Austin Psych Fest 6 = 4/26 - 4/28

[TallGuyCM]

How high do you have to be to think it would be a good idea/necessity to bring drugs to a psychedelic music festival? That's literally what that whole bringing sand to the beach term is describing.

[TallGuyCM]

This looks pretty tight:

[Gribbz]

There will be camping apparently.

[Sushov23]

Where are you hearing this? With camping now an option, I'd seriously consider this festival.

[Gribbz]

Someone asked them via instagram.

[Devin the Dude]

Yeah, I'm not worried about finding goodies.

Texas weed?

[Gribbz]

I was talking more about acid, but I'll buy weed from you if you drive it out.

[stinkbutt]

That LA fest looks cool, I would like to see Master Musicians of Bukkake. Austin is kind of a hipster city so I would imagine you can find some stuff around

[Gribbz]

Hopefully there's some notable non-psych fest bands playing that week. I'm assuming there will be...

[getbetter]

Im sure those non psych rock bands you are talking about are at the festival, gribbz.

[HotHamWater]

Fuck you, Zack.

It's true. Why, when waiting in line for a beer and a fried chicken and bacon sandwich (at least that's what I remember it being, it might have just been a bottle of water and a hot pocket), my friend and I were approached by KC and Joe King who offered us a share of their stash of Webster (apparently from CA but I've never heard of it) and we shared our flasks of Four Roses.

Moral of the story? There will be plenty there to enjoy. Bring what you can for sharing, but don't push it.

I would love to see Exit Calm added to the lineup...

I was listening to that first ep from Vietnam this morning, man I'm looking forward to seeing this live. I had thought they broke up a long while ago

Shitty video, but the best I could find

[Gribbz]

^ Nice. Also, new Black Angels album out on April 2nd. Cant wait!

[getbetter]

Fuck you, Zack.

Eheheh...I was wondering the other day of School of Seven Bells was on the line-up.

IM ONLY HATE'N CAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD IT.

[Gribbz]

New single:

[stinkbutt]

Nice, I dig it

[Gribbz]

Me too. Hopefully they'll have some slower, less abrasive tracks like "Melanie's Melody" on the new record though.

[Gribbz]

20 more bands will be added according to their facebook...

[stinkbutt]

18 bands a day, not too bad. If they only have 2 stages we should be able to catch a little bit of everything if we want

[Gribbz]

Fuck yeah. I wonder how big the camping area will be...

[Gribbz]

No Ty Segall. Oh well.

[stinkbutt]

Ah, too bad. I'm still curious to see who the headliners are they will be announcing

[Gribbz]

Spiritualized's short US tour around the same time is giving me hope...

[Fourthisto]

Additions should be announced today... and then there's THIS:

[stinkbutt]

No alcohol in the camping? I thought Coachella was the only festival to be that dickish

[Gribbz]

I chuckled when I saw the "family camping" option.

Also:

We’ll be announcing the day schedules (which bands are playing which stage and when) on February 26th, along with a few more surprises!)

In addition to its musical offerings, Austin Psych Fest will also feature an array of other activities. The fest not only supports local businesses with its food, retail, clothing, and record store vendors, but it also promotes the arts community by supporting local artists via multi-media installations and art exhibits. If you’d like to get involved as a vendor or artist, CONTACT US.

Did they have multi-media/art installations in previous years?

PRE PARTY – THURSDAY, APRIL 25th

Two bands playing as part of the April 25th official pre-party have been revealed–A Place to Bury Strangers, making their 3rd Austin Psych Fest appearance, and fellow noise lovers Metz will be kicking off the weekend at The Mohawk. This show is free for weekend pass holders, but there are also a limited number of show tickets available online now.

Free Metz/APTBS show. Awesome!

[stinkbutt]

Holy fuck I love these adds!! Silver Apples, Om, Roky, Os Mutantes, and Moving Sidewalks!! So happy about this. I don't know the other bands, but have heard good things about most of them. This surpassed my expectations. Ooh would really like to hit that pre-party too.
