Fun Fun Fun Fest is fortunate this year, as with the last, to have some pretty important names in punk rock on the bill. Bad Brains, The Bouncing Souls and All are just a small part of a long list of groups who have put their stamp on punk over the last 20 or so years. Kevin Seconds, singer of the legendary punk band 7 Seconds, is another one of those important punk figures, and albums like 1985’s Walk Together Rock Together earned 7 Seconds a spot in the hearts of many rebellious, disenchanted youths....

Tim Fite is a singer/songwriter living in Brooklyn who blends hip hop and folk to create a very distinct and raw sound featuring Fite's slight drawl and a drawer full of samples. On his Anti Records debut Gone Ain't Gone, which garnered him considerable critical praise, Fite only used samples from records he bought for less than a dollar. ...

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....

Neil Hamburger, aka Gregg Turkington, will provide a much-needed comedic respite from the barrage of punk, indie, hip hop and local music of this weekend’s Fun Fun Fun Fest. He, along with others like the Tim and Eric Awesome Show and the locals of the Coldtowne Comedy Hour, will do their best to crack up the cold stares of the hipsters and get them to grab their gut for a chuckle. ...

This is a star-studded tour if you’re into gritty, gravely punk. It’s Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music, Tim Barry of Avail and Ben Nichols of Lucero all playing solo sets, but it usually ends up with the guys all playing on the stage backing one another....

Today, Fun Fun Fun Fest announced the afterparties that will be sprinkling the Red River music district over the weekend of November 7-9. ...

The Spinto Band have garnered a fair amount of attention in the UK recently; and no wonder, considering the group's sprawling, heavily melodic sound, which recalls our favorite oldschool Britpop albums....

Now here’s something different: Graham Reynolds and his Golden Arm Trio will bring their progressive jazz fusion to what’s turning out to be the most diverse Fun Fun Fun Fest ever. ...

Fun Fest organizers announced the second most important line-up: the local vendors....

This Portland trio playing Fun Fun Fun Fest gets points for accuracy on the name for sure. They have an indie experimental noise sound that sometimes lands on the side of the sharp and jarring, not too much unlike a fist full of shiny metal picks and tools about to probe around your gum line. ...

Franki Chan is a busy guy. He is the owner of iheartcomix, which encompasses a record label, an event production company, a popular blog and a marketing/promotion company. Besides that monstrosity, Chan is a well known DJ in the swelling underground independent DJ movement. Somehow in the midst of these activities, he still brings his head back down to Earth. ...

Austin's own Fun Fun Fun Fest is where it's at, and all the cool kids know it. This year, we're trying to one-up the awesomeness that was last year's debauched hootenanny, which will be difficult but doable. ...

Started in 2004 by a couple of enterprising University of Texas students, the Austin Asian American Film Festival has, in a very short period of time, grown from humble roots into a full blown cultural event. In this, its fifth year of existence, AAAFF will be showcasing some very accomplished indie filmmaking, but will also be entertaining its participants with multiple parties and a panel discussion focusing on Asian American Television programing, specifically comedic representation of Asian culture....

Admittedly, we were among the cynics, and had a preconceived notion that this MTV-friendly band was going to leave a bad taste in our ears after three days of remarkable shows. To our (pleasant) surprise, Dave Grohl and his band put on an epic show worthy of the final slot at the festival....

Band of Horses have come a long way in a very short amount of time, and the enthusiastic crowd that gathered in front of the Dell stage at 7:30 was a good indicator of just how far. The group played plenty of songs from their latest record as well as a few from 2006’s Everything All the Time, and it seemed as if every track they played was a favorite of someone in the crowd and they sang along loudly....

Offensive, hilarious and meaningful, the male members of Stars kept us laughing and inspired throughout our Sunday morning discussion of pedophiles and music. The group performed at ACL on Sunday afternoon and took a break with us to chat. Austinist contributing writer Candace Birkelbach spoke with Torquil Campbell, Evan Cranley and Chris Seligman. ...

KUT checked in with Beck at ACL last weekend, and you can hear the interview here.......

The San Fransisco-based couple and parents of two performed at the ACL Festival this weekend on Friday afternoon, supporting their latest album Rearrange Us. While being a married couple in a two-piece band is cool, there is much more to know about the creative duo. Contributing writer Candace Birkelbach had a date with the Mates that revealed the genuine passion these two have for making music. ...

The huge ACL balloon lights up in the evenings, wonderful nightlight for music lovers. ...

Returning to ACL for a second time, Swedish import José González transformed the Dell Stage into an intimate venue on Saturday afternoon. Armed with only a classical guitar, a folding chair and a microphone, he filled the air with the lush resonance of strummed guitar and his mesmerizing voice, creating a soothing sonic oasis in the middle of Zilker Park. Two others joined him on stage after a few songs, chipping in on harmonies and peppering the simple compositions with percussive accents from shakers and conga drums....

There's no shortage of things to keep the kids occupied at ACL this year, as dance parties, haircut booths, temporary tattoos and tons of live music keep the underage entertained. ...

KUT's Texas Music Matters checked in with Mayor Will Wynn on Saturday, listen to the talk here.......

For anyone just arriving to ACL halfway through the day in time to catch the opening of Gogol Bordello’s set, there are much worse ways to start off your weekend. The Gypsy punk group fronted by the always-animated Eugene Hutz has a knack for creating colorful and spirited live shows and inciting most everyone within earshot to dance. ...
