Gonerfest 21 happened September 26-29, and by all accounts it was the biggest one yet. This year, the Memphis Flyer co-sponsored the live stream, and I handled the between-set interview segments. You can see the best interviews, featuring myself and Ryan Haley of Ryan’s Shorts fame in this supercut video.
One of the highlights of the interview reel is Annie-Claude Deschênes from PyPy. They tore up the stage on Friday, as the remnants of Hurricane Helene drove the festival indoors at Railgarten, and then did it again at the afterparty. The Montreal band’s new album Sacred Times was just released on Goner Records, so we’re bringing you a sample of their barn-burning performance. Here’s the album opener “Lonely Striped Sock” live at Railgarten, as captured by the Goner TV Stream Team.
