Fun, fun, and, and course, fun are the order of the day(s) at Austin, Texas' Fun Fun Fun Fest, going down at the fair city's Waterloo Park November 8-9. With a name like that, how could it not be? Good times shall abound in the truly killer lineup, matching the sounds of today with a fuckton of the punk/hardcore of yesterday.

The makers of mirth for the two-day jubilee this time out include Clipse, the National, Deerhoof, Trail of Dead, Dan Deacon, Bad Brains, Islands, Atmosphere, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, St. Vincent, YACHT, Shearwater, Kool Keith (as Dr. Octagon), Frightened Rabbit, Killdozer, Annuals, Dead Milkmen, Flipper, Centro-matic, Bouncing Souls, Parts & Labor, ALL, the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Magnetic Morning (aka Sam Fogarino of Interpol and Adam Franklin of Swervedriver), Bishop Allen, Tim Fite, Dengue Fever, Z-Trip, Minus the Bear, the Spinto Band, Rival Schools, and more. There's also something called "The Revival Tour" featuring Tom Gabel of Against Me!, Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music, Lucero's Ben Nichols, and Avail's Tim Barry performing solo and together.

The only thing more fun would be a third day. Next year, maybe?
