FFF Artist Spotlight: Toro Y Moi

I feel like you all should already be familiar with Toro Y Moi, but on the off chance that you aren’t, or perhaps forgot that this gentleman will be gracing our presence shortly at Fun Fun Fun Fest, I thought I would remind you just what we have to look forward to. Toro Y Moi, or Chaz Bundick, has carved out a name for himself over the past five years with his groovy pop tunes with heavy psych influences. His music will be perfect for the festival setting– light enough to dance to in the sunshine, but grounded enough to hold your attention. Listen to “Buffalo” below off of his most recent release, What For? and be sure to check out the swirling and quirky psych pop from Toro Y Moi at 4:45 Friday on the Orange Stage, or a DJ set from the gentleman (Les Sins) over at Vulcan Gas Company at 11:45 Friday night.

FFF Artist Spotlight: Viet Cong

October 28, 2015 nicole.baumann Leave a comment

There’s been a lot of controversy recently around The Artist Formally Known As Viet Cong, but despite all that nominal hubbub, this four member group of post punkers are swinging through our town to play some heavy rock at Fun Fun Fun Fest. Viet Cong’s self titled album came out at the beginning of this year, and since then the band’s made waves with their dark wave post punk. Word on the street is that they’re one of the bands that you shouldn’t miss and that everyone will be talking about. So take a listen below and check them out on the Orange Stage on Friday at 3:35 or at The Sidewinder at 12:15 Saturday Night.
