Year four of the
Rogue Fest wrapped up last night and what a great variety of bands we
had this year! We'd like to thank everyone who came out to the
festival and especially everyone who helped out! Unfortunately, attendance
was down from previous years. We suspect that this was due
in part to the fact that everything was set up so late this year.
Because the bands were determined so close to the date of the festival,
we didn't really get a chance to promote as we have previous years.
With
that in mind, we're setting a much earlier deadline for submissions this
year. Submissions for the 2006 festival will be accepted from June
20, 2005 until November 1, 2005.
If you
submitted a package for one of the previous years and would still like
to be considered for next year's festival, please let us know (you do
not need to submit another package).

It's been a while since the last update and we have lots of big
news! Rogue Fest is moving to a new venue this year. This
year's festival will be held at Jake's Toadhouse in Decatur, GA.
We're also moving the date of the festival from July up to June 18 &
19. We'll be announcing this year's bands very soon, so check back
here for more details!

We're in the planning stages of the 2005 festival and, unfortunately,
we're going to be looking for a new venue. The Shakespeare
Tavern won't be available in July, so we'll have to hold the festival elsewhere.
If anyone knows of an appropriate venue (preferably a theater), please
let us know!
Also, I've finally
finished updating the page for the 2004
festival.
