Videos: Shook Ones: "Tired of Sex" (live at The Fest 8)

Tonight's Fest 8 video update stars Shook Ones, who ended The Fest for many of us on Sunday night with an insane cover of the Weezer classic, "Tired of Sex". There were technical difficulties throughout the end of the band's set and kids were going apeshit all over The Atlantic, so disregard the poor quality of the video and try to imagine being there (or reminisce, if you were there).
Videos: How Dare You: "Eat at Charlie's" (live at The Fest 8)

Better late than never, our Fest 8 videos continue tonight with a live performance from Orlando, FL outfit How Dare You. Despite some power issues at The Venue pushing back set times on Saturday afternoon, the crowd continued to wait outside the doors (have your bags ready!) and once inside, raged hard to the band's brand of melodic punk rock.
"Eat at Charlie's" comes from the band's 2008 full-length Comfort Road. The band's newest release is a split 7" with The Knockdown, out now on Kiss of Death Records.

Our Fest 8 videopalooza continues tonight with an acoustic performance from Cheap Girls. The Lansing, MI outfit dropped the amplifiers and the fuzz (and the drummer, poor man) for a brief acoustic respite on Sunday night in front of a packed house at Gainesville's Civic Media Center. "Hey Hey I'm Worn Out" is from the band's recent sophomore full-length and debut for Paper and Plastick, My Roaring 20s.

This past weekend Philadelphia had the joy of witnessing a The Misfits cover set from a true überband. The band was fronted by Ted Leo and featured Adam Goren of Atom and His Package as well as Andy of Paint It Black members of Franklin. The set featured Leo in full Misfits-era Danzig get-up and featured a cover of the Danzig classic "Mother."

Continuing our barrage of Fest 8 videos tonight, here's one by The Sidekicks. The Cleveland, OH outfit kicked off Saturday's showcase at Market Street Pub in rousing fashion, despite their set happening far too early in the day for much of us to rage as hard as we would have liked.
"Looking" comes from the band's recent and acclaimed full-length, Weight of Air. You can click Read More to check out the video.
Videos: Broadway Calls: "Midnight Hour" / "Van Rides and High Tides" (Live at The Fest 8)

Several Punknews.org staff members had the privilege of attending The Fest 8 in Gainesville, FL this past weekend. We were able to capture a lot of great video and over the next several days, we'll be sharing the results of our exploits with all of you.
Tonight's video comes from Broadway Calls, who took a day off from their West Coast tour with Bayside and The Bouncing Souls to fly into Gainesville and play a Sunday matinee set at The Fest. The sizable crowd, hardly weary from two previous days of Festing, displayed their appreciation in the form of repeated stage dives.
In the video the band performs one song from each of their full-lengths: "Midnight Hour" from this year's Good Views, Bad News and "Van Rides and High Tides" from their 2007 self-titled full-length. You can click Read More to check it out.
