Year: 2014

I arrived at the festival a little after noon to find yet again, fantastic weather and masses of people ready for the start of the next musical/comical/BMXing day. Saturday was spent mainly on the orange stage, which by one pm was already crowded with people, securing their spots at the front of the stage. San […]

Alright, so to put day two of FFF Fest into perspective, I have to talk about the Nites show I went to late on day one at Red 7.  I was planning on making it in time to see Fat White Family, Twin Peaks, and King Tuff, but ended up missing Fat White Family.  The […]

After an (unsuccessful) attempt to receive my FFF Fest wristband (the thing that gets you in to the festival) at will call on Thursday night, I was finally able to manage to my pass Friday morning at Auditorium Shores. After that, there was a wait. They let some media in earlier than the rest (including […]

After a three-hour cruise from Houston through the countryside of Texas, I arrived in Austin to find the city a midst wonderful festival weather, and most importantly to find Riverside completely overtaken over by cars, people, stages, and a plethora of good music. We arrived in the evening to lines of excited and energized workers, […]

Many a trial and tribulation tried to hold me back from getting to Austin. However, I was able to conquer said trials and at 4 PM finally hit the road, saying farewell to Houston for the weekend. Much to my distress nasty traffic was caught and I didn’t get to Auditorium Shores until 7:40. I […]

The Decemberists have had a prolific career, and have maintained visibility in their genre since their debut in 2003. A string of releases later, and the band has shared “Make You Better”, from their forthcoming LP, What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. This album will be their seventh studio album. It’s also their […]

Popular Danish art punks Iceage are playing Fun Fun Fun Fest! Iceage may be the most interesting punk band around today.  They’d hate that I’m calling them a punk band, because it’s very difficult to pin these guys down.  They take from so many different places: musically, lyrically, geographically, and infuse their personality into their […]

During this week 23 years ago, Nirvana released their 2nd album-Nevermind. The band consisted of: Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic. Cobain came up with the name for the album as “a metaphor for his attitude on life” and for its grammatical inaccuracy. Expectations were relatively low for the band but they surpassed these when […]

Everyone’s favorite Canadian power/indie pop supergroup, the New Pornographers, are playing at Fun Fun Fun Fest! The New Pornographers (whose primary songwriting core consists of band leader and power pop statesman AC Newman, successful alt-country songstress Neko Case, and Dan Bejar of Destroyer) are basically the quintessential favorite pop band of artsy-fartsy college students (Stephen […]

I can listen to Daryl Palumbo’s voice day in and day out. A raw, fine yet guttural voice that can go from melodic to screaming in a matter of seconds. It soothes my soul and has for many years now. The first song I fell in love with was Ape Dos Mil and that will […]

King Tuff is coming to Fun Fun Fun Fest! Kyle Thomas, aka King Tuff, will be gracing the festival goers with his presence on the second day of the festival, Saturday, November 8th, on the orange stage as support for Modest Mouse.  King Tuff is generally one of the most recognizable names in today’s garage […]
