The inaugural C-Fest event, dubbed Freakfest by the event’s creator/mad scientist Lance Brenner, packed the Satellite Ballroom with two stages and 10 bands on Saturday, September 8. After doors opened at 8pm, bands alternated stages for sets until each had the chance to let its freak flag fly. Above, a tank-topped Peter Markush and Morgan Moran of the Falsies take to the stage following a set by the Love Tentacle Drip Society and turn the venue into a mad, hot Ballroom.

Kim Dylla, frontwoman for the maniacal metal act This Means You, twists and shouts her way through her band’s late evening set: a blistering, seething wreckage of heavy noise that capped the evening at Satellite Ballroom on a ferocious note.

Putting the "mental" in "multi-instrumentalist": Proving that members of the Love Tentacle Drip Society are too sexy for their shirts, music whiz kid Charles Carrier sheds some clothes and shakes it up with his band during what may have been their final gig—founding member Sean Zimmer leaves for college soon. We’ll miss these Tentacles but, with more C-Fest events planned, we won’t miss any more great tunes.
