KAHBANG has quickly become one of the largest indie discovery festivals in New England. Each year over 75 performers play in venues across downtown Bangor throughout the festival, culminating with approximately 30 musical acts performing on the waterfront festival grounds on the final two days of the festival. The festival was founded in 2009 by Timothy Lo and Chas Bruns, featuring acts including Matt & Kim, Ra Ra Riot, Ida Maria, April Smith, Royal Bangs, The Gay Blades and The Killing Moon. In 2010 the festival expanded to include a film festival. Like its counterparts, the film festival focused on showcasing emerging filmmakers and independently produced works.

Without the generous efforts of our volunteers the KAHBANG festival would not exist as it does today. There are many levels to accomplishing our goal including but not limited too running our ticket booth, stage hands present for moving equipment, escorting at local venues, managing the merchandise tent, etc.
