RippleFest Texas 2021: Mothership to Headline; Grail Added

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 18th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

Some anticipated news this Tuesday afternoon as Mothership join the lineup for the inaugural Ripplefest Texas. Not only are they a flagship band of Ripple Music, and not only are they among the most favored sons of the Lonestar State as regards heavy rock and roll, but they posted on the social medias last week that their first show announcement in more than a year would be coming today, and, well, Tuesday is when the Ripplefest Texas 2021 reveals have been happening. The pieces all fit.

Joining Mothership and the rest of the was-slammed-as-it-was bill for the Aug. 7 doings are Grail from Arizona. As to whether or not that’s everybody who will play, it depends entirely on what Lick of My Spoon Productions/Ripple mean when they say “more surprises to announce.” Though really, if they called it a fest as it is, they’ve done a hell of a job pulling something out of thin air, and it’s been refreshing looking forward to the announcements for a festival.

You going? I may yet:

RippleFest Texas 2021 Adds Wino, Freedom Hawk, High Desert Queen & Fostermother to Lineup

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 12th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

This week brings four more acts for the inaugural Ripplefest Texas, and with Wino, Freedom Hawk, Fostermother and High Desert Queen joining in the fun, it’s starting to look like a pretty stacked bill. Headliners are still to be announced — take your pick among TX or Ripple-associated heavy and feel free to let me know whom you’d choose — but one way or the other, this is a lot for a one-day fest.

It’s outdoors, which you’d probably want at this point, and I’m just going to assume it’s more than one stage — maybe two alternating? — to account for this many with more to come. Or maybe the party starts early? I don’t know. I guess after a year-plus of no shows it’s fair enough to want to pack in as much as possible. Got your shot yet? This is a pretty good argument in favor of doing so if not.

Social media has it like this, and there’s the ticket link and whatnot as well:

RippleFest Texas 2021 Adds Howling Giant, Forming the Void and Mr. Plow to Lineup

Posted in Whathaveyou on May 5th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

Not that I just looked it up or anything, but New Braunfels, Texas, which is where the inaugural Ripplefest Texas is being held come Aug. 7, is a 27-hour drive from my house. I’d assume a flight is faster, but, well, I don’t know that. Either way, bringing Mr. Plow — ! — and Howling Giant and Forming the Void on board only has me searching out travel plans more readily.

There will be another announcement still to come next week, and headliners still as well — I’ve heard rumors but nothing confirmed — so there will be more news between now and August. But either way, on what level would you not be looking forward to this? I’m dying to see how the rest of this bill fills out, and I guess dying to see how much flights cost to Texas in August. Looks like it might be a bit too much of a drive.

Apparently ticket prices are going up as we get closer to the event, so if you’re thinking about it, might be worth getting in on it early.

Info:

Get your tickets now as they are going fast and the price will increase as we announce more bands.

RippleFest Texas 2021 Announced for Aug. 7; Void Vator, Thunder Horse, Switchblade Jesus, Witchcryer, Holy Death Trio and Bone Church Confirmed

Posted in Whathaveyou on April 29th, 2021 by JJ Koczan

This is an in-person event. Feels weird even saying that, but also refreshing in a way. Set for Aug. 7 at the Texas Ski Ranch in New Braunfels — between San Antonio and Austin, if you’re looking to fly in — the upcoming RippleFest Texas 2021 purports to be the first in an ongoing annual series, and that’s a hell of a time to make a debut. Early, but I have no doubt they’ll get people out for it. Shit, I’d go.

The first lineup announcement — more to come, reportedly — brings Void VatorBone ChurchWitchcryerHoly Death TrioThunder Horse and Switchblade Jesus to the bill, and leaves plenty of room for speculation on others. Of course, Texas is awash in bands, now as ever. Would Mothership headline in a triumphant return? What about the more recent offshoot of that band and Destroyer of LightTemple of Love who premiered a Deep Purple cover here not so long ago? That’d be a cool first gig, even if they’re not signed to Ripple (yet).

Like I said, lots of room for speculation. One way or another, though, I know a party when I see one, and this looks like a party. Not sure I’d bring a swimsuit — pandemic beach body? that’s a hard pass — but I’d definitely bring earplugs enough to share.

Lick of My Spoon Productions, which is co-hosting, put up the announcement that follows. Tickets are available now:
