And yes, there will be a DJ venue of sorts, so don't worry (gotta leave an announcement or two to help build the suspense, ya know). An announcement for stages/venues will be down the road too, so keep an eye out on Twitter and Facebook and goofy local blogs like this, for more. Info like: The Friday night pre-party will be in a downtown venue never used in a F.u.S.E. Fest before. Hmmmm *chin stroke* what could it be?
For now, make sure to visit the killer redesigned website and the check out the new commercial:
F.U.S.E. Fest 2010: It’s A Ways Off, But Still…
Because we can't come up with something to post are already getting a little excited about the 2010 version of the Fresno Urban Sound Experience Festival, thought we'd throw an update up to give Fresno music and downtown fans something to chew on.
- VENUES. The festival will still be sticking with using operating Downtown Fresno businesses that are in decent walking distance from one another. In fact, highlighting downtown businesses is a large part of what the festival is about. And as for the parking garage, it was kinda awesome but don't look for a return. (Unless you'd like to sponsor it? No? Didn't think so.)
- MUSIC. Here there is a slight change. Still will highlight Fresno area bands that play original music, still will try and keep a nice mix of bands. But things have opened up a bit and we will be looking at bands that have ties to Fresno too. For instance, if you have Fresno natives in your band and like to come play here, you're probably in. Also we'll be again mostly looking at bands that haven't played in the two previous festivals – that won't be hard because our want list is already near full.
- WHEN. No date has been set but it will again be around the beginning of fall, or whatever Saturday the Bulldogs aren't playing Boise or something.
- SPONSORS. It could be your awesome Fresno bizz. Hit us up if you want in on this whole support-local-music-and-downtown thing. Also, look for a fund-raising show or two this summer.
- NAME. Yeah, the whole legal wrangling thing with Fuse TV is still in play so a new name is coming (and no, we won't just be putting "re" in front of it this year). It may be totally different or only slightly so. Whatever is decided on, it will be permanent.
Yeah we've got a while but it doesn't hurt to start the buzz now. And while we wait, you can always keep following the local music scene with us and suggest bands you'd wanna see in this year's fest. Or let us know what you liked and didn't about last year's.
