In less than two weeks, over fifty bands will descend upon Louisville, KY to perform at the resurrected Krazy Fest, some old (Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, Coalesce) and some new (Tigers Jaw, Lemuria, Fireworks). For those who remember the original run of Krazy Fests in the late 90s and early 2000s, it's a time to reminisce about those days and reflect on what's changed since then, and for the younger crowd Krazy Fest is a time to see a bevy of hungry, diverse new acts perform in the same place and hopefully discover a new band they weren't expecting, be it from the old guard or the new.

Punknews staff writer Kira Wisniewski explored the origins of the festival and talked to the organizers as well as bands performing that weekend to discuss Krazy Fest's past, present and future, why it took eight years for it to come back and what both the bands and attendees can expect come May 20-22.
