Fun Fun Fun Fest made its 1st appearance on a cold friday evening in 2006. What started out as a show for a few touring acts, became a festival that fans and bands alike thought needed to be annual. So here we go again!
The theory behind Fun Fun Fun was to make a festival full of nothing but cool music. A fest WE in the scene would want to go to, without all the filler. A collection of all the different style of progressive and underground music: indie rock, punk, hip hop, dj, etc. Spread across a park on multiple stages that would allow fans to go from one area to another to see and appreciate different styles of music and have a good time.

This Austin quintet remains committed despite label and personnel shake-ups, unveiling a retooled rock sound with its post-hiatus EP, Keep It Light, released by local label Cult Hero Records. Cully Symington now sits at the drum kit, and Alex Lyon has taken over lead guitar, while Mike Booher and Catherine Davis do the dark-light dance on vox. – Melanie Haupt

Edmonton, Alberta's 21-year-old MC Rollie Pemberton is "In Search of the Youth Crew" on his sophomore LP, Afterparty Babies (Epitaph), dedicated to anyone conceived after hours. And just like his 2006 electronic debut, Breaking Kayfabe, Cadence Weapon spits old-school and pointed on Babies, dishing on know-it-alls and independence, this time on top of DJ Weez-L's booty-shaking beats. – Darcie Stevens

Posted 8 months ago.Blogged-about indie-rockers, legendary punks, and mobile dance parties: This year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest has it all, including a headlining reunion show from the late, lamented Murder City Devils that should have the whole music world’s eyes on Waterloo Park this weekend. But it’s not just nostalgia acts (although there are plenty of veterans like Angry Samoans, The Saints, and Lifetime whose LPs make up the backbone of many a punk’s record collection): This year’s Fest boasts a who’s who of the here and now, including buzzworthy names like The New Pornographers, Against Me!, Okkervil River, Girl Talk, Battles, Ted Leo, Of Montreal, and Explosions In The Sky. While you’re out basking in the crisp autumn weather (reason enough alone to make Fx4 the year’s most enjoyable outdoor festival) take a moment to thank the rock gods that you live in Austin. They like to feel appreciated.
