Wooden Octopus Skull Experimental Musick PFestival
The Wooden Octopus Skull Experimental Musick PFestival is a noise and experimental music festival held annually, on the second weekend of Septemter, in Seattle, WA. It is primarily sponsored by Enterruption and Psychform Records.
2005
The first festival was held in 2005. It was widely assumed to be the continuation of the Seattle Noise Festival; however, the PFestival was a completely separate entity with no relation whatsoever to SNF.
Each day of Wooden Octopus Skull was held in a different venue.
