Sasquatch 2010: See Our Sunday Twats
Sasquatch 2010
Sunday, May 30
Ben’s full account of Sunday’s hot, hairy Sasquatch! action will be up tomorrow, but in the meantime, here’s what he was blathering about over at www.twitter.com/nadamucho.
Apparently "Whoomp, There it Is" is the official song for #sasquatch tailgate parties.
Long Winters end their set with the Grateful Dead’s "Touch of Grey." Weird. #sasquatch
Every They Might Be Giants song in this set sounds like it belongs in a Spongebob Squarepants cartoon. #sasquatch
This #sasquatch media center = heaven. A quiet, private area with clean bathrooms and snacks.
Holy smokes @subpop’s Avi Buffalo are some energetic young whippersnappers! #sasquatch
@theteganandsara are easily one of the best lesbian sister duos out there. #sasquatch
Relaxing at the top of the amphitheatre with a group of Power Rangers, Wonderwoman and Spiderman. Seriously. #sasquatch
The xx crowd thinks they are at a Def Leppard show. Girls on shoulders, crowd surfing, and drunk fist pumping. #sasquatch
Somehow the subtlety of The xx album translates live. They are an arena-ready rock act. #sasquatch
No one wants to see Girls. They’re all headed to LCD Soundsystem. They are missing out. #sasquatch
OH: "I like Girls. It’s my Summertime jams. And it’s, like, summertime." #sasquatch
The ex-drummer for Howlin’ Rain is playing in this live incarnation of Girls. #sasquatch
Pavement sounding beautifully loose and sloppy like it was 1995. At least until their set was stopped for technical difficulties. #sasquatch
Ten years later and Pavement’s Bob Nastanovich is still completely unnecessary #sasquatch
Public Enemy tearing through Bring Da Noize on the Bigfoot stage. Yeaaahhhhh Boyeeeeee! #sasquatch
Overheard: "Flava Flav has two buses. One for travel, the other to carry his crack and clocks." #sasquatch
Insane dance party going down in the tent for Simian Mobile Disco’s DJ set. There’s even glow sticks!
OH: (regarding #Sasquatch) "This is soooo much better than Folk Life!"
Sorry Massive Attack, I like you, but have to beat the traffic getting out of here. #sasquatch
One more thing: Ironic moustache sightings were down 28% this year. #sasquatch
Just met Pavement/Sonic Youth’s Mark Ibold at Ellensberg bar "The Tav." Didn’t think this night could get any better. #sasquatch
