Austin is no stranger to major music gatherings, but local fave Fun Fun Fun Fest has grown out of the shadow of it’s older siblings ACL and SXSW to become an event worthy of national attention on its own. Here’s URB’s video recap by Calvin Millar with awesome footage of Spank Rock, Big Freedia, Major Lazer and more. Music by Neon Indian. Wish you were there? You betcha.

By our tally, “#1 Hit” the fifth cut we’ve now heard from Spank Rock’s new album, Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar. And like the four prior tracks, “#1 Hit” comes complete with an all-star cast of collaborators, including producers Boys Noize and Mark Ronson. Hard to imagine the electro kingpin and the man behind Amy Winehouse on the same track? Well, the tune itself is a little schizophrenic, jumping from b’more beat to synth grind to breezy breakdown. But that’s not half as weird as the video, which utterly defies description. Just watch and get weird after the jump.

“Car Song” is the fourth tune we’ve heard off of Spank Rock’s upcoming album Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar. And like his previous pairings with Boys Noize (”Energy“) and Big Freedia (”Nasty“), the addition of Santigold to the tune proves that Spank Rock picked all the right collaborators for his second full-length, which is dropping Sept. 27th.

We’ve dug the first two track, “Energy” and “DFT DADT” released from Spank Rock’s long-awaited second album, Everything is Boring and Everyone is a Fucking Liar. But both lacked the booty-dropping heat that still makes us fire up his first album, YoYoYoYoYo, six years after it’s release. We you can be relieved because here comes the tune we’ve been waiting for. “Nasty” is produced by Le1f and it’s strip-club flavor is apparent from the start. Then New Orleans bounce sensation Big Freedia comes in at the end and kicks things into doubletime hyper-overdrive. Her part only lasts 60 seconds, but there’s no way you won’t be covered in sweat (and maybe other fluids) by the time the tune ends.

Things are heating up on the hype around Spank Rock’s long awaited second album, Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar. We were given a free download of the first track, the Boys Noize-produced “Energy,” a few weeks back, and were honestly a bit perplexed by the song’s un-hip-hop vibe. Now here’s the video for another tune, “DFT DADT,” with production by Zeb Malik that hit’s on the dirty ’80s electro vibe we’ve been craving from Spank Rock.
