Touch the awesomeness if you can: Mission Creek has teamed up with the Los Angeles-based promoters of F Yeah Fest to bring their energy through Iowa City on their upcoming tour. F Yeah Fest, formed five years ago in L.A., is an annual summer festival that features a day of killer bands and comedians rocking out and dropping jokes. These are the same folks responsible for the Mess With Texas party that invades SXSW in Austin each year. Now they’re making their festival mobile, hitting up 28 cities in 28 days, beginning in Baltimore in June, wrapping their away around the country, and then finishing in Brooklyn. About halfway through the tour they’ll be stopping off at the Mill in Iowa City for a raucous party.
The Iowa City show will feature sets by Tel Aviv’s Monotonix, Brooklyn’s Team Robespierre, Iowa City’s very own School of Flyentology (who have graciously put their weekly residency at the Yacht Club on hold for this special show), a couple of comedians, and one more band TBD (very soon!) There may even be a couple rounds of Bingo but we haven’t confirmed that quite yet. Nonetheless, take a deep breath and compose yourself ’cause it’s going to a full-on head-banging, shot-pounding extravaganza of a night (Ed. Note to Self: take Wednesday, July 2nd off from work.)
