GRECO: THE INVENTOR OF COOL

Ok. Honestly, I don't want to play favorites, but I'm about to. Greco is one of the performances I'm most excited to see at Total Fest this year. Greco is the solo synth-pop project of Flagstaff, AZ music legend, Chris Greco. When we met, he was concerned I didn't get what he was going for. 
Trust me Greco, I get it. I really get it.

His album, Denim Don't Dry, is what kept me pumped our entire tour last year. Anytime we were stuck in traffic, it was an unspoken rule that we would listen to, and sing along with Greco. From the first time I heard my favorite track, uhh, I knew I had to get Greco to Missoula.
If you're into people who are into themselves, this is a band you'll love. If I've ever given you a ride, chances are, we've listened to this.

CUSTODY BATTLE, well we’ve won this one for Total Fest

They are coming back Missoula!

Hide yer kids, hide yer wife! Pickle, Loren and Travis are returning to Total Fest X to follow up their kick-ass set from last year. We had an effing blast down in the Palace and I distinctly remember seeing some melted faces from the punk-ass garage fallout brought on by Travis and Loren's insane shredding, and Pickle's maniac drum skillz.

These boys bring a good portion of Flagstaff with ‘em to party and have a good time. They’ll be here to jump off bridges and float the river with you, PBRs in tow. The flagstaff kids know how to party, there's even a party sounds track on their 10”, and did I mention they party? I can’t wait for these dudes to return and bring their flagstaff family and straightforward, plugged in, punctuated songs.

CUSTODY BATTLE: TOTALLY!
It wouldn't be Total Fest with out a little Flagstaffery and it's safe to say that we're pretty pleased with what's coming our way this year. Custody Battle is pretty intense in a 90s punk/garage kind of way, which is great and a fantastic fit into this year's line-up. We always have fun with the Flagstaff crowd and since we've been listening to Custody Battle's demo they sent in (recorded to tape by one Greg Casebeer) ... well, it's hard not to get excited.

They're not holding anything back, they're not hiding a thing; they're recording sweet songs, they'd like you to dance. Dearest Missoula, Total Fest IX is proud to announce Custody Battle.
