Fuck Yeah Fest 2008: An (Selected) Overview

Mika Miko: Better at the Smell.

Japanther: Cute, would probably sound better at the Smell.

Fucked Up: Fuck this band and everything they do. The lead singer got naked, I got punched in the face.

High Places: Looked cool, sounded awful. Setting levels correctly before performing is best for optimizing audience interest. Apparently, their recordings are good.

Glass Candy:











Best show I've seen all summer. It was worth getting punched in the face to see this. A fan gave Ida a book titled "Man, Creature, and Myth" which she opened up and started singing the text with Mr. Jewel synthing it up. Talked to the band post performance and they were super nice, informed me about their record label (Italians Do It Better), the status of their vinyl (will be ready in a month, but will come with a free 7"), their recent tour with the Chromatics, and general chatting. If you have the ability, go see them.

Matt and Kim: Too chatty. Matt is officially an asshole for his terrible stage antics. Kim only smiles. The music is unoriginal, boring, and to put it bluntly, shitty.

No Age: Sounds better at the Smell. Of course, they don't really sound that good in the first place. The hype for No Age is misplaced. They sound like every other Smell band plus some post punk. BORING.

Fuck Yeah Fest (2008) was fun, I will admit. Hopefully next year the lineup will be less Smelly, or at least a better Smell.

We will see.
