The Fest VI: Day Two Recap


Ladies and gentleman, the wait is over. It’s time now for part two of our Fest VI day-to-day coverage special feature. Onwards my bearded friends!

Saturday was the most action packed day of the weekend in terms of the large volume of bands that were scheduled to play. A full day of music was at hand, with bands playing from 1 p.m. to nearly 2 a.m. There was even an early bird gathering at DIY record shop Wayward Council at 6 a.m. Well, I wasn’t mentally or physically prepared to wake up that early even though I wanted to see just how many people would actually show up. I did, however, get up early enough to hit up the annual No Idea Records yard sale at the label’s headquarters. The event was a little bit different than last year but the hour and a half wait was well worth it. An mindblowing amount of Hot Water Music and Against Me! test pressings and various rare and out-of-print records could be purchased. I could have easily spent all of my money in no more than five minutes but after dropping eighty bucks on some wax, I was ready to see some bands.

Band Spotlight: Fest VI Edition: Vaginasore Jr.

 

Ok ok, I know. I promised all of you, our faithful readers, to a band spotlight every Wednesday leading up to the Fest. As you may have seen, that did NOT happen. I apologize for this. I’ve been a busy beaver of late. But to make up for, while I pack for the trek down to Gainesville, I will focus on the band with the greatest name on the face of the planet; Vaginasore Jr.

Obviously, when you first hear the name, you think this band could not be nearly as ass kicking as their moniker. I mean, seriously…they are called V-A-G-I-N-A-S-O-R-E -J-R. But here’s the catch, they are fucking awesome. They aren’t a cover band. They do not have “annoying punk rock stage names.” They just play Queers and FYP influenced snotty pop punk that would make Ben Weasel proud. Hey, who knows, maybe Vaginasore Jr. will be the next Green Day. Eh, probably not, but Vaginasore Jr. is the type of band that Green Day or any big punk band of that nature would take on tour with them to piss off the mothers of the 15 year old kids in attendance. Oh man, in a perfect world, this would be the case.
