FYF Fest 2011: The Recap

Already in its 8th installment, the redundantly named FYF (Fuck Yeah Fest) Fest made for a great day in beautiful sunny L.A. of music, comedy and fun. Taking most attendants away of the hustle and bustle of the city and the workweek, L.A’s Historic Park became the getaway site to celebrate this year’s Labor Day weekend. This year line-up featured performers like Four Tet, No Age, The Olivia Tremor Control, Glass Candy, Girls, YACHT, URB favorite and L.A. native Nosaj Thing, Explosions in the Sky, Simian Mobile Disco, and the now-considered dance-punk classics, Death From Above 1979.

With a debut album, Keyboard City, prepped for a February 2nd release date via Quannum/Various Music, Sal got a lot of love in the studio during the recording process–working with Money Mark, Bay Area MC Del, and GZA–and a lot of love via remixes of the title track.

GZA took “Keyboard City” for a spin with production chops going to The Hood Internet, and Dan Deacon re-worked the remix into a creation entirely his own.
