Not to be outdone by neighboring Silver Lake with its Sunset Junction street fair, the Echo Park area of Los Angeles also has its own yearly music festival. It goes by the name of Fuck Yeah, and August 24-26 will bring its fourth incarnation. Amongst those who help put the fest together are Keith Morris of Circle Jerks/Black Flag fame. Highlights of Fuck Yeah IV include No Age, Deerhunter, Busdriver, Boom Bip, Lavender Diamond, Entrance, Times New Viking, Darker My Love, the Mae Shi, Foreign Born, Imaad Wasif, Gris Gris frontman Greg Ashley, Indian Jewelry, the Explosion, Jay Reatard, American Steel, Pissed Jeans, Best Fwends, XBXRX, Langhorne Slim, Great Northern, and Midnight Movies. More big names are expected to be announced between now and the fest. You can head to Fuck Yeah's MySpace for more details, and head on after the jump for the rest of the bands announced so far...
