Representing Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, FYM showcases original artwork, thoughtful well-written feature stories about our favorites in art, music, and culture on the West Coast.
The lineup for the 2010 FYF Fest has been unveiled/leaked:
This festival takes place at Los Angeles’ State Historic Park near downtown, which was going to be the site of the recently canceled HARD Festival (headlined by M.I.A. and N*E*R*D). Los Angeles authorities nixed that particular event supposedly due to the one death and 100+ injuries sustained during last month’s Electric Daisy Carnival.
Cancelations or not, FYF 2010 boasts the best lineup for any Californian music festival this summer. Just going through the lineup: The Rapture, Panda Bear, !!!, Delorean, Best Coast, Wavves, Dead Man’s Bones, Ted Leo, The Blow, Cults, Man Man, Abe Vigoda, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Washed Out, and Warpaint are absolute can’t-miss bands. You won’t spend a better $25 this summer.
Nice to see FYF book some artists that have seemed to be absent for a while, including The Rapture, Sleep, Man Man, and The Blow.
Keep your eyes peeled on For Young Moderns for some posts dedicated to several of these FYF artists. For starters, here’s a video (recorded by For Young Moderns) of energetic Spaniards Delorean performing “Seasun” (from the excellent Subiza) at the Echoplex in Los Angeles back in April:

An “oldie” (three albums ago is ’21st century old’, I guess) but goodie from Ted Leo + the Pharmacists is FYM’s Jam of the Day. The track is “The Toro and the Toreador” from the Pharmacists’ 2007 album Living With the Living and, clocking in at over six minutes long, it is about as epic as Ted Leo tracks get. With its quiet, extended intro laced with tremolo-infused guitar and its athematic backing vocal ‘oohs and ahhs’ sung over some dramatic chord progressions, think of it as something of an 80’s monster ballad on a budget. But ten times as good.
Ted Leo + the Pharmacists will be one of the many greats playing the FYF Fest on Saturday September 4th in Los Angeles.
