The club’s booker turned him down saying that his music was too punk. Lach responded by opening an after-hours club on the Lower East Side the following year naming it the Fort. His first event started during the week of the New York Folk Festival and so he labeled it the New York Antifolk Festival.

During the more than two decades since the Fort’s opening the police shut down the first location after a year when it became a traveling club before settling down at the Sidewalk in 1993 Antifolk has become an internationally recognized movement and served as a launching pad for artists like Beck Regina Spektor Michelle Shocked Nellie McKay and the Moldy Peaches.

But the label’s distinction goes far beyond that. It’s a model the labels continue to abide by. “It seems to me that Touch and Go and Dischord Records are almost identical in that when they were just getting their legs they both managed to put out about 20-30 consecutively excellent influential records” said Andy Coronado whose Monorchid were announced Friday (August 11) as the last band on the bill.

That’s my whole music scene. The Gauntlet: What type of punk do you like?Dennis: I am into the Fat Wreckords stuff and some of the emo stuff like Fugazi. I definitely like the Hellacopters and Backyard Babies. I do like the new Slayer album in a trippy way.

Are they serious?“Swampman” with an almost Minutemen feel in the verse music has vocalist Boo telling a story of being struck down by the monster’s mighty sword in a comically ghost story-type voice. “Portland Is for Lovers” if you ignore the vocals sounds like a muddier Hives just rock and roll with frequent drum breaks under the group screams. The vocals alternate from gruff to more melodic. To clarify Covered in Bees are not from regon this is Portland Maine we’re talking about a city that appears to have quite an incestuous scene… Are they serious?“Swampman” with an almost Minutemen feel in the verse music has vocalist Boo telling a story of being struck down by the monster’s mighty sword in a comically ghost story-type voice. “Portland Is for Lovers” if you ignore the vocals sounds like a muddier Hives just rock and roll with frequent drum breaks under the group screams.
