This summer brings Total Fest number 5 and it aspires to be bigger and
better than ever with a new and larger venue, more bands, and five
years of experience under the organizers belts! What hasn't changed is
Total Fest's commitment to bringing together a diverse group of
incredible bands and supporters for two days of (loud, quiet, melodic,
atonal and interesting) music, conversation, swimming, hiking and
barbecues. All this transpires in the Rock and Roll, Swimming, Hiking
and Barbecue Capitol of the West; Missoula, Montana. Total Fest is
proof that creative music and 'do it yourself' ideals are alive and
thriving in a time of network television sponsored monoculture-rock.
Total Fest has no spectators, only volunteers, musicians and supporters!
Missoula is a place that's renowned for the genuine and warm reception
touring musicians receive. Maintaining that well-deserved reputation is
the number one priority for Total Fest's organizers. Bands are paid
100% of the net receipts (after expenses) and activities including
barbecues, and a day at the river are planned to bring everyone
together to appreciate each other and Montana. Total Fest organizers
are community volunteers who begin the planning process mid-winter
every year, and are involved because of love fort the community and
interest in ensuring independent music's continued importance to our
lives here. Total Fest always proves to be a unique and pleasurable
auditory explosion as each band plays (maximum) 30 minute long sets.
Two stages are set up across from each other to eliminate set up time
so bands can play one after the next with few interruptions. You are
likely to hear country twang, followed by metal, followed by upbeat
melodies, followed by undecipherable noise-rock, etc. Most likely
attendees will hear a lot of sounds they love and a few sounds they
never thought could be created by humans. And the Big Dipper will host
the Total Fest family style Saturday Matinee and Record Swap, which
starts at noon. This year's bands include returning favorites and many
new surprises. There will be bands from all over the United States, as
well as a mixture of Missoula's top-shelf acts.
