FYF Fest 2012

[rambleonfreddy]

Polaris????

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i don't think that has to do with the fest. It mentions Cinefamily on the flyer. Probably something at the movie theater.

[nosurprises12]

Iggy Pop had a part on Pete and Pete - just sayin'

[rambleonfreddy]

He did just do that new song with Bethany from Best Coast too...

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Yes, both are awesome, and Baroness' John Dyer Baizley does the album artwork for both too!

EDIT: I don't know what happened, but I wrote this as a response to Sunni's recs for Black Tusk and Kylessa, and was in fact written after her post.

[sbconnection]

Just grabbed their album, sounds like one of the best things on the line-up haha. So I've never listened to Baroness, but holy shit they are good. My kind of metal music.

If you like Baroness, try listening to Black Tusk and Kylesa. I know they aren't playing FYF but they are some kick ass bands from Savannah GA as well. Baroness are a cannot miss for me. I'll see you there

[hawkingvsreeve]

Also Red Fang and Torche.

[bmack86]

And Harvey Milk.

[bmack86]

Oh, and guess what? FYF just posted "Trying to tell you something..." accompanied by this video:

I would miss almost any set to see David Cross.

[sonnyboy11]

This is great news!

[bmack86]

He was hilariously bitter and acerbic when I saw him at ATP. And also incredibly drunk.

Nicolas Jaar add???

[ods..]

please

[Lemonpie]

Jaar and Cross?? FYF is really shaping out to be a great festival if this is true

[kreutz2112]

Wow.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Ah good, they almost never have comedians I want to see, and Fun Fun Fun booking him I was getting ready to talk shit

Nicolas Jaar add???

Been checking him out this morning. Wow! Good, minimalist beats. Perfect for the rainy morning here in DT LA. Hope he's gonna be there.

[Gribbz]

What do you guys think? Jaar and Cross as good as booked?

[nosurprises12]

I'd say it's a very real possibility; great additions if they prove to be true.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

What do you guys think? Jaar and Cross as good as booked?

Not sure about jaar, but they do always have a comedy tent and reveal the line up later.

THAT SAID, Sean also just likes to post shit he likes on twitter and facebook, so you can't always take what he's posting as any real kind of information until an official announcement.

You're right, but the fact that he specifically said "This is going to be amazing at FYF Fest" makes me think otherwise (unless he just thinks one of the DJs will play it at some point over the weekend!).

[Ross1492]

Jaar would be a sweet add. So excited for this festival.

[Gribbz]

The line-up is already so good. Adding Cross and Jaar would be ridiculous. Hope it happens!

Ross, have you checked out the Suicide of Western Culture? I think you might dig. They might be my favorite line-up discovery (alongside Nick Waterhouse).

[dorkfish]

i don't think that has to do with the fest. It mentions Cinefamily on the flyer. Probably something at the movie theater.

They're doing one of those Pete & Pete live shows Q&A things.

[Ross1492]

I did check em out. On the must-see list. Have a feeling conflicts are going to make a mockery thereof, haha.

[Gribbz]

Srsly guys, baby making music:

[sbconnection]

I am also so excited to see Against Me! Firstly, FL pride. Secondly, I need to see a punk band fronted by a trans in the process of changing genders. Can't wait to hear what has become of Tom's voice at this point. It was already so notorious for being strained and out of tune. It doesn't get more hardcore than this.


edit: Laura Jane Grace not Tom, excuse me.

[bmack86]

She's said that, as of right now, she doesn't plan on doing the surgery to reduce her Adam's apple, which would probably cause the most drastic change. From the videos I've watched, she sounds pretty much the same.

[sbconnection]

This will also work for me I haven't seen AM! since 2007 when they were touring for New Wave... which had a couple good songs. Really disliked White Crosses. I am hopeful that they will play older songs. When I saw them in FL it was like a 5,000 person sing-a-long through about half the set. It was great!
