Fx3 Fest Spotlight: Yeasayer
Now that our ACL coverage has fully wrapped, it’s time to start focusing on the upcoming Fun Fun Fun Fest in early November. We’ll start things off just like we did with ACL and touch on a few bands that we’re excited about seeing during the festival. Starting our spotlight coverage off is Brooklyn based band Yeasayer. Being from Brooklyn in this day and age it’s easy to get lost in the massive quantity of bands coming out of the area. When you’ve got MGMT, A Place to Bury Strangers, Grizzly Bear, and countless other acts, one can easily forget about a great band like Yeasayer. We haven’t. The band first caught our ear after their incredible 2007 debut LP All Hour Cymbals and we’ve been hooked ever since. We’ve also seen the band live a few times now and we can say that this won’t be a set you want to miss over the Fun Fest weekend. The band is also said to be hard at work on their sophomore effort which is due out in January. You can catch Yeasayer at 6:45pm on Friday November 7th on the orange stage.
