Hot NEWS below! The Sh’Daily Chronicle returned

Hot NEWS below! The Sh’Daily Chronicle returned to Sh’BANG for its third year: providing immediate on-the-ground festival news, produced each day of the festival and distributed for free to attendees 📰🤪

Remaining copies of the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s newspapers have been collected, and we’ve bundled the last archival packs that include all three issues. They are available RIGHT NOW, and never again, to support the Quarry Sauna Fundraiser! Link in @shbangfestival and @lookoutartsquarry bios 🔥

This year’s Sh’Daily Chronicle was a collective editorial production of @futuretman, @resultsmayberry, @skyebetweenlines with regular support from Grace, Saturn, and Kai, and contributions from many festival attendees that felt the buzz 🐝

Day 2! Saturday night in the Saloon 💥 @threeforsilver features one-of-a-kind instruments you’ve never seen playing styles mixed in ways you’ve never heard. The band has hit the road since 2013, and their monomaniacal devotion has already led them all over the USA and the world, from Accordion Festivals in Vienna to Modern Music Expos in Russia, and even partnering with the US State Department for ongoing cultural exchange tours to countries thirsty for truly original American music 💀

Day 1 🏴‍☠️ Friday night at the Pirate Stage, they’re baaaack! @fleshproduce started out as the bloopy bedroom beats of Karl Fagerstrom (drums/production), and mutated with the addition of Myla Profitt (vocals, the spirit of Kathleen Hanna). The band’s infectious sludgy/digi/noise punk is best experienced LIVE.

Over the moon, and down to the ground, Night 1 the Beach Stage! ✨🌿 Welcome to @livingrootsmusic! A livetronica duo that brings the funk and high vibes to every dance floor! Travis plays Didgeridoo, Drum, Flute, Melodica, Kalimba, Jaw harp and Logan sings and plays ukulele and U-Bass. Music for the witching hours when we can seemingly stop time, open the doorway to another dimension, and bask in the wonder that is this existence 🪩
