Krazy Krew Fantasy Fest

Krazy Fest was the brain child of Initial Records President Andy Rich. It was a weekend long music and lifestyle festival that ran annually for six years from 1998 through 2003. Over the years Krazy Fest would help introduce music fans to such bands as Dashboard Confessional, AFI, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, The Dillinger Escape Plan and several other artists that would go on to platinum selling status.
