[Fun Fun Fun Fest '09] What do you mean it's not the Monday after? Of the three major music festivals that grace this city each year, Fun Fun Fun Fest is certainly the locals' secret. Granted, it's a horribly kept secret, but there's an aspect to Fun Fun Fun that makes it seem so much more manageable. Watching Fun Fun Fun Fest grow and progress each year definitely lets you see just how much this city thrives on music. From it's humble beginnings as a $20 or so [...]

Their name might conjure up images of sitting at a traffic light with extremely decibel-challenged individual in the car next to you, but the music of Melbourne, Australia's Car Stereo Wars is actually serene in comparison. Beginning musical life as a trio back in 2000, their first EP was titled Project A and included a very dreamy track called Broken which earned them considerable attention. Since then, they've continued to refine an impressive blend of orchestra and electronic into their debut full-length release, For Your Comfort and Safety. This is your chilled-out release of the year, atmospheric and though-provoking if [...]

When you name put as many funs in your name as Fun Fun Fun Fest does, it better be good. Fortunately, the Austin based music festival usually does a good job living up to its name. After all, the 2009 edition, scheduled to take place from November 7-8, certainly exemplifies this fact, as organizers have once again put together one amazingly solid, incredibly electric lineup that can't help but, well, result in some fun. The Jesus Lizard, Of Montreal, Mission of Burma, Ratatat, The Pharcyde, and Destroyer head the recently unveiled 2009 bill. Other acts of [...]

after a fun night out in wicker park and sleeping in a nice and air conditioned apartment, i was a little weary about getting to the festival at 1230 pm, knowing i would be in the hot sun for 8 or 9 hours that day, but thanks to nick dropping me off downtown, i was able to get there and be in place 3 or 4 people from the stage at about 1215 to meet up with karen, louis and nikki. even those first 15 minutes were completely unbearable but we sort of forgot about it once friendly fires [...]

New Bands Jack White of White Stripes and Raconteurs has a new band called The Dead Weather, basically another indie rock super group, featuring Queen of the Dean Fertita of Stone Ages, Alison Mosshart of The Kill's on vocals, and Jack Lawrence of The Raconteur's... and Jack White. I am praying they'll sign on for Lollapalooza this summer. The Raconteurs have played the last couple of Lolla's and I have heard rumors that they could be added to the lineup. They have a big gap around their scheduled show dates too that coincide with Lollapalooza. Hmmm. [...]
