The Past Goes Better with Memories!
We’ve got a big event announcement to make today. FYF Fest happens Saturday, September 4th at the LA State Historic Park.
If you love:
- legendary punk rock + ethereal indie pop + sheer noise terror
- stand-up comedy
- food trucks
- carnival games & raffles
- vinyl records
- lurking in the blazing hot sun at an indie rock festival
- all of the above
… then you probably already plan on attending this weekend’s FYF Fest. For those of you not yet in the loop here’s the low down:
Nestled between Chinatown and Downtown LA, this all-day concert will feature more than 38 independent artists on three stages, 15 stand-up comedians, a traffic jam of local food trucks, and thousands of music lovers all coming out to laze the day away in LA’s newest state park and celebrate the arts. Bands not to miss: The Rapture, Sleep, The Mountain Goats, Man Man, Abe Vigoda, Cold Cave, Titus Andronicus, The Soft Pack, OFF!, Cults, and Big Freedia “Queen of New Orleans Bounce”. That’s just eleven of 38 artist. Wild.
So how does FYF do it? Good Question.
Every year the unstoppable “geniuses at work” Sean Carlson and Phil Hoelting somehow manage to add more massive stages, more spastic comedians, more fun contests, more general mayhem and more sweaty exhausted faces to their community-based music and arts festival. After four years of sponsoring the event we can only say it just gets weirder, bigger, and better with each passing year. We’re deeply proud of the way our friends have slowly grown FYF into one of the premier independent music festivals on the west coast. Truly a community event, FYF has more heart, guts, and good will than can possibly be explained in this short announcement.
We sincerely look forward to having you with us on Saturday. As always, you bring the water, sunscreen and howls of joy and we’ll supply the shade and free Snap Cases for your iPhone. This one’s gonna be amazing.
UPDATE: Thrasher Magazine is having a contest, you can win a VIP ticket package to this Saturday’s FYF Fest that includes 2 tickets, 2 Craig Steyck Incase cases, and 2 Altamont shirts.

Incase Presents THIS Visits with Danny Gibson
As active members in both the music and art communities, Incase is committed to celebrating artists and helping them spread their message. To further our support of creative communities, we are proud to present THIS Visits, a video project series by Luis Farfan and Aaron Farley. The premiere video in the series features artist Danny Gibson.
An introvert dedicated to little else than his heart and spirit, Danny Gibson’s introduction to art and design came through music. He got his outlook on art from his family, who believe that art is for the masses and should be inclusive rather than exclusive. His family instilled in him a belief that no matter how you earn a living, you can still go out into the world and be an artist in your own right.

Caltopia 2010 Recap
Just as the UC Berkeley event planners like to say, Caltopia really might just be “the two greatest days on planet earth.” (It definitely was for Cal students and friends of Incase, at least!) For the second year in a row, the line for the Incase booth giving away custom screen-printed tote bags wrapped around the entire building, spilling into the parking lot. Friends could be heard screaming to each other, “Whoa, that line’s soooo long!” and “But it’s so worth it, dude!”
Our most popular tote was an illustration of a growling bear by artist Dee Dee Cheriel. Why? Turns out, the bear is Berkeley’s mascot! Really, you’ve never heard so much happy screaming in your whole life over tote bags.
Thanks to all the Cal students and event planners for making this year’s Caltopia so great. And thanks again to Michelle Pullman for being there to manage it all and for being so awesome! Check out Michelle’s interview with Caltopia here (she starts at the 2:22 mark).
To the entire Cal campus community, we sincerely look forward to seeing you all again next year. Have a great fall semester and go Bears!
Splashing and Spazzing Out with Wet Hot People

But don’t forget to RSVP. A whole lotta overheated party people are gonna be all over that rsvp list like red on a sunburn if you don’t jump on it first. Seriously, rsvp and then go get in that pool. With a heat wave like this people are gonna be losing their minds. As always, you bring the sunscreen and we’ll bring the Incase Snap Cases for your iPhone 3GS.

Final 2 BBQs!
Sad but true, our favorite summer barbecue series will soon come to a close. Fortunately both final events feature back-to-back killer chefs and hilarious, bad ass DJs. If you were on hand for BBQ 5 on Saturday, August 21, you experienced firsthand the mouthwatering Southeast Asian-meets-Southern Dixie kitchen mash-ups of Fatty Cue and the weirding ways of DJs Punches.
Actually, here’s co-mastermind Darin Bresnitz to drop science on how it all went down,
“Saturday was the perfect day of sun, fun and deliciously smoky lamb ribs! Selling its entire cache of food, Fatty ‘Cue blew people away with delectable Asian inspired BBQ, while DJ Whitney Fierce rocked the crowd until the sun went down. With a steady flow of sun burnt, summer loving foodies, Zak Pelaccio, owner of the already legendary ‘cue spot, jumped behind the line to dish out his delicious delicacies. Curry flavored black eyed peas and greens from Brooklyn Grange rounded out the menu for a perfect event that was the talk of the weekend.”
Seriously… delicious.
Please join us for the last Finger On The Pulse barbecue on Wednesday, August 25th. Food by Frankies Spunito and tunes by DJ Andrew W.K. That’s right, the Bresnitz brothers have wrangled Andrew W.K. into MCing the barbecue’s swan song. Trust us, you’re in for a real special send off. Thanks again to Greg and Darin for their hard work and good will this summer. We’ll see you in the pit next year. As always, you bring the appetites and we’ll bring the iPhone Snap Cases.
