Kung Fu Crimewave and The Telethons are having their belated official release show for their split 7-inch record tonight at the 2013 Winter Antifolk Fest.

The Antifolk Festival continues, and Herb Scher (of Elastic No-No Band, The Key Lime Pie Revue, and more) has compiled a 2-decade-spanning gallery of photos from the history of Antifolk at Sidewalk. 

In addition to Weemayk artists like Joe Crow Ryan, Preston Spurlock, and Huggabroomstik, you’ll also see relatively famous faces like The Moldy Peaches, Jeffrey Lewis, Chris Barron from Spin Doctors, and even actor Michael Pitt (performing music in 2003). 

Check out the gallery here: Creativity & Community on Avenue A
