Fools Fest is KCSU's annual punk festival, always set to happen around April Fools Day! Every year, KCSU gathers local punk and punk-adjacent bands to play on Colorado State University's campus, creating a unique and exciting event for all to enjoy. KCSU's music directors, Mia Templien and Ria Janapati, had the opportunity to sit down with a few of the bands performing for some in-depth interviews.

Dry Ice is a project that started when Pierre Booth and Ethan Rovno were in high school; Booth watched "School Of Rock" and was hooked instantly. Mazzy Madeira and Catherine joined a few years ago, making the band what it is today. Dry Ice is described with a wide variety of genres, but the ones that stick out are riot grrrl, punk, and "Limp Biskit Nickelback-Core". Many of their inspirations include bands in metal and punk bands like Hole and Destiny Bond, a local band from Denver. Dry Ice is going on an East Coast tour starting in May, and has new music coming out soon!
