What people are saying about Moogfest:

"a perfect little weekend." - NPR's All Songs Considered

"If it sounds like a sort of Star Trek convention for synthesizer geeks (they "air knob" invisible electronic equipment instead of pretend-Stratocasters), in a way it is. But that's precisely why Moogfest, after just two years, looks likely to become an annual fixture for Asheville - and a model for other towns and cities."

-- Reuters

"Moogfest 2011 will forever hold a sacred place in our hearts and memories, and it's more than a safe bet that we'll be game for (at least) one more magical round of synth-laden splendor before this world finally calls it quits." -- FILTER

"Moogfest came to a close Sunday with fans and business owners radiating warmth for the electronic music festival and its embrace of the city."

-- Asheville Citizen-Times
