F3F: Keep Shelly in Athens

By | November 5, 2011
Keeping with the Orange Stage's mid-tempo morning, Keep Shelly in Athens was another early performer on Saturday at Fun Fun Fun Fest. Considering the indie-rock context, you might think "Athens" refers to the Georgia town that gave the world R.E.M.… Read more »

F3F: Maneja Beto

By | November 5, 2011
It's gotta be tough to program the early shows at festivals, and it's gotta be equally tough to play those spots. The music started around Noon on Saturday, Day 2 of Fun Fun Fun Fest, but the crowd was sparse. That's to be expected, of course; it's… Read more »

F3F: Wugazi

By | November 5, 2011
While I'm usually confused by those who want to go see DJs... Andy Swiss and Doomtree's Cecil Otter did a great job if the live performance if 13 Chambers, their disc that mixes Wu Tang Clan and Fugazi. It was funny to hear how many references they… Read more »

F3F: Public Enemy

By | November 5, 2011
resh off... uh... Flava of Love? (Is that even right??) back from the ashes... Public Enemy. Well. I will say that the soundcheck song was one of the highlights of the festival. I'm not going to bash Public Enemy. They are one of the greatest hip hop… Read more »

F3F: Passion Pit

By | November 4, 2011
The entire Passion Pit set was full of energy with each band member singing and dancing along as Michael Angelakos (lead vocals) sang in his high pitch voice that some women cant even match. Although the each band member contributed to the positive… Read more »

F3F: Reggie Watts

By | November 4, 2011
A true theatrical performance, Reggie Watts physically created his own music, instrumentals and all. His one man band played a mind trick on the crowd, as took everyone on a mix-mastering roller coaster breaking up his set with mini-comedic acts.… Read more »

F3F: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

By | November 4, 2011
It's not that Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah are a bad band. Quite the contrary. Their mix of chillwave-y indie pop, mixed with a healthy dose of early The Cure, is nice and pleasant in the right context. It's just that being the second-to-last band on… Read more »

F3F: Big Freedia

By | November 4, 2011
Oh Big Freedia... If you've never been to a Big Freedia show, you've truly never been musically assaulted by a huge, black transvestite with a ridiculous ability to shake her ass higher and harder than any member of the In Living Colour… Read more »

F3F: Black Joe Lewis

By | November 4, 2011
Black Joe Lewis rocks. Not a surprise to any of us, but his Fun Fun Fun Fest performance just served to further the belief that he. is. epic. Unfortunately, that epicness was tempered a bit by a surprise celebrity appearance - one Ryan Gosling (of… Read more »

F3F: The Thermals

By | November 4, 2011
The Thermals bring their pop sentiments to a punk style, but not in the god awful Fall Out Boy sense of the genre. The Thermals are actually quite, quite good. They also brought us the best band banter of the day thus far: "Who's smoking a cigar?"… Read more »

F3F: Yacht

By | November 4, 2011
Yacht... And it's time for the kids to start dancing.... Sometimes a elcetronica hipster jam band works beautifully, and sometimes... it's alright. They're great at what they do, but the repetition in a non creative sense was a little much to get… Read more »

F3F: Heartless Bastards

By | November 4, 2011
Heartless Bastards kicked off the show with much more of a honyk tonk vibe than they usually throw down. The typical Heartless Bastards droning brooding power rock didn't come until well into the set. This was easily the biggest crowd of the day thus… Read more »
