Nasty Fest at the Faversham in Leeds, England seems to take its name from a history of lineups featuring bands that incorporate a little extra noise into their indie rock, pop, and rap formulas. We doubt it has anything to do with any sort of grotesque goings-on, because at least in pictures, the club looks like a respectable venue, a place for nice young Brits to listen to live music by nice young musicians. Rock fans never did anything nasty, right?

Relative cleanliness aside, the Faversham will host its ninth annual Nasty Fest on May 17. This year, the 12-hour event features sets by Yeasayer, No Age, Cadence Weapon, the Mae Shi, A Place to Bury Strangers, Soiled Mattress & the Springs, Slow Club, Napoleon IIIrd, and Pulled Apart by Horses, among others.
