American Steel - The Fest 6

Dead To MeSan Francisco, CA's Dead To Me has been going through some changes leading up to the release of African Elephants, their latest full-length on Fat Wreck (out today!).  Founding member Jack decided to hang it up for a while and focus on family, so the quartet turned trio decided to not let that stop them and keep on making music.  They played at the Fail Safe Records Warehouse during The FEST 8.  Take a look for yourself...there is nothing missing in this trio or their performance.

   

Dillinger Four - Fest 7

Dillinger Four and The FEST are like peanut butter and jelly.  D4 even wrote a song about it called "Gainesville" on their long awaited release C I V I L  W A R from last year which they play for the first time in Gainesville at The FEST.  They will be playing at Fest 8 in three weeks.  This is what The FEST is all about.  If you don't have tickets or travel plans yet, you better hurry up.  "Let's go cause we're not getting any younger."

   

The Briggs - The Fest 6

Check it out here.
   

Against Me! - The Fest 4

readysteadyjedi Against Me! have become one of the largest local bands to come from Gainesville, FL which is quite the statement as local bands include Hot Water Music, Less Than Jake and none other than Tom Petty.  Starting off in 1997 as a solo act, Tom Gabel fine tuned the lineup and after years of touring and releasing stellar material on Plan It X Records, Sabot Productions, No Idea Records, and then Fat Wreck Chords came to a high point in their career in the summer/fall of 2005.  After releasing their tour DVD "We're Never Going Home", playing Warped Tour that year and headlining the Fat Wreck tour, their final show was at home, headlining The FEST 4.  A "We're Never Going Home...Homecoming" if you will. Whether you're an old Against Me! fan or a new fan you'll find this is one of the best compilations of their past work, playing it at home to one of the best crowds of their career.
   

Shook Ones/Paint It Black - The Fest 6 Apartment Show

Shook Ones/Paint It Black - The Fest 6Our buddies in Spanish Gamble (at the time Dirty Money and before that the guys that put us up at Fest V and helped us on tour with Less Than Jake...brothers to say the least) planned out a series of house shows for Fest 6 after a surprisingly successful couple at Fest V.  The shows were planned out to have only one surprise headliner that never showed, with the rest being smaller acts.  Dr. Dan Yemin asked if Paint It Black could play and Ryan, of course, said yeah.  Only problem is that their apartment was on the second floor and when you cram 250 kids in, the floor sunk.  The ceiling in the apartment downstairs apparently fell.  They went on a two month tour before the office opened on Monday and never heard anything about it.  Oh, and the best part was that the cops came and just hung out at 3am at a punk show.  Only in Gainesville.  This was shot by Joe Olmestad who was on tour with Shook Ones...we didn't have any audio there cause we were breaking down after recording Naked Raygun at the Venue.

None More Black - The Fest 7

None More Black - The Fest 7Philadelphia, PA's None More Black started out in 2000 as a new project for Jason Shevchuk after the break up of his band Kid Dynamite.  Jason worked through multiple line-up changes and periods of hiatus.  The band eventually made their way to Fat Wreck Chords before officially calling it quits in 2007.  While Shevchuk worked on another project, Lagrecia, it appeared the band was over for good.  But in 2008, the group got back together and played The Fest 7.  After their show, they surprised everyone by showing up at the Failsafe Records Warehouse show.
