At the 1st annual Fuck Fest

Photos by Stacie Joy

Last Wednesday night, we headed out to TY Eye in Ridgewood (Queens!) for a show featuring several of our favorite local bands.

Organizers billed the evening as the first annual Fuck Fest, ostensibly an LP release show for TDA's latest, and titled Fuck.

We've seen TDA (aka, Tits Dick Ass), led by Julia Pierce (below), play multiple times in Tompkins Square Park and local venues like Berlin and Baker Falls.
The East Village duo The Acute opened the show. Look for their new record coming soon. (Revisit our Q&A with Viveca Butler and Stephen Cacouris in the EVG archives here.)
Next up: Genre Is Death, who hurtled through another frenzied set of pulsing post-punk grooves. (Read our Q&A with Ty Varesi and Tayler Lee in the EVG archives here.)
Unfortunately, another fave, Adult Human Females, was a late scratch. (Listen to their Live at Tompkins Square Park release here.)

We saw for the first time (and enjoyed) Namesake...
And then came the headliners, TDA, shown here with its current lineup...
The band brought its usual whirlwind energy to the set, with a moshpit quickly forming.
Sometime after midnight, the sweaty crowd didn't seem to mind the 4-degree windchill outside the venue.
