Newdust and co. had the pleasure of going to Austin, Texas this past weekend for Fun Fun Fun Fest.  The festival lived up to it’s namesake.  Some highlights were; “chillin” with Devin the Dude, watching Ariel Pink bring the rock (while wearing a dress), jamming to Toro y Moi who has now gone completely Innervisions on us, getting swooned by both Best Coast and Cults, and the laser-smoke-dance-tacular that was Delorean.  Some great new discoveries were Peelander-Z (atomic punk rock for all ages) and Deakin (Animal Collective) who at times seemed meandering but mostly delivered ambient jams remeniscent of an impending desert thunderstorm.  If you get a chance to go next year, please do, you won’t regret it.

We will have a few more posts reviewing artists at FFF Fest.  Stay tuned…
