I am often asked by people who have never been to the Drop dead festival
<http://dropdeadfestival.com> , what is it... Although its hard to
describe Drop Dead Festival, you really do have to be there here is some
background:
We started out in NYC 6 years ago in the legendary CBGBs club, and
following years also held in in Limelight and Knitting Factory
Festival has grown and became the best known and largest festival for
the really underground and outside of mainstream stuff.

From day one of the main goals of the festival was to give bands that
are ignored by mainstream a larger audience and to help dj's promoters
and clubs from across the world who work with this type of music to meet
each other and work together.

In nyc we worked hard on introducing post punk, gothic punk and
deathrock scenes to the horror punk and surf and psychobiology and
rockabilly scenes. Although people really liked the new music they found
many of them really didn't know about it before the festival. We usually
had 3 floors with multiple stages and a dance floor as well as movie
screenings, and other events.

We also try to book weirder bands as well as some NDW, wave, electro
punk, anarcho punk and more.

Many of those type of bands have followings that are very fanatical and
follow only that type of music.

Drop Dead has been a place for those fans to find more and to open up to
new things.

The NYC and Los Angeles Drop Dead has been attended by people from all
over America and the world. Over the years many people have asked us to
bring the festival to Europe, and the idea appealed to us as well
becouse it gave us a chance to book bands we couldn't in America because
of the expensive flight prices.

Last year Drop Dead Festival hit Europe for the first time – Drop
Dead Festival Prague , CZ. Festival was one of the most diverse and
successful DD festivals so far and in 2008 we are brining DDF back to
Europe. For 2008 we will be in Lisbon Portugal Becouse of the amazing
location as well as a really great music scene there.
