Trashfest is returning for its second year in a row and is hosted by an Athens musical favorite, Heffner. Heffner’s popularity has been on the ups with every new album it releases, and with the addition of Tommy Trautwein, the group has only made a bigger name for themselves. The first Trashfest took place last year at 40 Watt Club to celebrate the band’s second album release. Parallel to last year’s event, Trashfest II is a grand celebration of Heffner’s third studio album, Super Bowl LXIX, and will include performances by Girlpuppy, T. Hardy Morris, Sex Cell (formerly Sex Cells), Commüne, Shane T and Secondhand Sound, plus a late night DJ set from Mayor Kelly Girtz. Heffner is viewing this shindig as the perfect followup to Athens’ annual Wild Rumpus Parade & Spectacle, which takes place the same night.
