NY EYE & EAR FEST has been praised by top media publications...

... "a giant, swarming, lovingly handpicked showcase of grassroots cultural production in New York" - Arthur Magazine

... "showcasing the best in New York's rough edges--the bands too ugly to be embraced by indie-rock blogs, but too good to be doomed to MySpace obscurity" - Village Voice

... "offers what many view as the only legit glimpse into the bubbling cauldron of NYC’s true underground music scene" - Vice Magazine

Pendu presents: NY Eye & Ear Fest ... a massive annual New Music and Arts Fete showcasing some of the most exciting bands, artists, and filmmakers currently living and working here in NYC. In addition, NYE&E assembles a Record Fair featuring NYC-based Record Labels and Vendors selling LPs, CDs, 7''s, cassettes, lathes, comics, zines, stickers, and art prints. The title of the fest is inspired from the 1964 NY Eye & Ear Control soundtrack by Albert Ayler as well as the all-too-familiar signs seen daily in the subway tunnels by riders of the L-train of the infamous NY Eye & Ear Infirmary. NYE&E exists to facilitate the introduction of new artists placing them side-by-side with the more well-known like an eclectic living mixtape of sound and vision. This is a festival for discovery - discover new bands + discover new art + buy new records + meet new people...
