KNOXVILLE ‹ Planet Caravan producers AC Entertainment have just unveiled the custom artwork for the 2009 festival. Alan Forbes¹ design will be featured on festival t-shirts and a limited run of event posters. His images are well known in the world of hard rock and heavy metal from his work with such bands as Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins, High on Fire, Pelican, Earthless and many more.
This announcement also comes with the addition of a bonus festival activity–showings of John Srebalus¹ documentary film Such Hawks Such Hounds. The film explores the music and musicians of the American hard rock underground, focusing on the psychedelic and ¹70s proto-metal-derived styles that have in recent years formed a rich body of unclassifiable sounds. Such Hawks will be shown after each day¹s music on the outdoor viewing patio at The Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company. Showings start at 12:30AM, only a short walk from the Orange Peel and Mo Daddy¹s. The Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company offers great food and delicious local beers, all available during the film. Weekend pass purchasers will also receive 15% off food with their festival laminate.
Planet Caravan, a two-day music festival celebrating the origins of heavy music, takes place September 18-19, 2009 at The Orange Peel Social Aid & Pleasure Club and Mo Daddy¹s in downtown Asheville, NC.
