already starting...

so the f yeah fest starts tomorrow, I think we're ready. The amazing people from the band, Fucked Up, have been staying at the f yeah "headquarters" since they came down from Canada. I'm really looking forward to seeing them play.
Though today's gathering consisted of preparing sets and props for the fest and for the No Age set, it seemed that something bad was bound to happen. it did.
So the guys from The Strange Boys had just arrived after driving from Austin, Texas. They stopped at a house on sunset and vermont to gather some things. All the guys went inside the house except for Ryan (their singer). He ends up getting mugged at gunpoint, which resulted in them getting their keys, cellphones, and money stolen from them. Everyone is alright, but it sucks that this happened to them. I think they'll be staying at headquarters too, which would probably be safer. If anyone goes to the fest, go see them and make them smile. They are a really really good band. harmonica! It's going to be an insane day. I need sleep.

Above is a link to a story that the LA WEEKLY has run on the incident that occurred at the Hollywood Bowl at 10:30pm on Monday, August 25th.

Oct. 11

Denali is playing at the Echoplex in Echo Park on Oct. 11.
Foreign Born is most likely to open for them. It's finally happening. Details coming in the future.

Edit: okay, didn't think they would start promoting it right away. Info is on their site now. It's their only west coast show.

word on the street says

word on the street says that No Age is making a limited edition 10" specifically for the F Yeah Fest.

No Age/Mika Miko/Abe Vigoda @ the Smell from Anthem Magazine on Vimeo.
this was a pretty fun show. I just recently found this video from the 2nd annual pancake breakfast show at the smell, which took place in early June. I had gone to this with luis, bobby, and theo and thought we would never make it. I had missed the first one they had last year, so I had to at least make this one. Luis can be seen quite a bit in the video, which he's probably unaware of... I remember at one point bobby was talking with dean in the alley about their show at the Chain Reaction the day before (which can be seen here/and yes, all the people who you can see is just about everyone that was in attendance.), and then Dean responding with: "the venue is anaheim? that place is like chuck e. cheese." (if you've been to the chain you would understand). But yea, it's absolutely refreshing and great to see such a positive community coming from the streets of LA. It seems to be spreading. the rest of that day was pretty hectic too, which consisted of being attacked by pigeons (rats with wings), extreme heat, trying to find tim who was lost at the coliseum, getting lost at the coliseum, trying to find time to study for finals, stray cats in echo park, bad jokes....
So no age, abe vigoda, and mika miko will all be playing the F Yeah Fest on August 30th. If you missed them at the smell, then this would be a great opportunity to see them. it's late, the olympics are on, I'm still recovering from sun poisoning...good night. Go here: http://www.fyeahfest.com

so at the end of this month, the 5th F Yeah Fest will commence. as you may, or may not have heard, the fest kind of took a huge hit financially. bands that many people thought were supposed to be playing the fest had to be turned down because of the hit. Among those bands were converge, murder city devils, denali, and dillinger four. Instead of canceling the entire fest (which was supposed to be held at a state park), a decision was made to continue on with it in Echo Park and to convert it into a one day event with additional activities occurring around Los Angeles the same weekend. You can check out all the info at http://www.fyeahfest.com.
Also, a huge show is being held at the 6th Street Warehouse in downtown Los Angeles (off of Alameda). It is going to be a benefit show for the F Yeah Fest. All donations will be used by the Fest to pay off some debt and to make sure that the Fest will be around for the future. The show is on Tuesday (August 12), it will be epic. See you there. Here's the flyer:
