This week the return
of the annual day-long invasion of Los Angeles has been confirmed via the 2012
installment of the massive The Power Of The Riff Festival!
Continuing
to
bring you a tradition of heavy music from slow drones to aggressive crust ridden
darkness, The Power Of The Riff will burn down LA on
August 11th, marking the gathering's third annual installment. Co-curated and
organized by Southern Lord, TPOTR is an
event that honors extreme music fans and musicians of all ages, tapping into a
lineup that represents the forefathers, milestones and current national touring
acts, while shedding light on up-and-coming and local acts. The all-day fest
also includes a record swap-meet of local stores and pop-up stores by indie
record labels, DJ sets in between band performances and a gourmet food truck
court featuring Los Angeles' best purveyors of street food
dining.
Set
to take place at the Echo/Echoplex, the initial lineup for The Power Of The Riff
2012 at press time includes OFF!, DR.
KNOW, REPULSION, NOOTHGRUSH, XIBALBA, EAGLE TWIN, POWER TRIP, ANCESTORS, ALPHA
& OMEGA, GAZA, DNF, RETOX, THE
LOVE BELOW, AVON LADIES, COPS and HORDES with even MORE acts to be announced in the
coming weeks.
Tickets
for the event go on sale this weekend AT THIS LOCATION.
Stay
tuned for the LA lineup to be expanded upon, in addition to other regional The
Power Of The Riff actions to be announced in the weeks
ahead!
