LOCAL NATIVES GATHER UNDER HOT SUN: The seventh annual Fuck Yeah Fest went off without incident on a scalding Saturday at the Los Angeles State Historic Park downtown, the site of last month’s massive Hard rave, though Pop & Hiss reported a distressing shortage of porta-potties and bottled water dispensaries. The indie/underground fest drew an estimated 20k (who paid $20 in advance and $30 at the venue) to a 35-act bill featuring such buzzing acts as The Rapture, Local Natives, Best Coast, Panda Bear and Washed Out.
