Cheap Fest IV went down down the weekend before Halloween at Strange Matter and Gallery 5, featuring three days crammed with the best experimental music and outright noise craziness promoters Gary Stevens and Matt Boettke were able to dig up. The RVA Mag crew was super busy with Halloweek for the entire weekend, but fortunately, photographer David Kenedy was on hand for the entire thing, and sent us back some great shots from the front row. Here’s what he had to say about the event:
“This was a really crazy three day show–so many incredible artists were here from all over the place. Cheap Fest features the freakiest of the freakies, a true experimental sound and performance art circus party time. Blood was shed, people got naked, and everyone had an amazing time!”
