F Yeah Fest Tour and July 12th in NYC

A few years ago, right when I moved back to LA I was able to check out the F**k Yeah Fest III in Echo Park. I got to see a bunch of cool bands, spend time in a neighborhood that there’s no way I would’ve hung out in in high school, and most importantly see a bunch of cool bands.

Two years later, the stellar guys behind the fest have booked an entire tour. You can check out all of the tourdates and lineups below, but July 12th might be the most important one. If you’ve been paying attention, July 12th is shaping up to be the busiest night of the summer in New York City. I won’t make it to the Alkaline Trio, American Steele show, but I’ll be at the other two, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see everybody from all of these bands somehwere, somehow at some point in the night.
