Forward Unto FEST!!!

damonbtppr

The Fest in Gainesville Florida is considered by many to be the best punk festival in the United States if not the world. Folks from everywhere make the yearly trek to partake in 3 days of music, community and comraderie. I thought it might be fun to interview some of my and your favorite attendees, their bands, their brands, and see what makes this such a special event in the hearts and minds of so many. I'll try to get as many in as i can and hopefully convey a little of the joy it evokes!

Without further ado:



Name, rank and serial number. Tell the readers who you are, what you do and where you do it!

My name is Jason Heob, and I’m from the STL. I play bass in P.F.R. Play bass and share vocal duty in NoPoint and Haunted Hers. 



How many times have you partaken?

This will be year 7or 8. Can’t remember 


Do you prefer to tour in or drive in?

We haven’t played….. YET!!!


Gotcha! Well fingers crossed because I think any of your bands would land nicely on a FEST roster!

Who are you most excited to see this year, since you aren't playing?

Oh man, that’s a tough one!! Probably The Copyrights and Tim Barry. Also excited to see Hans Gruber and the Die Hards again. 


Yes! I'll def be looking for you at the Grubers and Copyrights sets!

Have a favorite Fest memory that's shareable to our readers?

My favorite Fest memory Probably see 88 Fingers Louie at 8 seconds with my best friend the first year we went. 


Beverage of choice for long days of band watching and hanging out?

Fest punch I am gonna miss the fest punch from high dive this year!!!Hopefully someone else makes it this year. 


What does FEST make you grateful for?

That I’m still playing music with some of my best friends and best people on the planet.


 Favorite way to wake up in Gainesville?

Only slightly hung over!!! Hahaha 


Finally the big one: If the moon were made of spare ribs would you take a bite?

You bet your ass I would!


 Any Fun fact about you, your bands, or your FESTING we should know before I let you go?

Between my wife and I we have been to almost every fest, but never together. Weird right?


WHAAAAA??????! Well, that's all we time for today but I'm going to be asking about that last answer when I see you downtown!


Thank you for playing Jason!
