Ok. Let’s give it a shot and try to narrow it down to the absolutely-can’t-miss acts at Fun Fun Fun Fest (from this point on referred to as “FFFFest” and the “Can’t Miss ‘Em” List). As our lengthy soundcloud playlist is any indication, it’ll be a feat to not feel like you’re missing out on that key moment of zen-like awesomeness. But rest assured, my friend! There’ll be plenty of, *ahem* fun, to go around, and if you miss anything during the day, a ton of artists are participating in the FFF Nites portion. But buy your ticket now.
Chronologically:
1. Blood Brothers – Fri. – Black Stage – 5:15pm
Feel no shame throwing back to this post-hardcore pseudo-screamo band from the suburbs of Seattle. They’ve recently reunited for a string of dates including FFFFest. Bonus fact: Blood Brothers bass player Morgan Henderson is a multi-instrumentalist for the Fleet Foxes and the Cave Singers. #themoreyinzknow

2. Ginuwine – Fri. – Blue Stage – 5:15pm
I know Ginuwine is on at the same time as the Blood Brothers. That being said…Ginuwine is Donna’s cousin:
3. 2 Chainz – Fri. – Blue Stage – 8:55pm
…so this is the place to be on a Friday night. Am I right?

Get a dose of exceptional local talent. Represent!
5. King Tuff – Sat. – Orange Stage – 1:30pm
Oh yes. Melt away…
6. Gary Numan – Sat. – Blue Stage – 3:15pm
My second overlapped recommendation. It pisses me off. The facial expressions in this video should be NSFW:
7. Courtney Barnett – Sat. – Orange Stage – 3:35pm
I’ve enjoyed this song on repeat.
8. Modest Mouse – Sat. – Orange Stage – 8:30pm
Gosh, please?
9. Pissed Jeans – Sun. – Black Stage – 2:45pm
I know it’s Sunday, but if you’re not awake by now, you won’t get this.
10. Angel Olsen – Sun – Orange Stage – 2:30pm
😉 hi Angel
11. Foxygen – Sun. – Orange Stage – 3:35pm
They released a new album two weeks ago and we love it. Let’s all go see it live.
12. Dum Dum Girls – Sun. – Orange Stage – 4:40pm
Sunday is obviously a time to get a good spot at the Orange Stage.
