Cropped Out is a locally and independently developed music festival set to take place in Louisville, Kentucky, September 28 to 30. Designed to highlight the creative efforts of Louisville natives, as well as fellow thinkers from outside the Derby City, the three-day festival aims to to turn heads, if only for one weekend, toward the talents of those often omitted, overlooked or “cropped out.” This year’s festival is highlighted by such Agit favs as Slug Guts, TV Ghost, Jandek, and Chain and the Gang, as well as Eugene Chadbourne, Merchandise, Lil’ B, and Papa M, who will top things off at Sunday’s closing festivities.
