Powerfest Lineup Announced Ft. Ripship, The Biscuits, Jang + More

Powertool Records are making a big to-do of their 20th anniversary, dusting off a top-shelf 38-piece tool box of local rockin' rabble-rousers to celebrate twenty years of alt-rock and almost 200 releases. Powerfest is an expansion of the label's Kaleidoscope World Series showcase that they've been putting on since 2003, but this time they've got nearly 40 bands, four stages and are linking up with the New Lynn record fair.
