A Hipsters Wet Dream

That's right, I said it. Jealous?

Anyhoo, Austin's third music festival has a pretty stellar line-up of indie bands. It's looks like they have all of their bases covered. Punk, rock, hip-hop and electronic. To bad Dan Deacon sucks balls. Have you ever heard that guy? Geez, suck.

But, again, I think it's weird that Austin has one, two, three music festivals and Dallas has nothing. You can't count Ozzfest because that may or may not come back. And other than that it's in "Far North Dallas," er Frisco. Thanks to Ultra 8201 for hipping us to this. (Ultra8201)
