It’s almost time to put on your frolicking boots and bust out your frisbees for our first-ever Bay Area Thank You, Come Again! We’ve got a sweet line-up for a beautiful day of jamming, hanging, playing, grubbing, and generally just living it up-ping. Many of these bands will be playing music specifically crafted for this semi-acoustic occasion,  and it’ll be neat to see what creative things they come up with.

The purpose of this event is to strip a concert experience to its birthday suit. We have a performer in their most vulnerable state, an audience, and communal activities for all! Nothing will be handled but good vibes. Remember that when you come to a fmly event, you represent fmly. To those of you who do show up with substances please keep them to yourself, away from the group, and don’t be the one that ruins the day for everyone.

This is a FREE DAY SHOW in a public environment. Come on time because it gets chilly late in the day!
There will be group jamming throughout the day. Bring your instruments and/ or whatever you have lying around your house. Washboards and tambourines encouraged.

The music so far:

Ridin’ On My Scraper Bike

I don’t know if “Vans” are still all the rage in the Bay Area, but I can certainly say that I’d rock a “Scraper Bike” ANY day. Scraper Bike Fever, that’s how we do. There’s an informative article on the scraper bike after the jump, I highly suggest taking a read. I’m also looking for any excuse to post on my favorite bay area musicians and some serious FMLY homies, DJDT and DTF. In this case a DJDT remix of DTF’s “New Era” – seriously, this track is hot. Needless to say, peep the tune in the Youtube video below – I’ve been lettin’ it rock err day for a few weeks now.

via Urban Dictionary: A relatively recent phenomenon from the Bay area (specifically Oakland) in which people modify bicycles to resemble (either functionally, aesthetically or philosophically) the famed “scrapers” of the hyphy movement.
