Closing Fun Fun Fun Fest, Slayer treated Austin to greatest hits and then some: “Raining Blood,” “South of Heaven,” “Dead Skin Mask,” “Seasons in the Abyss,” etc. They also dug out the aforementioned “Die by the Sword,” a high point off their 1983 debut LP, Show No Mercy.

After fooling no one with a false ending of “South of Heaven,” the third backdrop of the night unfurled at the back of the stage: a parody of the Heineken logo reading “Hanneman” and bearing his life dates. The top read “Angel of Death.” Reign in Blood’s terrifying opening track – and closing number on Auditorium Shores – now serves as an epitaph for Slayer’s fallen co-founder. – [Austin Chronicle]

The eighth Fun Fun Fun Fest happened last weekend (11/8 – 11/10) at Austin’s Auditorium Shores, hosting three days of music and fun (fun fun), with such acts as MIA, Deerhunter, Slayer, Television, Thee Oh Sees, Kurt Vile, Cut Copy. Johnny Marr, The Walkmen, Jurassic 5, Killer Mike and loads more. Many of them played again as part of the FFF Nites shows, including shows presented by BrooklynVegan and Invisible Oranges.

We were there in the thick of it and, as mentioned above, you can check out pics from Day 1  HERE and HERE, pics from Day 2 pics HERE and HERE; and pics from Day 3 are HERE and HERE. See you again in 2014 Austin.
