Kevin Morby brings early-afternoon feels to FYF Fest

“Is everyone hot? That’s good. Sometimes it’s good to be hot,” Kevin Morby said as he began his early FYF Fest set on Saturday. Morby and his band brought the folk rock jams to a crowd that was quite receptive. Morby’s got that sound that suggests he’d fit right in on a soundtrack to a […]

Run the Jewels make second FYF Fest set special—joined by Zack de la Rocha, Travis Barker and Gangsta Boo

Per usual, FYF Fest had a lot of returning acts to the fold in 2015, and to some people it was a turnoff to see so many of the same names as in previous years. But if rising hip-hop juggernauts Run the Jewels proved something, it’s that maybe Goldenvoice got something right: why not bring people […]

Dinosaur Jr. blends guitar shredding, beautiful melodies in memorable FYF Fest set

I had been hoping to see noise rockers Dinosaur Jr. for quite some time. Saturday’s performance at FYF Fest had me kicking myself for not crossing it off the list sooner, as the wizard-looking J Mascis led the charge in a high-energy set. Mascis’ vocals are hard to pinpoint. They’re somewhere in between a grittier Jeff […]

Alaina Moore of Tennis FYF Fest is the preeminent LOS ANGELES music festival — because let’s be real, that desert fest in April is quite a bit of ways from LA. A large part of that is how deep the undercard is stacked, and 2015 is no different than any previous year. Take a look […]

FYF Fest 2014 Fashion Photos: It’s beginning to look a lot like another music festival…

From laid back boho fashion, to the scantily clad cries for attention, where you’d think it was Electric Daisy Carnival — FYF Fest 2014 brought out the wildest fashion we’ve seen at the festival yet. As the once DIY music event expands and garners attention away from the indie crowd and towards the mainstream, your […]
