 that featured the likes of Wolf Eyes, Mount Eerie, and Eric Copeland, this year’s initial lineup boasts such TMT favorites as Yoni Wolf (WHY?, cLOUDDEAD), Lawrence English, Tara Jane O’Neil, Guardian Alien, Benoît Pioulard, and Landing.
GOLDRUSH is also extending its reach this year by teaming up with Denver Small Press Fest for its inaugural edition. A celebration of “all things print media,” the Denver Small Press Fest will include a free zine, panel discussions, installations, a book & art fair, DJs, and more.
GOLDRUSH will be held at The Savoy at Curtis Park in Denver, CO. Single-day tickets aren’t available yet, but you can grab on-the-cheap two-day passes right now.
