I’m not sure whether it’s more a 2003 dance-punk blowout, a tribute to influential 1990s artists or a nod to hipster flavors of the minute, but the lineup for this year’s FYF Fest was announced today.The one-day affair, Saturday, Sept. 4, at Los Angeles State Historic Park downtown, features dance-music faves the Rapture and!!!, ’90s stoner-rock kings Sleep, punk veterans Unbroken and 7Seconds, and a host of emerging locals who are making their mark — Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti,Warpaint, the Soft Pack, Abe Vigoda, the Growlers and Best Coast.
