When it comes to our Los Angeles pals I just feel like a victim of Cupid’s arrow, so proud of the music that our frnds are jamming out. Santa Cruz/S.F. transplants Koalacaust ring this oh so true, having played with Mischief Brew, Paul Baribeau, and Andrew Jackson Jihad these youngins are not only living the folk-punk dream but cultivating some of the dankest tunes around. This entire record is ab solid with genuine balls out jams that need to be sung along to. Koalacaust have been everywhere with us, including many of our firsts; our first fmly show, thank you come again, inciting of a riot, and our third fmly ride. We’ve shared some intimate moments and joints with our relocated Bay Area-bros and it’s an honor to offer their debut CD available for a free download.

new fmly venue


Since the conception of FMLY we’ve had the privilege to do shows at a chocolate store, backyards, houses, lofts, studios, multimedia spaces, parks, bike rides and normal venues of course. We even took over an Asian imports warehouse once… Well we are very happy to announce our newest venue, the Courtyard in Historic Filipinotown right in between downtown and Echo Park. As we tend to do, this is not a typical venue, in fact it’s exactly what it sounds like. The Courtyard is a courtyard of an apartment building with amazing musicians and artists.

To open up this new spot right, we’ve got friends from all over the country. The first show will be on December 12th and will have some amazing music, art and food.

The line up:
: Grooms (Brooklyn)
:: Tempo No Tempo (San Fancisco)
::: Professor Calculus (FMLY)
:::: 60 Watt Kid (LA)

This is gonna get introspective, it’s gonna get loud, and if you’re standing in the first three throws you’re either gonna get wet or get in the mood. These records pull me into a dream…

Of course it’s ALL AGES and the Little Spoon Dessert Truck will be there too!

going full slacker

According to Child Bite at Death By Audio this weekend, “Total Slacker are as cute as buttons,” blending together not only the most bud-heavy of beach-pop jams but the badass appeal of just being in a band and having the best time with each other. Whether they’re tearing apart the stage at Shea Stadium or hot-boxing their spray painted van, Emily, Tucker and Ross are just all-around awesome folk that want to show you how much fun it is to do what you love. After a night at the Cake Shop, we headed back to my apartment with some pals to take part in recreational activities as well as record Total Slacker’s first interview. Video accompaniment coming in the near future. Also of note and something I’ll elaborate more on later, FMLY RCRDS is hosting Total Slacker’s initial demos for free download while cassette duties will be handled by our homies over at Mirror Universe Tapes. More on that in the interview…

Total Slacker – These Condos Don’t Belong

FMLY: Hey slackers, so where are ya’ll from?

Total Slacker: [Emily:] Well, Ross and I are from Santa Fe and Tucker is from Salt Lake City. I came here a few years ago for school and then I stopped going to school…to play in Total Slacker! [Ross:] Aw, is that why? I thought you were just takin’ a break. [Emily:] Ha, yeah, an extended break. You know.
