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
