Long lines and food shortages aside, it would be hard to call the FYF Fest anything but a success. Now in it's sixth year, an inspired lineup and a great cause made the "hipster Woodstock" the most successful F-Yeah yet. In-depth reviews are fothcoming, and make sure to check out more LAist coverage here.

The Dillinger Escape Plan was insane. Right up front during the entire set. I was snot-rocketing dirt the rest of the night... thanks, FYF Fest!
I had tickets, but sadly needed to leave town for a family emergency at the last minute. :-(
FYF Blew. I'm a huge No-Fi fan and I was so disappointed. I've seen them earlier this summer at the Hollywood Palladium to similar disappointment and was really hoping the festival atmosphere would be enough to really bring out their live act. FYF was no different. Best example: No Age ended their set with Eraser (their biggest single), which at face value sounds awesome but not when it was performed solo by drummer Dean Spunt playing over a recording of his bandmate who had just left the stage earlier. For a band that tries to play the whole post-punk, "We're from the Smell" bullsh*t they sure do a lot of complaining (most notably about the lack of vegan options while on tour in Japan). Don't get me wrong they produce good stuff, I'm just reeling from a strong dose of reality.
no dan deacon?? what a lil' ill bitch. he's the only reason i got tickets. no age and glass candy were bomb, though. and fuck the diet-jones-soda-can-busting people during no age's set.
young white kids rocking out...when will people get sick of this shit?!
