https://www.rhizomedc.org/new-events/2022/12/14/garbage-fest
Garbagefest is Food Not Bombs DC's annual benefit show, a celebration of punk, community, and the dumpster. Food Not Bombs DC is a mutual aid group which serves the encampments in downtown Washington, DC on a weekly basis since its founding in 2013. We take food which would otherwise go to waste, prepare it, and share it, to provide delicious vegan meals at these encampments. Food Not Bombs stands for eliminating hunger, by ending the use of physical force which allows hunger to persist. Globally, Food Not Bombs chapters exist all over the world as a decentralized network.
The Mostly Dead Debuting in 2008, The Mostly Dead have worked with luminaries including J. Robbins, Brian McTernan, and Mike Schleibaum, and they have toured throughout the country, including an appearance at SXSW, playing with such bands as Gallows, Defeater, Flatfoot 56, The Business, and Underdog. They have released numerous albums and EPs, which have been described as “musically intense soirees featuring mostly punk tinged up-tempo tracks that meld into dark-tinted metal” and “fast paced and hard hitting...characterized by loud guitars, pounding drums, and angst filled vocals."
Cecil and Delilah are six friends making harmony laden folk-rock and dreaming of eco-socialism. Trumpet blasts and shouts disrupt quiet melodies as the band gulps for air and cries out for hope.
Gabbo is the solo project of nonbinary DC resident and outsider pop creative Gab Franks. Known for recording music as a teen under the moniker Frankie Goes on a Walk, and as part of Baltimore lunar rock band Moon By Moon, Gabbo’s multi-genre discography experiments with elements of pop, folk and emo. Their debut full-length is set to release in early 2023, and combines acoustic folk stylings with a psychedelic/electronic mixing approach, describing it “like if 'Love is Overtaking Me' by Arthur Russell and 'Tomboy' by Panda Bear had a baby.”
