F*ck Yeah Fest Set Times

Here are the set times for the F*ck Yeah Fest. I was going to do a big recommendations post, but I don't even know where to begin. There are so many bands I've never heard. The beauty is that it's cheap and in close proximity, so you can just wander around. In the past the Echo has been packed to the gills (and without A/C). Jeff Weiss did a preview for the LA Weekly.
