Deerhunter will be there too!
This year Keith and Sean outdo themselves big time with the 4th Annual Fuck Yeah! Fest, and the banging roster they've built. It's a two day show ($13/day or $24 for both days) that spreads itself over five age friendly venues in Echo Park. There's gonna be art, comedians, and over 50 bands. and i mean they'll have a little of everything from grat bands such as Whispertown 2000 to great rappers like Busdriver.
The two madmen behind the scenes making it all happen are young Sean Carlson, who founded this thing when he was 18, and legendary Keith Morris who you might better remember as the singer for the Circle Jerks. And it's really like they're curators more than show promoters, because this is more than a big rock show. This is an art, comedy, music, extravaganza with $3 Dewars drinks. Highlights will include the only Fuse! reunion you will see anytime soon, Brother Reade, and finding out about a buncha stuff i never heard before.
Full line up for both days after the jump.

You should thank me for being the one person who cares to comment after your poorly re-hashed press release re-write.
It's "Keith," not "Kieth," and I am sure Keiths world-wide prefer the latter spelling. And there was also Black Flag for which the Keith in question sang, a band that came from where your cushy little dumb ass came. (You might recall me having to tell your pot-addled fat head that the last decent thing out of your "'hood" was over 20 years ago, and that was Black Flag.)
dear randall name dropper fuckwad,
without you HOW HOW HOW would we ever find out about 20 year old music and devolutionary fashion spelling.
and of course i know its YOU. because your only comeback is that weaksauce southbay diss.
GOD can you get anymore BORING.

Randall Tin-Ear,
You're an anonymous coward, and not fooling anyone. shouldn't you be working feverishly to promote those zines that nobody ever heard of?
and my pot-addled fat head spelled Keith right, you're a moron.
Get over the 70's, its a whole new world out there.
PLEASE re-read randall
i have NOT editted this post
Fat head? That's cold, son. I haven't heard an insult as keen since my sister called me a poop head when I was six.
Bob Odenkirk is hee-larious, BTW. Take the time to peep the Mr. Show alumn if you're able.
These comments are totally idiotic.
I like reading the comments section when somebody says something halfway interesting or funny, but this reads like jr. high bathroom graffiti. Is this funny? Informative? Smart? Does it even MAKE SENSE to anybody else?
LAist is better than this, guys.
Actually, "ben bang" was pretty funny.
The Fuse! Holy shit. They're rad. Notorious for brawling with the audience. Hardcore shit.
