Thrown by one of, if not the finest, rock'n'roll record labels of our time, Goner Fest is billed as four days of rock'n'roll mayhem. That description doesn't even come close to doing (it) justice… I promise the whole greasy adventure will leave you shaking your head, wondering who the hell Elvis is anyways?! Seems to me there's only one king in Memphis, and that's Goner Records - their fest is just as legendary.

The impact Goner Records has made on the ever-shifting tectonic plates of sub terrestrial rock'n'roll is undeniable. The label, record store and message board have grown into more of a cult icon and underground ganglion than just an extension of a humble Memphis record store. As a testament to Goner's influence over the past year or so, patrons and fans started popping up with permanent proclamations to Goner in the form of tattoos, a feat well beyond any measure of brand equity a company could hope for, and deservingly so. Goner's influence as a musical taste-maker can only be the result of their apparent passion and obsession for music.
