[Our first installment of coverage from FYF Fest … more to come:] As the half moon set over the downtown Los Angeles skyline on a crisp Saturday night and Austin’s Explosions in the Sky launched into their rapturous set, I thought to myself, “FYF is dead! FYF is dead! Long live FYF!” Sean Carlson’s DIY […]

A festival and other festivities: ‣ Hard to believe there’s a better bargain than this year’s FYF Fest (especially if you bought your tickets at the screamin’-cheap presale rate). If the involvement this year of über-promoter Goldenvoice eliminates or even alleviates the embarrassing logistical problems of the past two years, FYF 2011 could be a […]

I think this note from Explosions in the Sky says it all, so I will just cut, paste and edit a bit: “In the 12 years that we have been playing together in this band, we have never made or released a video for any of our songs. Over the years many fans (perhaps yourself […]

When worlds collide? The FYF Fest and the Sunset Strip Music Festival each will announce their lineups on Wednesday, and the rumor mill is churning with names. Let’s put our ears to the ground: ‣ Even without having announced a lineup, FYF had a $30 presale on Tuesday and sold out of that allotment. Regular […]

If you’ve ever seen them at a festival, you know there’s no more aptly named rock band than Explosions in the Sky. The Texas quartet turns instrumental rock into something behemoth and epic, and just in time for a special southern California date – the just-announced show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery (tickets on sale Friday) […]

[Anybody else have a Michael Jackson hangover? Here’s an excellent obituary.] Today: The Vans Warped Tour [2008’s crowd, above] kicks off in Pomona. The past two years I live-blogged it and succeeded each time in finding something I liked. I’m passing on it this year, but it’s a pretty good bargain at under $35 a […]
