The SKRONKATHON is an all-day marathon of experimental and weird music featuring some of the Bay Area's best creative musicians. Launched back in 2001 at Tuva Space, a lamented storefront venue near the Ashby BART station, the SKRONKATHON was created to showcase the diverse community of musicians, united by a keen sense of inhabiting a fragile realm far outside mainstream music tastes. After a number of dormant years, sfSound's MOSSWOOD SOUND SERIES is reviving this unique event for what we hope to become an annual event once again.
With 18 acts utilizing both rooms of the beautiful Mosswood Chapel for continuous music, this event is a great way to sample what the scene has to offer! Come to hear just a few sets, or the entire 8 hours.
