Goth Girl Field Trip (GGFT) began two-and-a-half years ago as a free rave on the bank of the Connecticut River in Southern Vermont. Since then, the music label, collective, and community has become a staple in the Western Massachusetts electronic and digital hardcore scenes. Drawing on the ethos of the Connecticut River Valley’s long history of Hardcore DIY organizing by translating it to an electronic palette, GGFT has created a distinctly off-genre space that’s redefining heavy music in Western Massachusetts.
This documentary follows the members of Goth Girl Field Trip at their twelfth show (GGFT12) and a number of adjacent events, listening as they reflect on their creative philosophies and practices.
