Merge Records isn’t the only local label hosting a festival this summer.
Chapel Hill-based Trekky Records will put on its second annual TRKfest Music Festival on June 13 in Pittsboro at Piedmont Biofuels. The festival will feature performances from an array of Triangle bands, including Trekky artists Lost in the Trees, Embarrassing Fruits, The Never, Butterflies, Vibrant Green as well as the “Official Trekky Records Vinyl Playing DJ Entity” DJ_TRK.
Last year’s festival was on May 31 and featured The Never, Bowerbirds, Endless Mic, Megafaun, Embarrassing Fruits, Hammer No More the Fingers, Butterflies, The Future Kings of Nowhere, Barghest, Wil Donegan and the Americans, Vibrant Green and Sweet By & By.
Other Triangle artists scheduled to perform are Megafaun, Ivan Rosebud, Hammer No More the Fingers, Des Ark, Midtown Dickens, Mount Moriah and The Strugglers. Richmond’s Liza Kate will also perform at the festival.
There will be no advance tickets for TRKfest, and admission is free. However, there will be a suggested $10 donation. And if you want to see more fantastic releases from Trekky, we’d suggest you donate considering the event benefits the Trekky Records Collective.
