FYF Fest announced the addition of Local Natives (one of Ice Cream Man’s faves) to an already stellar lineup that includes The Rapture, Panda Bear, The Mountain Goats, Sleep, Ted Leo and tons more.

This is always a fun time, we’ll be heading out and want you to too, so much that we’re going to give you some tickets! Well, not all of you, but two lucky winners will grab a pair of tickets each. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post letting us know who you’re most excited to see and why and we will pick two names at random to give a pair of tickets each away to. It’s that simple. So give us your feedback and check back in tomorrow to see if we’ve picked your name!

Of course, if you don’t win you can alway buy tickets. They’re only $25! (Or $65 for the super awesome VIP package). The fest takes place Saturday, September 4 at Los Angeles State Historic Park.

Congrats to Oscar and Rosemary! Send your full name, email and phone number to contest@icecreamman.com

Local Natives because they’re spectacular! They also hit a mean drum stick.

I’m excited to see Best Coast. Want to see if they live up to the hype live.

THE RAPTURE!!!!
been listening to them since I was a moody teen and now im a happy twentysomething and they are just as relevant and surprising.

!!! hands down. They put on the best live show around these days.

Please oh please! I would LOVE to see The Blow. Also looking forward to shaking my booty to grooves by The Rapture.

Also, I rarely miss a chance to see Warpaint. They help remind me how much us female musicians can rock!

Probably the most excited to see the reunited Sleep. Can’t wait to hear their deep doomy, stoney dirges reverberate through downtown LA.

But also excited to see legends 7 Seconds and I recently overheard Best Coast in a record store and really like their dreamy, reverb drenched garage pop.

Overall, this event is a great bargain to catch up on great underground acts. Just hope it isn’t triple digits like last year.

Btw, Ice Cream Man, your default font size on this site is ridiculously small. Hard on my old guy eyes… 😉

Unbroken. They were a huge part of growing up among the straight edgers and skaters in Chula Vista. I missed their last reunion show.

Also heard Janeane Garafolo was added. She’s pretty amazing, too.

After rolling a 12 sided die (12 being roll again since there’s only 11 of you) I have uncovered the two winners!

Congrats to Rosemary and Oscar! Email your full name, phone number and email to contest@icecreamman.com to get your tickets.

Not the least bit surprising that you have a 12 sided die, Gooch.

Dave Gooch August 18, 2010 at 3:38 pm

Rosemary can’t make it, so the second winner is now…..

Jenna!

Jenna, we’ll send you an email in case you don’t see this.
