Futo

Get your freek on this Friday the 13th at Freekfest, an all-night, three-stage rager where you can get down with some keg beer, good food and, of course, lots of music. This veritable downtown house party will feature no less than a dozen local and regional bands starting at 8 p.m., when a “pre-party” kicks off with tunes from Padre, Mothers and Sundollars. The official happening begins shortly after and boasts a stellar lineup of local rockers, including screamo standouts Nurture, electro-pop project Futo, post-rock notables Juna, roots-garage crew Dana Swimmer, popsters New Wives and recent Flagpole cover models Monsoon. For the full lineup, see the Calendar.
