Sasquatch Festival Day 1 Wrap Up


As the Arcade Fire play the last few songs of the set we're looking back on a day that felt like it would never end. As we strolled in The Saturday Knights let us know that their 45 was droppin and The Hold Steady rocked a small crowd like it was Madison Square Garden. The Blow kept a smile on our face with her political satire and witty commentary, not to mention the girl dressed like a unicorn. Ghostland was the highlight of our day as they channeled Freddy Mercury and fought through a power outage to provide the sun burned crowd with plenty of energy to dance off. Mirah was a much needed break before the thirty minute wait for the Beastie Boys Instrumental Set. Money Mark hit the Korg with a fury and Mike D layed it down on the stand-up bass. Manu Chao brought the dancing fools to floor and kept us pumped for the Arcade Fire, who as I type just finished playing. We're going off the grid for Bjork so check back tomorrow for some of Kyle's great Arcade Fire pics and a review of our favorite Icelandic singers show.

Keep The Car Running..... We'll see you tomorrow. Gander On!

Yacht - "See a Penny Pick it Up

Anybody who throws an album release party on an actual yacht gets props in my book, but I really didn't like this song at first. It's grown on me, much like the entire Yacht album. I am a big fan of his remix of Architecture in Helsinki's "Heart it Race" so I made sure to give it a few more listens and sure enough I can't get enough (my roommate can back that up). I can't wait to see The Blow at Sasquatch, expect a full review and some live blogging action. Check out Yacht's video for "See a Penny Pick it" below.
Gander On!
