Shows: Fake Four Fest

OK. So if it’s not clear yet, it will become so soon: I’m a huge fan of the record label Fake Four Inc. Two of their albums made it on to my best of 2010 list and they provide a home to a number of my favorite artists. Even the musicians on Fake Four who I’m not exactly familiar with I assume to be good because of their presence on the label. The consistency of releases is solid enough as to generate that kind of trust. And that makes me hopeful for the future of the Indie Label as an institution to a certain extent. I’m planning on beginning a series of posts that feature my favorite records from my favorite labels, but that’s still in the planning stages. Right now, I want to draw your attention to this poster:

Looks juicy don’t it? If I didn’t need to be in town for something important the night of and after, I would hop a plane down to this shindig in a heartbeat. In terms of this shit being bananas, these bananas are in pajamas and they’re bouncing down the motherfucking stairs. None of my friends live in LA, so nobody I know is going to this show, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna celebrate in my own way.

Friends. For your listening pleasure I have put together a playlist for you to get your groove on to that features some of the best cuts from the Fake Four Fest artists. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and I hope that, if the beat moves you, you stand up… if you wanna get down.
