Holy hipsters, batman. Pack your canvas “This is not a plastic bag” bags, grab your jeggings, round up your best buds and rev up the hybrid: Filter magazine has waved its magical wand and made your dirtiest wet dream a reality. (No, not the one involving Megan Fox.)
Filter’s Culture Collide Festival includes White Lies, Fran Healy, Sebastien Tellier, Cass McCombs, Black Lips, Klaxons, Phantogram, Monotonix, Casiokids, Tokyo Police Club, The Boxer Rebellion, Suuns and dozens of other equally boss-ass noise makers, all playing October 7-10 in Los Angeles. Download the free sampler here.
In addition to the sonic nirvana, Filter has arranged an equally impressive line-up of food trucks to serve the hungry, the drunk, the tired, the stumbling.
The men and women from the bustaraunt zone will fearlessly fend of fiendish festival hordes with their bewitching meat and dairy treats. Look out for The Gastrobus, Don Chow Tacos, Grill Em All, Lake Street Creamery, Ahn-Joo, Lomo Arigato, Takoyaki Tanota, Dim Sum Truck and India Jones. Trucks to keep you truckin’. (Or the non-hippie equivalent.)
Tickets are just $20. And festival-goers aren’t trapped abusive-chicken-coop-style in a glorified lockdown concealed as a campground. At Culture Collide, one can flit from venue to venue; it’s all centered in L.A.’s usual-suspect clubs like Spaceland, the Echo, Echoplex, The Standard, et al.
