This Weekend: FYF Fest
With the balmy days dwindling, so are your chances to bare flesh publicly while bands play outdoors. For those not burnt out by the recent plague of local festivals, including Sunset Junction, Sunset Strip Festival, or Outside lands, get to Fuck Yeah Fest this weekend for another chance to don your denim cutoffs.
Nestled downtown just beside Chinatown, LA State Historic Park plays host to a plethora of indie outfits on Saturday, including UK dance hybrid scenesters The Rapture as well as !!!, New York’s Panda Bear of Animal Collective, L.A.’s very own overnight phenomenon Local Natives, actor Ryan Gosling’s band Dead Man’s Bones, and a huge collection of local groovers.
Others include Sleep, Unbroken, Man Man, 7Seconds, Thee Oh Sees, The Mountain Goats, Ted Leo + Pharmacists, Delorean, Cold Cave, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Washed Out, Wavves, School of Seven Bells, AA Bondy, The Blow, Best Coast, Davila 666, Titus Andronicus, The Soft Pack, Abe Vigoda, Warpaint, Off!, Vetiver, Ceremony, Big Freedia, Screaming Females, Magic Kids, The Growlers, Lower Dens, Let’s Wrestle, Cults and more.
Now in its seventh year, FYF 2010 will offer three stages to host the 30+ acts booked for the day. To top this big bash off, FYF will offer vegan food, DIY silk-screening, a record swap meet, local comics and ultimately provide the perfect venue to wear vintage wayfarers, stripe or plaid shirts, and various accoutrements of the hipster uniform (not?)
