Troost DIY Fest, over the weekend off … Troost

Within stumbling distance of Troost Avenue, three houses helped host a music festival over the weekend: 15 bands for the sacred price of optional donation, and a small army of punks with nothing better to do because, face it, this really was the best thing to do. Coinciding with the release of an all- or mostly local tape compilation, Troost DIY Fest was a chance for an incestuous group of KCMO musicians, artists and lowlifes to show the underworld what they’re made of.
