TICKETS GO ON SALE AT 2PM CST
August 25th, 2009 (Austin, TX) – Transmission Entertainment is pleased
to announce the lineup for the 2009 Fun Fun Fun Fest, taking place on
November 7th and 8th at Waterloo Park in Austin. Fun Fun Fun Fest made
its first appearance on a cold Friday evening in 2006, offering a
unique approach to festival booking, filling stages with talent
bubbling from the underground: what sounded great, and what was making
an impact, regardless of what mainstream media said was cool. What
started out as a show for a few touring acts and local favorites has
become a movement -- a festival that fans and bands alike realize
needs to be experienced year after year.
Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has made a significant impact
on the country’s winter calendar, successfully combining the vast
worlds of indie, punk, rap, electronica and comedy while showcasing
some of the city’s most unique local businesses. It is the most
relaxed, laid back and (yet) progressive festival in the market place
today, a true urban event in the middle of downtown Austin. Most
importantly it’s a fest we in the music community want to go to,
without all of the filler that shows up at corporate music carnivals
around the world. Fun Fun Fun Fest: the fest before the fest ... where
you go to see what’s about to happen as opposed to what's already been
done.
Each year, fans have been treated to sets by reunited legends as well
as prominent acts from across the globe at the festival. And this
edition is no different – music aficionados will be eagerly awaiting
performances by DEATH, The Jesus Lizard, Shonen Knife, Mission of
Burma, and Danzig. Of Montreal, King Khan & BBQ Show, GZA, No Age,
Young Widows, Ratatat, Yeasayer, and The Cool Kids ensure that a wide
variety of relevant artists will again be on display, and as always,
Austin is well represented, this year by the likes of Shearwater, Foot
Patrol, Black and White Years, The Laughing, Harlem, and Strange Boys.
In true Fun Fun Fun Fest fashion, fans can now learn about new music,
research the line up, listen to MP3s, interact, enter contests, buy
merchandise and more; simply by joining the new Fun Fun Fun Fest (http://www.funfunfunfest.com) community online.
