Perhaps by design or coincidence, the Black Stage, which featured Against Me! Friday night, was backed not by the lively bright downtown lights of Austin like the Orange Stage, but by grimy, rusty, old train cars moving along slowly.

Set apart from the other stages, the Black Stage had a personality of its own, perfectly personified by the four-man punk band from Florida.

Against Me! sings about heavy topics such as the woes of teenage angst and drug addiction in a beautifully polished manner. The band members, all dressed in black, conveyed their passion on stage with yells and sweaty head shakes as the sun went down on Fun Fun Fun Fest Friday night.

The crowd was mostly calm, other than the inevitable crowd surfer and tossed bottles.

Once the sky was completely dark, the audience could only be seen by the lights from the stage and when illuminated, their happiness to be experiencing Against Me! was evident.

They were there for the music, and the pure skill of Against Me! is what they got.
