NW Metalfest 2019
Bio: Originally founded by concert promoter, Lipstick bassist and local scenester Brett Miller, he launched the first Metalfest on September 19, 1981 at Lake Hills Roller Rink/Crossroads. This landmark concert featured TKO, The Mob (featuring members of Queensryche), Babylon (featuring Geoff Tate on vocals and singing for both bands that historic night), Perennial, Open Fire, Myth, Rampage and Little Wing. The second Metalfest was held on August 29, 1982 and again TKO were the headliners - along with the first NW appearance of Portland's Wild Dogs, Culprit, Overlord, Realms, Myth (with Geoff Tate on vocals) and Kidskin.

By 1984, DJ and future Rocket writer Jeff Gilbert had taken the mantle from Brett Miller and launched his Ground Zero Record label with the now legendary compilation album and borrowed the NW Metalfest name (with Brett's permission). A subsequent release party concert was held at the Moore Theater on May 12, 1984 featuring all of the bands on the record including: Miller's own Lipstick, Overlord, Open Fire, Koda Khan, Mace, Bondage Boys, Strike, SATO (featuring a young Mike Starr) and the mighty Metal Church (in their 1st Seattle concert). All these shows, as well as the Headbanger's Balls that were held at Lake Hills and The Moore, were a great success.

In March of 2018, NW Metalfest returned! James R. Beach and Brian Naron of the retro record label NW Metalworx Music (also soon to include a history book on the NW metal scenes) joined forces with local musicians and concert promoters/bookers Amy Lee Carlson and Max Nazaryan (of Substratum) and Portland based Michael Podrybau (of Glacier and Harlot) and brought you a 2-day extravaganza at El Corazon/Funhouse. It was a fantastic weekend that people are still talking about.

Co-Presented by NW Metalworx Music and KISW Metal Shop, NW Metalfest will this time be held at the historic Washington Hall on Capitol Hill. An all-day event this time and it will happen on March 2nd, 2019.  Once again we will have a blend of reunited original '80s NW bands, musicians who played the early Metalfests and Headbanger's Balls at Lake Hills and Moore Theater, and newer bands whove managed to re-ignite the fire and are carrying the torch. Music, merchandise, a historical archive display, awards, a swap meet and more. Come celebrate the rich Northwest history of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music!
