Bio: This is the official Facebook page for The Goregrowler's Ball Metal Festival The Goregrowler’s Ball Metal Festival was created by Aaron Mendiola, the owner/operator of Goregrowler Entertainment back in 2007. The first festival was held in November of 2007, and in all actuality, it wasn’t even supposed to be a yearly thing at all. In this year, Aaron turned 30 years old, and wanted to create a show for my birthday, and for those who know him, know he does things BIG! So a gathering of 30 bands, which most included friends of Aaron that he has known in the music scene. The fest had a lot of people in attendance to see which was mostly local bands from the area, and a few out of town or state bands. At the end of the event, it was asked to the crowd if another fest would be a good idea, and it was welcomed with open arms. So The once birthday show, has now become one of the biggest metal gatherings in South Texas. With the rise of the Metal Fest throughout the world, and with most of them keeping their titles simple like “XYZ FEST”, “XXX DEATHFEST”, etc… The birthday show name of The Goregrowler’s Ball stuck. It is a bit different of a name, but that’s the way we all like it. Even though there has been the occasional “What’s a Goregrowler?” We find that quite funny. In December of 2010, After GGB 4, Aaron decided the next years event needed to even bigger, possibly being able to rival larger festivals around the country. But he would need help. Ex-Catatonia Metal Shop owner Timothy Pittides stepped up to the plate and together they would vow to put San Antonio on the map of quality metal festivals with bigger names and bigger goals. Here we are now in 2011,The Goregrowlers Ball 2011, the fifth anniversary is booked and is exactly what the promoters wanted but most importantly, what the fans wanted. And there is no end in sight for the future of GGB! Thank you for all your support!!! Booking for Festival : Aaron Mendiola: Goregrowler@gmail.com Timothy Pittides: Catatoniatexas@gmail.com
