No Fun Fest: Noise Rock Showcase (Event Over)
- Cost: Varies: one-day or 3-day passes

Editors' Take
Distortion, atonality and sheer aural chaos are surely on the menu at this three-day festival for noise rock aficionados.
Fans of easy listening and Celine Dion would probably rather spend a week in jail than attend this 3-day NYC festival. Those in the know will, however, delight at the way these bands push (and sometimes explode) convention.
Passes available at www.nofunfest.com.
