Things are not looking good for CY Fest, the underground punk/hardcore/metal festival that’s supposed to come to Los Angeles in a week and a half. Last week, the Instagram page @Feral_bonobos, which lists itself as “the beginning of a decentralized feminist coalition within the punk scene,” circulated many sexual misconduct allegations against festival promoter Ignacio Rodriguera, who goes by the name Nacho Corrupted. Since then, a number of bands have dropped off of the festival, and its immediate future looks truly dubious.
