Two years can certainly fly by, huh? One day you’re writing a story about Cropped Out 2012 and the next thing you know, you’re writing a story about Cropped Out 2014. One could get down about the seemingly-infinite cycles we get stuck into, but, you know, we’ve got a pretty good thing going. So I’m happy to tell you that the fifth annual Cropped Out festival is occurring in Louisville, Kentucky on September 26-28. This year’s lineup features the Sun Ra Arkestra led by Louisville-native Marshall Allen, Three Legged Race, Dan’l Boone, Ma Turner, Protomartyr, Obnox, Spider Bags, Urinals, and many others. Buy early bird passes here and acquire a victory for yourself.
Previous years of Cropped Out have boasted performances from the likes of R. Stevie Moore, Jandek, Sun Araw, Bill Orcutt, Angel Olsen, The Men, Scratch Acid, Julianna Barwick, Pissed Jeans, and Lil B. Perhaps you remember reading a news piece a few years back that made a big deal about that Lil B performance. Perhaps you do not. But I remember it well.
