THE FESTIVAL HAS MOVED TO A LARGER LOCATION
Farmageddon Records Music Festival 2012 has been relocated. Due to the current expected attendance numbers and space limitations at Longhorn Saloon on Hebgen Lake, The Festival has been moved to 10 Denny Creek Road off of Targhee Pass HWY/HWY 20 -just 6 miles west of the town of West Yellowstone and only 20 miles from the former location at Longhorn Saloon on Hebgen Lake. The new location offers The Festival much more space, is just as scenic, and is more convenient for those staying in West Yellowstone.
We understand some of you may have booked accommodations close to the Longhorn Saloon on Hebgen Lake for the weekend and the location change may inconvenience you and your travel to and from the Festival. If so, please contact us at farmageddonrecords@yahoo.com and we will do what we can to provide you with information on alternative accommodations closer to the new location.
The new location also offers more space on the Festival grounds for primitive camping (There have been 5 addition RV passes added on attendstar) and is situated very close to Yellowstone Park KOA located about 1 mile East of the Festival Grounds at 3305 Targhee Pass HWY/HWY 20. Visit their website yellowstonekoa.com or call 800-562-7591 for reservations.
Even closer is West Yellowstone Super 8 located at 1545 Targhee Pass HWY/HWY 20 half a mile from the Festival Grounds and 7.5 miles from town. Call them at 406-646-9584 for reservations or visit super8.com for more information.
Farmageddon Records Music Festival will be providing shuttle bus service to and from The Festival each day on a regular schedule with a drop off and pick up point in the town of West Yellowstone for anyone staying in town.
For all festival guidelines and the entire schedule please scroll to the bottom of this newsletter. Please share this with your friends!

Southern Culture On The Skids
Friday July 20th 7:30PM!
Nothing is more Southern than Southern Culture on the Skids. Formed in 1983, the Chapel Hill, N.C.-based hillbilly surf-rockers formed their image on the concept of everything so wonderfully south of the Mason-Dixon - with songs like, "Banana Pudding." "We just started writing about things we grew up with and Southern things," guitarist Rick Miller said. "It really evolved around food and geography - and we indulged our sense of humor and licked some musical inspiration from the '50s and '60s. Anything from classic country to rockabilly to swamp pop. Southern forms of music is a very rich field to mine, so we've made own brand and we do our own thing." Within this musical mine-field, the band has concocted a melting pot of blended Americana. |
Slim Cessna's Auto Club Saturday July 21st 10PM
Engaging, riveting, sad and humorous; demanding the audience to participate both live and while listening to their albums; Slim Cessna's Auto Club has been branded with every musical description possible. This seems fitting, as SCAC describes their music as American (Is that not what America is and has been, a mixture of every one and thing resulting in something new?); and after two decades of working and living as SCAC, they have created their own genre. The instruments are drums, upright bass, pedal steel, banjos, piano, guitar, vocals and stories. They have recorded critically acclaimed albums (Village Voice, Denver Post, San Francisco Chronicle) on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label. Spin Magazine and No Depression have described them as the best live band in America. The songs are each thoughtfully crafted with unique arrangements, executed by superb musicianship, then fully realized through original, insightful and intelligent lyrics. With two of the most charismatic frontmen around (Westword) and four accomplished musicians, SCAC is the past, present and future of American music. |

Shooter Jennings & The Farmageddon Boys
Saturday July 21st 7:30PM
One of the highlight performances of the 2012 Farmageddon Records Music Festival will be when Shooter Jennings takes the stage! He will be backed by James Hunnicutt, Graham Lindsey, Jayke Orvis, Liz Sloan, and a few familiar faces like Braxton Brandenberg of the Ugly Valley Boys! Rumor has it that Bob Wayne might be joining in for a song! There will be a tribute set, paying homage to Shooter's dad, the one and only Waylon Jennings! This is a set you don't want to miss!

Eerie Von Sunday July 22nd 7:30PM
 Born on 08/25/1964, Eerie grew up in Lodi, NJ and graduated from Lodi High School in 1982 with Steve Zing and Doyle of The Misfits. Before joining Samhain, Eerie played drums for the Lodi bandRosemary's Babies. He also was a roadie and photographer for The Misfits. Originally in Samhainas the drummer, Eerie later switched to bass to take advantage of his potential as a stage presence, replacing Al Pike. When the band changed its name to Danzig, Eerie remained, playing on the first 4 Danzig albums, and developing a close relationship with the band's fans. After Eerie and John Christ left the band in July 1995, he later formed Bighouse, and recorded solo albums, one with Mike Morance. |
|
The Goddamn Gallows Sunday July 22nd 10:30PM
Words will not do any justice to The GDG. These guys put on one of the most entertaining live shows around! This band has been building momentum since the bands conception in 2007. They have added new members over the years and refined the bands sound into something truly original, it falls between the lines of Punk-Rock & Bluegrass, with hints of Americana & Folk, and a few Psychobilly Tones for good measure. If you haven't had the chance to see these guys live yet, you are in for a treat! |
|
Jayke Orvis & the Broken Band Sunday July 22nd 8:30PM
Jayke Orvis has been setting and raising the bar for punks-turned-pickers ever since his days in .357 String Band of which he is a founding and former member. Known for his lightning quick mandolin picking, he effortlessly infuses punk, rock, blues, gypsy, honky-tonk, bluegrass and old-time to develop a style all his own helping to define the sound of a genre while simultaneously, and gratifyingly, making it all that much more difficult to pin a name onto.
After leaving Milwaukee in 2007 he relocated to Pittsburgh, PA where he now calls home, that is when he's not touring nearly full-time as mandolin and banjo player with The Goddamn Gallows, or for his own project as singer, instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader for Jayke Orvis & The Broken Band. His debut offering,It's All Been Said, was released in 2010 on Farmageddon Records and has received airplay on Sirius and helped to earn him an Artist Of The Year 2010 nod from Saving Country Music. |
|
Sean & Zander! 10PM Friday July 20th!
 A recent and welcomed addition to the fest roster! Based on the resumes of vocalist Sean Wheeler (Throw Rag) and multi-instrumentalist Zander Schloss (Circle Jerks, the Weirdos, Joe Strummer), you'd expect a rambunctious sound emanating from the Legendary Duo, but you'd be wrong. The twosome plays a hybrid of folk, country, pop, ragtime, bluegrass and gospel that includes all the frenzied energy and spirit of the duo's aforementioned bands, but is executed with a soulful dash of Americana charm not often heard west of the Mississippi. |
The Sawyer Family! Thursday July 19th! 9:45PM
 Drawing inspiration from the gloomy climate of the Pacific Northwest, The Sawyer Family are, at once, steeped in mythology and darkness, and eerily real. Originally formed in 2001 in Eugene, Oregon, the band has continuously evolved in the decade since, writing darker, heavier material, but still retaining the flairs of melody and harmony their fans came to expect from them. Catch them live at the Farmageddon Records Music Festival Pre-Party on Thursday July 19th! |
|
J.B. Beverley & Friends Saturday July 21st 7:30PM
J.B. Beverley was born in Virginia in 1977. Reared in a musical household, Beverley grew up on early country, bluegrass, rockabilly, big band, and various forms of old time blues. By his teens, the punk bug had bit, and nights at DC's 9:30 Club, and other haunts, became the norm. Learning the drums and guitar, J.B. formed his first band THE BAD HABITS in 1993. An old-school punk sound, rooted
in influences like The Misfits, FEAR, Black Flag, and Mot�rhead, the Bad Habits (three different incarnations) made an small name for themselves in the DC area until calling it a day in 1996. J.B. has been a strong figure in traditional country and honky tonk music since the mid to late 90's. His song writing abilities reach out to the working class, the folks that like real music, not the over polished pop stuff. His music is real, J.B. is real, and his live performances are not to missed. Originally J.B. was supposed to be backed by Liquorbox at Farm-Fest, but that fell through due to last minute van problems. He will pull his band for the festival from the many talented music friends that will be there, like James Hunnicutt & Jayke Orvis. |
Graham Lindsey Saturday July 21st 5:30PM
Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact. Armed with a guitar, banjo, and an arsenal of harmonicas, Lindsey also performs with a drummer, his wife Tina.
|
|
James Hunnicutt Saturday July 21st 6:30PM
James Hunnicutt is a very talented musician, hailing from Port Orchard Washington, his musical abilities are seemingly unreal. Hunnicutt has such a wide range of musical influences, ranging from Hank Williams, The Beatles, to Slayer. James has a powerful voice, with a range that would baffle many who listen, he was also born with perfect pitch. Catch James will not only be performing his own solo material at the festival, he will be sitting in with Shooter Jennings, Graham Lindsey, J.B. Beverley, & Eerie Von! James puts his heart & soul into his music, and it shows!
|
Phillip Roebuck Saturday July 21st 1:30PM
 PHILLIP ROEBUCK is a Virginia-born, New York-bred songster and bare bones one-man band. With punk rock intensity, Roebuck stomps out beats on a classic, depression-era drum apparatus, while strumming the banjo with a fierce ragged-but-right style.
Although he has played over a thousand shows in venues and on festival stages in the U.S. and Europe, Roebuck can just as easily be seen performing on a street corner in New Orleans or New York City, where he has spent nearly a decade honing his skills as a one-man band. |
|
Bob Wayne & The Outlaw Carnies Saturday July 21st 11:30PM
Bob Wayne is as true of a DIY act as there is, kicking off his career without an agent, manager, record label, proper touring vehicle or fulltime backing band. He picked up and moved from the Pacific Northwest to Nashville and was instantly embraced by the community of underbelly outlaws whose stripped down and straightforward country cuts through the mainstream noise and pop pretenders. "You can't rely on waiting around," he insists. "You just go. That's what I do. I'm just going to keep doing it."
Bob Wayne songs often deal with the spiritual torment of living life pulled between good and evil; or they are about cutting loose and partying with your best friends; and then there are what he calls "the story songs."

The Calamity Cubes! Sunday July 22nd 4:30PM
The Calamity Cubes! is an acoustic three-piece from Wichita, KS featuring Brook Blanche on guitar and vocals, Joey Henry on banjo and vocals, and Kody Oh on bass and vocals. Since 2008 they have brought their acoustic-gospel-bluegrass-country-soul-punk, or self-proclaimed thrashicana, across the U.S. rousing crowds with their interactive, dynamic live sets and memorable, masterful songwriting.
Having self-released several albums already, The Calamity Cubes! third full-length and Farmageddon Records debut, Old World's Ocean, will be released in 2012.

Black Eyed Vermillion Saturday July 21st 4:30PM
Black Eyed Vermillion is Gary Lindsey (of Hank 3's Assjack) backed by The Vermillionaires consisting ofFritz 'Burger' Nation and Johnny 'Sunshine' Johnson on guitars, Kurtis D. Machler on Bass, and Bircho Birch on Drums.
Combining the elements of American roots music with the dark anger of punk and grindcore, Black Eyed Vermillion have released several recordings, their most recent The Pleasure Tide released on Farmageddon Records in 2012 featuring backup by The Inheritance -an Eastern European experimental/folk band from Austin, TX. |
|
Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy Sunday July 22nd 6:30PM
is a high-energy, acoustic brass 'n' grass outfit based out of Wichita, KS. The band, whose sound has been described as a stagecoach in overdrive, has brought their eclectic blend of punk, bluegrass, dixieland, and circus tunes to packed bars, basements, and festivals across the United States since 2007.
With tunes that cover just about everything from drinkin' to dyin' to livin' and lyin', CNS can fill the dance floor with their blazing bluegrass and circus tunes as quickly as they can provoke existential introspection with dark, slinky tunes reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral march. Blaring trombones melt into break-neck banjo solos, while the "junkyard" trap set and stand-up bass churn out hard-driving rhythms that carry the force of a Kansas freight train.
This unique blend of styles combined with the high energy maintained on stage, allows CNS to fit perfectly into any lineup including folk, bluegrass, punk, metal, ska, or jam. Always providing an energetic and drink 'em down atmosphere to any place they play, Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy has proven a dedication to their live shows with a solid understanding of what entertainment really means.
