Riot Fest 2018: Bad Libs with Brendan Kelly

This year, for Riot Fest, we decided that we wanted to do something a little different when it came to interviews. Sure we could grab a seat in the Press Tent, brush shoulders with some of the biggest names in music, and ask them who they can’t wait to see at the festival in the upcoming days. But that’s been done year after year.

So instead, we decided to bring back a game from our youths that everyone loves. You know the one that you always played on long car rides. We bring you BAD LIBS @ Riot Fest 2018 (See what we did there? Eh? Eh?)!

Much like Andrew WK and GWAR, it’s not really Riot Fest without Brendan Kelly. While this has been the first year in some time that one of his numerous bands (The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon, Slapstick, The Broadways, The Wandering Birds) did not play the festival, he was of course in attendance. We found Beex with his lovely wife, Abi, just outside the Red Scare Party Tent. Check out their joint effort BAD LIBS!
