SPB featured stream: Caterwaul 2024

Posted in Site News on May 1, 2024

Running May 24-27 in Minneapolis, this year's lineup at Caterwaul features a ton of heavy hitters. We've posted about the event previously and you can find those links on the site easily enough. Or simply visit the Caterwaul website and buy some tickets.

But first, check out this 10-track sampler that provides a taste of what's in store at the four day concert. Our sampler includes songs by Brainiac, J. Robbins, Oxbow, The Austerity Program, DEAD and more. Just hit the player below for the full track listing.

 

Here's a statement from the collective Caterwaul team, comprised of Conan Neutron, Rainer Fronz, and Melanie Thomas.

Caterwaul is a celebration of independent-minded, iconoclastic, noisy music. With Caterwaul we make a promise to showcase the paragons of the weird, whilst also prioritizing the community spirit that holds us all together. We are working harder than ever to make sure that our 2024 version will top the previous editions. Count on it.

Additional artists playing include Gay Witch Abortion, Cougars, Couch Slut, Murf, Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, Scrunchies, and more.
