MFNW, Day Three Summary

!!! by KEXP

What can you say about a 14-hour marathon of music that started at 10:30 am with a set by Chvrches and ended after midnight with a set by Austra, that included the discovery of great new band The Family Crest and the front row at an !!! show, when Eric D. Johnson of The Fruit Bats gave you a beer before his set, when you've heard a total of 14 bands at three different venues, one of which may have been the coolest party you've ever been to and where you were one of the few in attendance not a member of one of the many bands that played?

Really, what can you say?  Because I don't know - I'm way too tired to be able to properly describe it, and have to get up early tomorrow morning to do it all over again.  Ill give it a proper recap and post the pictures sometime soon, probably next week.  

Tomorrow can't possibly be as epic as today was, but then again, it will include performances by Animal Collective, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and possibly even Prefuse 73, so literally anything's possible.  We'll see what happens.

Anyway, before I go to sleep, in case I later forget, here's a list of the bands today, in order of appearance:

Chvrches

The Baseball Project

The Wild Ones

The Family Crest
