Fun x 3 Fest Picks: The Quick List of The Rest
Nope, the band isn’t called the quick list of the rest.
It’s a bit last minute, but here is a quick rundown of the bands that we are going to be checking out this weekend, and suggest that you might do the same.
Saturday 11.8
…And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead @ 4:50 on Stage 1:
The Austin band shed is former label and is on the brink of releasing it’s first full length on their own label. The band made a splash in the music scene with it’s first couple of releases, but seems to be struggling to find that ground once again. Once known for out of control shows, with the destruction of instruments to be a nightly practice, this is the time to see why lies at the end of the Trail of Dead. More dead maybe?
MP3> …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead ‘Will You Smile Again?’
Magnetic Morning @ 6:45 on Stage 2:
What do you get when you take Adam Franklin from the great, late Swervedriver and pair him up with Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino? I sure as hell don’t know right now, but I’m going to find out on Saturday.
MP3> Magnetic Morning ‘At A Crossroads, Passive’
Dan Deacon @ 7:00 on Stage 4:
Electronic freakout with Deacon, the master of blips, beeps, and warbeling is sure to have you caught up in the atmosphere of his music party. Only if you want to have a little lighthearted fun.
MP3> Dan Deacon ‘Wham City‘
Sunday 11.9
Ume @ 12:25 on Stage 1:
Originally from Houston, and now calling Austin home, Ume unleashes it’s melodic sonic dissonance early on Sunday, fleshing out new songs that will see release in EP form.
MP3> Ume ‘The Conductor’
St Vincent @ 6:30 on Stage 1:
Annie Clark aka “St. Vincent” took home the Female Artist of The Year @ the 2007 Plug Awards, for a reason. The former member of Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens touring band, steps to the front and delivers witty lyrical stories layered in left-field arrangements constructed with a myriad of instruments. She’ so damn cute as well!
