This is the big Sunday finale gallery. We're tossing in Gayngs (whom to our delight shares a lead singer with Sean Na Na and Har Mar Superstar), Das Racist, Fitz and the Tantrums, Modest Mouse and the Flaming Lips into the mix. Now that's a hell of mix and made for one incredible Sunday. For those of you that were there, I'm betting you remember the feeling of fatigue that was beginning to seep in and you really just wanted to take a nap. Then you realized that Fitz was playing or that Flaming Lips was coming on the main stage at sunset. So you tossed back a Five Hour Energy and felt your eighth wind coming on. more ›

Several of the shows at Sasquatch caught our eye, but one of the best was little known and in front of a 50 some odd person crowd. The Sasquatch End Sessions produced by the radio station 1077 The End were hidden away in a white tent behind the free cigarette tent. Yea, for those of you that weren't at Sasquatch, there was a free tobacco tent where you could procure cigarettes or chew... personally it was pretty off-putting but bully for the smokers, but I digress. There were a couple sessions that we were particularly excited about: The Flogging Mollys and The Decemberists. Incredibly enough we were among but a paltry crowd for these huge names in the tent tucked away and we were beyond excited to be there. The Flogging Mollys mentioned during their mainstage set they felt the earlier set had fallen short but we would respectfully disagree. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we're sharing with you the photographic evidence. more ›

For your Sunday afternoon pleasure, we're dropping some fantastic shots of Sunday morning's happenings at Sasquatch. The Moondoggies never disappoint, we're way too lucky to have these guys as locals, and it's about time that the rest of the world started recognizing them as well. They were also among the locals that took part in MTV's mini-series faux documentary Five Dollar Cover. more ›

Saturday at Sasquatch! was filled with music, fun, food and most importantly: sunshine. I may have left my suntan lotion at the hotel, but it was still completely worth it to get some fresh American sunshine. more ›

We've already mentioned Dan Mangan a few times to you, so perhaps drooling over him again isn't necessary. But he has continually impressed us with his intense, yet down-to-earth music, which seems to cycle through your mind without notice until you hear yourself singing it one day while waiting for the bus. Not that we would know anything about that. more ›

It's undeniable, Matt and Kim put on one of the best shows out there. We've seen them more than a couple times and every one of them feels as if it's the first time. Kim's unceasing smile and enthusiastic drumming are complimented by Matt's kicks and huge grin behind the keyboards. To top it off they threw empty balloons into the audience for fans to blow up and bounce around at a specified time bringing on an instant party. It's pretty obvious from the photos they have an incredible time performing and we have just as much fun watching. more ›

Morgen's questionable decision leads to some unquestionably awesome Sasquatch! shots. Yes, we know it was almost a week ago, but really--these pictures are excellent. more ›

I didn't know exactly what to expect as I made my way over to the Biffy Clyro photo pit. I was definitely excited to start the long weekend of music, running around and photo snapping. I haven't experienced this festival behind the lens before so who knows what to expect with something like this? The crowd was pretty sparse compared to the onslaught to come as the weekend went into full-swing but the buzz was already growing. As Biffy threw out their first song their hair started whipping every which way and I knew it was going to be a great weekend. more ›

More details on the School District ethics as that crisis winds down, an Alaskan wildfire and upgrades to the Aurora Bridge -- but mostly just a whole lot of old-fashioned violence. more ›

Whew! We made it home in one piece though sunburned, tired, sore, minus one water bottle and maybe a little hungry. Lily and Morgen were unbelievably happy to be there every second evidenced throughout the next week or two in galleries, a mini photo shoot, reviews and interviews. If you were there relive it with us and tell us your story. We're excited to hear how your fest went, it was sort of a blur for us despite the fact we kept sober the entire time (we swear!). more ›

So far Sasquatch been crazy. The crowd for the reunited Death From Above 1979 was intense and Foo Fighters ending the night was insanity. Here's a little taste of what we've captured so far. Much more to come throughout the weekeend and through next week. more ›

On this, the weekend of Sasquatch!, is it any surprise that there's a video claiming to have captured the mythical beast itself? Media outlets today are atwitter about this video, which features a hulking, shadowing figure that the hikers who shot the footage are purporting to be--you guessed it--Bigfoot. more ›

We're really excited. No, to rephrase that properly we're ecstatic about the newly revealed Sasquatch Music Festival lineup. One little gripe, if you're gonna have a huge party where you're set to show the lineup for the first time to all the excited attendees (supposedly before anyone else knows) then don't leak it to other media outlets so they accidentally(?) post it to their site before names are revealed at the show. more ›

The lineup for Sasquatch 2011 is out, announced last night at a special performance at the Showbox. The big names include The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse and, of course, the Foo Fighters. more ›

This Sunday, Live Nation and Sasquatch Music Festival are putting on a fabu bill at Showbox Market. The lineup consists of three incredible acts, each capable of headlining their own shows. OK, we won't keep you in suspense any longer: The Thermals; Das Racist, and Mad Rad are all a part of the show. Crazy right? What's even crazier is the entry price... FREE! Starting yesterday participating Verizon Wireless stores are giving away tickets. The locations taking part are Downtown Seattle (6th & Olive), Northgate Mall and Bellevue Square Mall and you can only grab two each. more ›

You are correct, Sasquatch is in May over the Memorial Day weekend, but there's already news spilling out of the official site. As if we weren't all excited enough to get the winter behind us, come out of hibernation, and bask in the sunshine; Sasquatch! has officially announced their first headlining band and the extension of their festival out to 4 days (May 27th - 30th). Since you're chomping at the bit to hear (if the image didn't already tip you off), the first headliner announced is the Foo Fighters. Seriously, if that's just the first band to be announced, can you imagine how epic the entire weekend will be? We are nearly bursting at the seams to know what the rest of the lineup has in store. more ›

This juicy bit of miraculous music news was posted on the Sasquatch Music Festival website a few days ago: more ›

Sometimes, all you have to do is shake your bony little ass and the party organically develops around you. Who knew? IF YOU DANCE IT, THEY WILL COME. more ›

None of us are going to Sasquatch this year. That's right, all of Seattlest--all of this MANY-HEADED CERBERUS--is far too lame to be heading out to the Gorge for what looks to be a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Instead, we're staying home, putting a few ice cubes in our scotch, and breaking out the summer tweed. But were we attending the three-day fest this year, we'd have plenty of good acts to choose from. We perused the schedule to come up with our hypothetical recommendations for this very real festival. more ›

FREE DATE NIGHT: Shop sex toys with your beloved. We're going to quote here: "Enjoy mini-workshops on fellatio, the G-spot, and sex positions." The first twenty-five couples in the door get a goodie bag, so if you are both cheap and horny, this is the place for tonight. 7 p.m. // Babeland // 707 E Pike St // free more ›

The official lineup for this year's Sasquatch (May 23-25) was announced today, and it's a doozy. The big names: Jane's Addiction (as the requisite reunion band), Kings of Leon, Nine Inch Nails (who will soon be taking a sabbatical), Ben Harper (yes, again), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Erykah Badu, The Decemberists, Fleet Foxes (natch), TV On The Radio (who will assuredly be much better at Sasquatch than their SNL appearance), Animal Collective, Santogold, Of Montreal, Explosions In The Sky, M. Ward, The Avett Brothers, Doves, Grizzly Bear, M83, and Girl Talk. more ›

Vince Mira's on the rise. We took note of him first because of his disconcertingly good Johnny Cash covers, but the dark-eyed teen is writing and performing his own songs now. He's played full-length sets at all kinds of festivals this year, from Sasquatch to Bumbershoot to the Seattle Tattoo Expo, and the singer/songwriter performs fairly regularly at spots around town. more ›

Remember the Sasquatch/Bigfoot corpse found in Georgia recently? Last week we heard it "failed a DNA test"--and this week, we find it failed the DNA test because the corpse was made out of rubber. That's kind of funny, but far less interesting than if it had indeed turned out to be Homer Simpson (Seattlest commenter zagreusmd's prediction). Are we the only Pacific Northwestern child ever regaled with medium-tall tales about the Quarks that roam local forests? Surely, those are real. more ›

Two hunters claim they found a dead Bigfoot (better known around these parts as Sasquatch) in some woods in northern Georgia. The hunters, with the help of a Bay Area group dedicated to finding Bigfoot, will host a press conference on Friday in Palo Alto. The hunters claim the animal they found is male, was seven feet seven inches tall, weighed over 500 pounds, and is covered in reddish hair. We're skeptical of Bigfoots in Georgia (in the Cascades--sure!) but you better believe we'll be tuned in to Friday's press conference. more ›

Road trip! The seventh annual What the Heck Fest is taking place all weekend at venues in Anacortes. Mt. Eerie is but one of the many bands set to perform. more ›

This reminder courtesy of Seattlest's favorite Port Orchard cartoonist Pat Moriarity: more ›

Those ribs were great, though! And who needs live music anyway when you've got entire seasons of unwatched Lauren vs. Heidi drama? more ›

It's Thursday night, and we're getting pretty psyched up for Sasquatch. We've spent the better part of our day online, listening to but a small sample of the bands we'll see this weekend. And tonight, we finally got around to watching this "Open Windows" Death Cab documentary video for Current. more ›

Lo-fi indie pop band Say Hi used to be known as Say Hi to Your Mom. It also used to based in Brooklyn and now it's found in Seattle. Regardless, the man behind the band is Eric Elbogen, who records the songs at home, playing all the instruments, providing most of the vocals (except for the occasional guest artist), and even mixing the tracks his own damn self. His last album (pre-name change), Impeccable Blahs, was mostly about vampires, though Star Trek got a shoutout too. Now the band's in version 2.0 with a truncated moniker and new album The Wishes and the Glitch, which has a decidedly (*cringe*) more mature sound. Say Hi plays Chop Suey this Thursday, along with Battle Hymns and Siberian (9pm, all ages, $8). We spoke to Eric about getting older, living and playing in Seattle, and being on the low rung of the Sasquatch ladder. more ›

This year if Sasquatch just ain't your thing, there's an upcoming brand-new music festival hosted by our neighbors to the north. Yes indeedy, this summer marks the first-ever Pemberton Festival, to be held July 25-27 in Pemberton, British Columbia. Considering it's their first year, this little baby music fest has rounded up some big names, including Coldplay, Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails, Jay-Z, Interpol, Death Cab, Flaming Lips, and Vampire Weekend. There'll be two stages and a dance tent to house the 50+ bands playing the fest over all three days. Here's the confirmed line-up so far: more ›
