This time tomorrow evening, devoted music fans will brave the cold (a rare occurrence in this neck of the woods) for the FunFunFunFest. This single-day music festival near downtown Austin will feature three genre-focused stages with eight hours of constant entertainment. What a smart idea - group like bands together so concertgoers don’t have to traipse back and forth between stages.

The set-up goes like this:

-- The Indie Stage hosts eight hot bands, including Octopus Project (3:30-4:15,) Black Angels (6:30-7:15,) Peaches (7:30-8:30,) and Spoon (8:50-10:00.)
-- Punk Stage highlights include the Applicators (4:14-4:45,) Riverboat Gamblers (6:55-7:40,) and Circle Jerks (8:55-10:00.)
—The Austin Fuzion Stage focuses on electronica and DJ skills. Stand-out performances are expected by Thomas Turner of DJ Mel (7:50-8:50,) and Prefuse 73 (9:00-10:00.)

The concept behind this Austin shindig is simple: provide a fun environment that showcases not only local talent, but national underground artists. With several massive festivals already pulling on music fan’s purse strings, it’s extra nice that the last-minute ticket price is a mere $25. Don a thick coat and check it out.
