The festivities launch next Friday (December 19) with performances from Greater Boston groups Exit 18, Tysk Tysk Task (pictured above), and Literally\/Nobody, plus Portland, Maine’s Little Oso.

Like last year, visual projection artists Digital Awareness will be on site, casting dreamy imagery over the evening’s performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snowgaze Fest’s return cements an uptick in genre-specific indie festivals that have taken root around Greater Boston in recent years. Somergloom is now a metal-lead tradition in Somerville every summer, the Boston Fuzztival<\/a> has been going strong for 10-plus editions, and the new chiptune celebration Boston Bitdown has already started to announce performers slated for its second edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
