05.19.10|Photos: Caribou And Toro Y Moi At The Clubhouse|It isn't often that you get to see a tour with a legend in the electronic music scene backed up by one of the quickest rising stars in the same scene. However, that's just what Phoenicians got last night when Caribou and Toro Y Moi hit The Clubhouse. Both artists have released albums that are among the best of this year, and the idea to pair them together in a tour was a great one. Once again contributor Tyler Nevitt was on the scene to capture the show inside the sweatbox venue. Summer must be on it's way or something! If ...

05.19.10|Photos: The Album Leaf And Sea Wolf At MAC|I'm more than a little late posting these photos, and I can promise you it's not Tyler's fault! He actually got these to me right after the show, but my switch to working first shift and getting up at 6 in the morning has certainly ruined my posting schedule as of late. But now that I'm beginning to adjust to it, I'll be returning to giving you the constant updates you expect from FMF. As mentioned, these photos were taken by FMF contributor Tyler Nevitt at Mesa Arts Center, when The Album Leaf and Sea Wolf recently stopped by. The Ikeda ...

04.21.10|Photos: Beach House w/ Bachelorette and The Middle East|Monday night's show was one of my most anticipated shows of the year. I can say I was only more excited about seeing Phoenix play earlier in the year, but Beach House managed to blow away even that stellar performance. I did get incredibly sad when the show got moved from Rhythm Room to The Clubhouse. The venue is much less intimate and almost always has issues with sound. There's really no excuse for a venue of that size that does shows as often as they do to have such awful sound. I know lots of you would agree. My ...

11.17.09photos: fuck buttons at fun fun fun festOne of the hardest thing for an electronic act without vocals to do is try to keep the attention of a large festival crowd in the middle of the day. Fuck Buttons are the new masters of this, as was confirmed by their early afternoon set at Fun Fun Fun Fest. The duo's set was exceedingly noisy and abrasive, yet completely groove-worthy at the same time. People were jumping around and screaming in the pouring rain and couples were dancing and making out all over the park. These guys have such an original sound, you owe it to yourself to ...

11.16.09photos: vega at fun fun fun festVEGA is my favorite of Alan Palomo's projects. Though he's more well known at this point for the equally awesome Neon Indian. there's something this project that I can't get enough of. I've been dancing in my bedroom to the debut album Well Known Pleasures ever since I copped a download of it early this year. I was looking forward to his Saturday afternoon set months in advance to the show. Alan plays with a live band when performing live, and the band didn't disappoint the hometown crowd one bit. In fact they had people uncontrollably dancing and screaming all ...

11.13.09photos: yeasayer at fun fun fun festYeasayer's Saturday night set was one of the ones I looked forward to most going into weekend of Fun Fun Fun Fest. Luckily I wasn't let down in the least, as the band breezed through a set of tracks both new and old and had the audience screaming for more by the time they walked off the stage. They also had one of the largest crowds watching from the stage and photo pit, so it was difficult to grab many photos throughout the set. Being more honest, I might have walked to get a beer (or several) during the set ...

11.12.09photos: atlas sound at fun fun fun festYou're going to have to forgive me for how soft and hazy these photos are, this was right in the middle of the downpour of rain that was unleashed on Austin throughout Sunday's edition of Fun Fun Fun Fest. Bradford Cox apologized to his fans that his set had to go down in such weather, while later joking that he "liked to make people wet in different ways." And that's just the kind of set it was. The band seemed to be having as much fun as possible on stage and the fans were eating it up. The sound was ...

11.11.09photos: crystal antlers at fun fun fun festI unfortunately missed Crystal Antlers playing a free show at the Yucca Tap Room on the 4th as I had a plane to catch to Austin at 7am the next morning. The only reason I could bring myself to do it was knowing that I'd be catching the band's set at Fun Fun Fun Fest early on Saturday afternoon. They were the first band of the festival to really get the mainstage crowd worked up, and I was dancing around with a drink in my hand while taking these photos. If you haven't checked out this band, make sure to ...

11.11.09photos: coliseum at fun fun fun festI partied a little too much my first few nights in Austin, so by the time Fun Fun Fun Fest was starting off I was feeling pretty sluggish. I have only Coliseum (and the free Red Bull in the media tent) to thank for giving me a huge energy boost early Saturday afternoon and getting me through the rest of the day. The band was extremely heavy and explosive and packed their early afternoon set full of enough energy to propel a locomotive. I only managed to catch a few shots of their set as I was too busy thrashing ...

11.10.09photos: no age at fun fun fun festOne of the highlights of my trip to Austin for Fun Fun Fun Fest was No Age's early evening performance on the Orange stage. The band took the stage slightly after 5:10 and proceeded to rip through an assortment of songs spanning their ever-growing discography. It was one of the first sets of the festival where I really saw the pit open up and started to see people lose themselves in the music. I also heard quite a few people singing along and thrashing about to the exceedingly loud and brilliantly paced set. These are a few shots of the ...
