FYF Fest 2011

[ZachTheEskimo]

I can see Wu Lyf happening, or actually Wild Nothings now that I think about it.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I dont think you want to see an influx of hipster pregnancies directly resulting in The Weeknd performing at FYF. And no, they need to play Coachella 2012...

Uh, I want to be responsible for those pregnancies

[suprefan]

You can do it at Coachella, cause itll be easier due to those girls just being in bikinis.

[alisonnn]

fuck, please wild beats they're so great live. don't know if it's the right 'scene' though

My name is Jeffery Bonejour if any random pregnant female is ever describing me.

[Still-ill]

Jeffrey Beaumont?

[hendrixfan143]

That cass guy is pretty horrible

[GolfWang]

Social Distortion

[ZachTheEskimo]

Social Distortion

what makes you say that?

[suprefan]

...

But professional festivals are boring and this is fun... So yeah, we will give you another hint. Get to 250 "likes" & you'll get it

and now

I would get to 250 likes cause this is a VERY good hint. Its going to make a few people go HOLY SHIT FUCK YEAH NO WAY! & Bum out others

[suprefan]

Not one but two bands are playing FYF that share this zip code- M6K 1L4. Can you guess?

DFA 1979 and.........................

[dorkfish]

Fucked Up?

edit: nah

Hint #2: Neither of the bands from the M6K 1L4 zip code have played FYF... So I guess that means obvious guess isn't going to be there

BSS?

[nosurprises12]

Broken Social Scene; that would fit the "begins with B and ends with E" post mentioned yesterday.

HE. HE needs to play Coachella 2012.

SMH

[ZachTheEskimo]

I'm starting to think the Weeknd predictions are right. I have a hard time believing Broken Social Scene will be there.
Then again, I had a hard time believing Panda Bear would be there last year (or The Mountain Goats for that matter) so. . .

It's probably Broken Social Scene as there was a hint earlier that said the headliners began with a "b" and an "e" (but I think they really meant to say ends with an "e".)

Also, Weekend (not the The Weeknd) is likely to pay as they're a shoegaze/pschedelic noise group out of the Bay area that FYF has promoted before.

really? going to be a snob about the that you go out of your way to correct somebody that wasn't even wrong? Notice that they didn't capitalize the and the article is being used to describe the predictions that Weekend are playing not to describe the band itself.

Not only is this a confusing paragraph, but do you understand that Weekend and The Weeknd are two different musical projects?

[ZachTheEskimo]

Yeah, I appreciate what I think was some sort of defense, but I really have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

People are talking about The Weeknd AND Weekend playing, seperately. But since The Weeknd is from Toronto and the recent clue said there's 2 bands from Toronto I figured it might be possible, simply because I'm not really sure I believe they go Broken Social Scene for whatever reason.

I'm probably wrong though.

The B & E hint was sort of delivered as a joke rather than an actual hint, thus my skepticism.

I wasn't trying to diss your speculation or anything but was just trying to say if any of the Weekend-named bands played, it would likely be the noise-gaze one with closer proximity and a standing relationship with FYF.

Yeah, I tried not to read too much into that B and E hint either. I'm still expecting the top line of the poster to say DFA1979, Descendents and Explosions in the Sky.

[suprefan]

zomg, they wanna tease us more!

Only a few more days till the announcement but we will continue to tease you with hints... Remember Shellac shows on sale today

[TedLeoMD]

They should just hold off at this point. It's the weekend, people* won't be paying attention and then Monday or Tuesday we can be mostly surprised. Any idea how soon the early bird tickets sell out (if at all), suprefan?

Edit: *people who are not music nerds attached to the Internet

[ZachTheEskimo]

I don't think Explosions will play either, and I'm not sure why everyone is talking about them.

To be definitive, it'd be rad if The Weeknd OR Weekend played. They both rule. But my comment come from the idea that while The Weeknd playing is relatively improbable, the Toronto zip code hint gave me hope. So really, Weekend has nothing to do with this at all.

[TedLeoMD]

The Explosions In the Sky speculation only comes from the fact that they have two CA dates (one in San Diego and one in Big Sur) with the FYF Fest sandwiched right between the two.

[suprefan]

I don't think Explosions will play either, and I'm not sure why everyone is talking about them.

See above.....

Edit: if you need more proof to rethink your thought process. So answer the question, if a band announced an entire fall tour, why have a gap of 3 days at a certain point?

09/01 - Tucson, AZ @ Rialto Theatre
09/02 – San Diego, CA @ SOMA
09/05 – Big Sur, CA @ Henry Miller Library

You mean the cheaper price tickets, if they have any? 2 years ago they had em for $8, and that lasted no time at all. I dont even think they had them at a lower price last year.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

obviously that is 100% definitive proof

[menikmati]

EITS playing might make me come back to this.

[ZachTheEskimo]

Oh, I didn't even realize EITS had tour dates so close to the fest. Well then, I see that happening.

Last year early bird tickets were 20 dollars as opposed to 25 and they sold out in I think maybe a week or two.

Lesson of the day ''do your homework''.
