Quick (Fun Fest) Hits: Catch Up With Austinist's Coverage

If you haven't already purchased tickets for this weekend's Fun Fun Fun Fest, there's still time. Head over here and scoop up a pair, then rest up for what promises to be a jam-packed weekend full of independent music's most compelling artists. Since Fun Fest stands apart from other festivals by including bands that typically fly under the festival circuit radar, we've tried hard to keep you up to speed with artist profiles, interviews and more in recent weeks. You can find all of this year's updates on our Fun Fest page, but we wanted to give you a little more. Here's some of our history with a handful of our favorite Fun x 3 acts of this year.
