Earlier today before the doors opened on this year’s Levi’s/FADER Fort, we took an opportunity to survey the calm before the storm and give y’all a little peak at how insanely massive this place is. Take a good, long look at the empty space here, because it won’t last long.
Whether you’re feeling what went down at the Levi’s®/FADER Fort today, anticipating the rest of the week, or just chilling in your city and want some ill music, Shockhound is offering a download of some of our favorites, including Dum Dum Girls, Marina & the Diamonds, Neon Indian, Free Energy, Fool’s Gold and MORE. It is free. It is awesome. It can be yours if you head over to Shockhound and press DOWNLOAD. Thanks for coming through today and we’ll see you tomorrow!
And lest you forget, we were there! Check out Free Energy jumpstarting their set with “Hope Child” above.
It’s a gorgeous day in Austin, Texas, and we’re gearing up (read: PUMPED) for the first day of the Levi’s®/FADER Fort. Special thanks to all the folks in the wristband line: we’re psyched to see you, don’t forget your SPF. Today’s line-up is extraordinarily fun and spans guitar-chugging rock, techno-cumbia, psychedelic synth pop and three of the world’s most exciting DJs from London, Los Angeles and Monterrey, Mexico. Check line-up and set times after the jump, and keep this blog on lock for updates all week long.
