Some of the highlights of this year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin. Performances by MGMT, Big Freedia, Mastodon, The Hold Steady, The Dwarves, Gwar, The Casualties, Nortec Collective, Suicidal Tendencies and The Gories.

I shot the video with a Sony HDR-XR500.

There’s some audio distortion in a few spots, but I don’t think it’s too distracting. Enjoy.

Tejano music was part of the soundtrack of my life when I was living in New Mexico, as pervasive as the smell of roasting Hatch chilies. The insistent rhythm of Tex-Mex blasting from low-slung, tricked out Camrys cruising Paseo del Pueblo Sur.

The Nortec Collective is doing something very cool here - combining Mexican norteno music with techno: nor-tec. Accordions, horns, drum machines and synthesizers come together in a sound that is both modern and traditional. Borders dissolve in the dance.

Nortec Collective perform live and record as Bostich + Fussible and Hiperboreal + Clorofila under the banner of the Collective.
 


 
Bostich + Fussible are going to be touring in 2011 and here’s a promotional clip. The masks have a hi-tech Lucha libre look. Very hip.
