BLOC PARTY- Highly anticipating the follow up album to FOUR. I did not get a chance to purchase tickets to their Pre-FYF shows at the Glass House or at The Roxy. So, FYF is my last oppourtinity to see them live.
SAVAGES-Debut album was great and they’re definitely goping to play new tunes from their second album which is due out soon.
ALVVAYS- One of my favorite Canadian Pop-Rock bands apart from Tokyo Police Club. I missed they’re only show at The Echo last year, and like Bloc Party, it’ll be my first chance to see them at FYF.
THEE OH SEES- All I have to say about this band is that i hope the crowd at their stage is ready to use all their strength to pit during their set!
TITLE FIGHT- I just started listening to this great band, and it’ll be geat to see them perform live.
I wanna see Shlomo,Bloc Party, The Drums, Morrissey, Mac De Marco!! Please! I wanna take my daughter!
Hey Grimy Goods!
I would love to dance my ass off during FLUME at FYF this year! Hoping that Flume and Chet perform some stuff together. Their “drop the game” music video is dope!
Then there is Nicholas Jaar who never disappoints.
Out of artists I’ve never seen live, I would really like to catch Bloc Party and have always wanted to go to a Morrissey show, although he might not show up since I’m sure the venue will not be going vegetarian for him lol (I wonder if they would do it for McCartney…)
You guys are the best, keep up the good work!
Thanks,
Jess

Hop Along!
1. Girlpool – babes and can’t stop spinning ‘Before The World Was Big’
2. Mac DeMarco – want to touch his butt while he crowd surfs (also he makes the best crowd surf face)
3. MOZ – gotta see this diva someday
4. Neon Indian – because I wanna dance to Annie
5. Joyce Manor – i want a heart tattoo
YO HERE’S THE DEAL. YA GIRL JJ WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO GO TO FYF FEST!!! Grimy Goods ILYSM and you’re always my homies with the best recommendations for concerts each week (Dan Deacon at the Echoplex was life!). Narrowing this down to 5 was nearly impossible…
KAYTRANADA — his set at Coachella made me wish that he didn’t play at the same time as Drake because holy fuck if everyone saw him they would’ve lost their minds!!! So great!!
DEERHUNTER — just one of those groups that I haven’t yet explored thoroughly enough, and I’ve heard their live performances are just incredible
UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA — they have a unique style that isn’t being featured much at FYF, especially their newest album with heavier funk inclusion, so this was a no-brainer
FRANK OCEAN — DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN? Channel Orange is my most re-played album on Spotify. Pilot Jones gets me every time
CHET FAKER — a man so ridiculously talented that I don’t even consider him a man..he is post-man
PLEASE PICK ME!! Thank you so much for this awesome opportunity and rock on!! <3
