Fun Fun Fun Fest Interviews: White Lung
Mish Way of Vancouver hardcore (popcore?) lifers White Lung embodies everything you want out of a frontperson. She’s dynamic, brutal, witty. You’re guaranteed an honest, earnest take on everything. She’s also a seasoned journalist I’m lucky to call an acquaintance. White Lung performs at Fun Fun Fun Fest on Saturday, 2:30pm, Black stage.

Housecore Horror Live Shot: Dirty Dog Bar
Night one of Philip Anselmo’s festival celebrating all things horrific and metallic started out with culture and ended in chaos. The evening got off to a weird start, kicking off with the neoclassical piano stylings of Goatcraft.

ACL Live Shot (Second Weekend): Passion Pit
It’s easy to chide Passion Pit. They’ve mastered a brand of hyperkinetic, oversaturated electro-pop that seems to resonate with every man, woman, and child with a Twitter account. Their recorded material, meanwhile, has been consistently – almost defiantly – good.

ACL Live Shot (Second Weekend): Depeche Mode
I wasn’t a teenager in the mid-Eighties, nor do I have a fashionable coke habit. Both those things meant I was going into Depeche Mode’s second ACL Fest co-headlining set Friday somewhat handicapped.

ACL Live Shot (Second Weekend): Black Angels
The Black Angels have nurtured a long, fearless catalog. They’re responsible for the consistently mind-blowing Austin Psych Fest. They might be the only band in history to make screeching, acid-washed psych-rock without looking like a bunch of art school dropouts.

ACL Live Shot: Divine Fits
With debut A Thing Called Divine Fits out a year, Britt Daniel looks perfectly natural onstage with Dan Boeckner. They’re no longer a supergroup, just a regular band with a lot of grooves.

ACL Live Shot: Grimes
There’s been enough time between the 2012 release of Visions and the second day of the first weekend of the 2013 Austin City Limits Music Festival that I could actually start to convince myself that Grimes had crafted a fantastic album.

ACL Live Shot: Haim
I was standing outside at 1:15pm when three buses zoomed right past my stop, each stuffed with ACL adventurers. I shifted my weight nervously when the bus drivers locked eyes with mine. It was an ultimatum straight from the gods: I would have to walk.

ACL Live Shot: Vampire Weekend
Shouldn’t Vampire Weekend be headlining this festival? They’ve got a trio of critically beloved and commercially ubiquitous LPs, plus style, grace, and charm. And they’re enjoyed by both aging boomers and wayward 12-year-olds.
