Adorned with radiant tulle and opalescent bubbles, Ditch The Fest Fest 7 shone this past Saturday, wrapping up its series for the year. Just like last weekend’s Ditch The Fest 6, 25 Austin-based bands joined together in harmonious unison for a radical nine-and-a-half hours of music, as beautifully integrated members of the community jammed along in appreciation of the alternative to ACL Fest. Select any photograph below of the 14 acts we were thrilled to catch to open in a slideshow viewer and get a feel for the paradise Raw Paw seamlessly created out of Empire Control Room & Garage, with a little help from ambient good vibes and glitter, of course.
