Oh, joys arise, the sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the week
The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
It's all around you out here

...the type of song that starts one way, but ends in another.  And I never complain when there is a bit of crescendo.

Driftwood is excited to check in with bunch of great bands at this weekend's FYF Fest in Downtown LA.  From Little Dragon, Real Estate and Slowdive to Angel Olsen, Blood Orange and The Strokes, it's a great reason (...the only?!) to hang out near the Coliseum.  One band we haven't seen in a few years will be playing Saturday night prior to releasing their 5th album (and first without bassist Carlos Dengler), El Pintor, on Sept. 9th.  And if you can't catch them this weekend, they'll be back to play Pomona's Fox Theater on Sept. 22nd.  Please to enjoy "All the Rage Back Home".
