Well, it’s 2012, and if the Mayans have anything to say about it, then this will be about it. Or maybe they just figured they could add to the calendar later. Either way, now’s as good a time as any to say your goodbyes when you see your pals at New York City’s second annual noise festival, Ende Tymes. Go watch the many performers wreak audible havoc through cathartic cacophonies as giant meteors hurdle toward Earth and volcanoes begin to quake.
The festival, organized by Bob Bellerue, has already announced its official lineup and has implemented a Kickstarter fundraiser to ensure a quality festival and proper artist reimbursement. And since certain donation increments award you with a weekend pass, then why the hell not chip in, you lazy fuck? It’s the end of the fucking world, anyways.
