The Cannibals, The Monsters and Los Fossiles at Funtastic Dracula Festival, Valencia

Indeed, Friends of Funtastic! The second edition of the year's maddest party is all set to go. Cross the dates of Friday 13th and Saturday 14th of October in your calendars, with a warm up party for the most dedicate on Thursday 12th, a national holiday.

This year, we change the setting - we'll be at Barraca, a famous disco located at Les Palmeres Beach near Sueca (Valencia), providing more space, more hours and more powerful sound equipment for the live shows and DJ allnighters on Friday and Saturday. From 9PM to 9AM, a gathering of artists specially fit for the party will appear on stage and DJ booths, every one of them remarkable - but one of the highlights will happen on Saturday the 14th, with the first European appearance of the Norton All-Star Revue, commemorating the unmissable record label's 20th anniversary with The A-Bones, their founders Billy Miller & Miriam Linna's band, appearing onstage, with labelmates Andre Williams and The Great Gaylord providing a tasty if strong garnish. Same night before them, we'll enjoy the personal takes on punk by The Spits and on French 60s beat with Cecilia et Ses Ennuis, doing their only comeback show!

The night before, Friday the 13th, will be devoted to The Horror From Aeons Gone - appearing on a Spanish stage for the first time will be Mike Spenser's The Cannibals, Trash Rock's founding fathers, and The Monsters, Lightnin' Beatman's garage band - some of you may have witnessed his over the top last year's performance as Reverend Beatman One-Man Band. Last but not least - NO WAY - local 80s garage legends Los Fóssiles, will be reuniting for yet another exclusive reunion gig!
