The F Yeah Tour began as a music, comedy, and arts fest held in L.A. every summer, and this year it’s going on tour, on a bus run by vegetable oil. Seven bands, mostly sharing a cut-and-paste DIY sensibility, played at the Black Cat last night: DCist fave Dan Deacon, Matt and Kim, The Death Set, Team Robespierre, Monotonix, Mannequin Men, and comedian Josh Fadem. The event also featured a table with voter registration, information about Burma, zines and graphic novels. Before it was over, the crowd was carrying drummers and drums, running around in circles, and moving through a snake made out of their outstretched arms.

With the main stage space about half full, the show seemed to draw a younger crowd with lots of Xs on hands. We spoke to Kim Schifino of Matt and Kim during a set break, and she said the artists had mostly worked with 22-year old tour organizer Sean Carlson before, and due to various factors, were late to a show the day before in Baltimore. Thankfully the Black Cat show went on with a hitch, with Schifino saying they found oil for the bus at a Chinese restaurant.
