Fun Fun Fun Fest starts today, and not like tonight, it kicked off around noon. You're already late! Some of us are disappointed that the festival was forced to move away from its stomping grounds at Waterloo Park, and now set up at the large landscape of Auditorium Shores. No matter how dusty or crowded it gets, there are so many great bands performing that will keep you bobbin' your happy little head. Here are the top 5 acts that I am most stoked about seeing. [...]
Thanks to some poor planning and creative scheduling, I am pained to admit that I missed 95% of day one of Fun Fun Fun Festival 6. A few things worth mentioning, though: Austin can get chilly at night. Not Austin, MN chilly, but chilly all the same. According to our pedicab driver, Austin is suffering its worst drought in nearly 50 years. Combine that with a naturally dry climate and an outdoor venue, and, you do the math Don't want to do the math? Fine. It's dusty out there kiddies. Like Gramps [...]
We realize that not everyone has the good fortune of living in the great state of Texas, but between SXSW, Chaos in Tejas, Rites of Darkness and Austin's anti-ACL, Fun Fun Fun Fest, we feel the Lone Star State has got the lock on kickass music festivals and and you're really missing out if you haven't made the trek down for at least one of them.If you're fortunate enough to make it to Austin this

Though unfairly saddled with playing Cindy to SXSW's Marcia and ACL's Jan, Fun Fun Fun Fest offers more music, comedy and garden-variety debauchery over a three-day period than you can shake a stick at. 2011 represents the 6th installment of this upstart festival, and if the schedule is to be believed, FFFF6 is shaping up to be one for the annals. 3-Day Passes and single day tickets are still available for a mere pittance, but if you can't make it, fear not. MOKB is sending an envoy to cover every last note, [...]
I'd party to this playlist. And it'd be the hippest party around. Part 1 below, parts 2-4 to follow sometime, maybe today. Or tomorrow maybe. Probably. Definitely by Sunday... evening. Marvin Gaye: Medley (You/Grapevine/Your Precious Love) (5/11/1972 Live In Washington D.C.) Phish: Tube (1997/10/29 Live At Madison Square Garden) Celtic C ross: Hicksville ( Hicksville ) [...]

photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Public Enemy STEREOGUM : What appealed to you about getting involved with All Tomorrow's Parties ? GEOFF BARROW: I just like that, for the most part, you wouldn't want to be there if you aren't actually into the music. It's not like Coachella where there are loads of girls walking around in bikinis and stuff like that. It's basically people enjoying what is often some [...]
The air was foul with the smell of stale beer and cigarettes in a few dark corners of the Berkeley hotel as dedicated rock fans peeled themselves off their floors and mattresses and headed, zombie-like, toward Asbury Lanes to guarantee a spot inside for Shellac's impromptu matinee performance. The set kicked off with Albini playing the vaguely "Paint It Black" guitar lines of "Paco", as Trainer slowly raised a drumstick over his head, increasing the tension level until he swiftly brought it to a crashing halt on the snare, Weston and [...]

festival in Asbury Park, New ...
Hey, who said festival season was over? A certain All Tomorrow's Parties event, the inaugural U.S. I'll Be Your Mirror , just took Asbury Park, New Jersey by storm (sort of literally, but that's okay because it was inside!) and it surely qualifies as a festival. That's right, while every other festival is in its 10th year and booking the same 250 acts as the festival preceding it, ATP just swoops in with an unglamorous but effective idea and declares itself a contender for U.S. festival of the year! At least as far as the [...]
Si bien las colaboraciones en los festivales son muy comunes, la fusión entre Portishead y Public Enemy no deja de ser un hecho sorprendente. Ambas bandas actuaron en continuado en la noche de clausura del ATP Ashbury Park , y durante un pequeño instante el trip hop y el hip hop formaron una interesante sociedad. Durante la performance de Machine Gun de Portishead subió al escenario el rapero Chuck D [...]
A principios de julio os contábamos una muy buena noticia de unos de nuestros grupos favoritos, Portishead . Tras varios años desde el lanzamiento del aclamado Third , un trabajo que hacía las veces de su tercer disco, los británicos anunciaban que tras firmar un nuevo contrato discográfico ya se encontraban reuniendo ideas para el que será su nuevo disco. Estos genios del trip-hop aún no han anunciado ni el título ni como será el trabajo, aunque si lo que no harán . Será un trabajo que carecerá de bonus tracks [...]
* Sunday began with the Browns game at Asbury Park's Wonder Bar with a group of a dozen or so Clevelanders. We won't talk about the Browns. Nor, will we talk about the dirty looks I got once I figured out it was more fun to root for whoever was playing the Steelers on the tv across the bar. Yins Steeler fans didn't appreciate that too much. Sunday NFL football was followed by fifteen minutes of Deerhoof in the Convention Hall. And, I really don't want to talk about Deerhoof, either. Their style of ADD post-punk is not for me [...]
Cougar scribe Olivia was already heading to the Isle Of Wight when we asked if she could write a short account for us. Here is what she liked: If there was one festival I was looking forward to this summer it definitely had to be Bestival. The Isle of Wight based festivity boasted an incredible lineup [...]
Filed under: News Jason Persse for AOL This year's All Tomorrow's Parties was subtitled 'I'll Be Your Mirror,' and on Sunday (Oct. 2), as the three-day festival came to a close, two of the marquee performers seemed like fun-house reflections of each other. One is shy and sensitive, the other brash and unapologetic. One writes aching, abstract songs, the other political tirades. One keeps out of the public eye. The other fronts Public Enemy . [...]
The original idea behind Public Enemy's set in the Asbury Park convention hall was that they'd play their landmark 1990 album Fear Of A Black Planet in full, for the first time ever. Well, they did that. But because of Mogwai's last-minute cancellation of their entire North American tour, P.E. ended up having to do a whole lot more. With their set stretched from one hour to two, the noise-rap originators ended up doing Black Planet and a greatest-hits set, shuffling the two together into a continuous barrage of drums and bellows and siren-sounds.
