Ditch the Fest 2010

Muggzy Flowz at Ditch the Fest

Ditch the Fest was an answer to all the ACL hype in Austin. This was like a fest for the home team...over 50 acts and free to all. While most acts were notable local acts such as Write Brothers, The Hi Tones, Zeale, and Death is Not a Joyride there were also national acts such as hip hop favorite Los Angeles' 2 MEX as well as an awesome band we caught called Free Moral Agents.
So For one day this East Austin dive bar turned into a music festival grounds complete with food carts serving chicken and waffles..and in taco form if you wanted, the festival also featured a photo booth, moonwalk for kids, and the awesome outside atmosphere. Big ups to Lucy The Poodle productions who are always furthering the local art and music scene in Austin . Kudos.
