I am Sasquatch.



In case you haven't heard of it, Sasquatch is a pretty big deal. It's the annual three-day music festival held at the Gorge Amphitheater Memorial Day Weekend. This will be the first year I have the opportunity to attend, and, needless to say, I'm stoked.

As an outlet for all my post-Sasquatch excitement, I'm going to try my best to use the (much-neglected) blog to talk about Sasquatch bands I'm excited about. Between now and the big weekend, I'll feature artists that will be performing at Sasquatch and tell you why you should be excited about said artists.

There are a ton of bands, and plenty of them I've never heard. So, I also want to hear which Sasquatch bands other people are excited about. Who do I need to check out before I head up to George?

In the meantime, if you haven't already heard it, check out and download Mumford & Sons' cover of Vampire Weekend's (just two of the bands I'm squealing with glee about seeing at Sasquatch) "Cousins" here: http://stereogum.com/files/mp3/Mumford%20And%20Sons%20-%20Cousins%20%28Vampire%20Weekend%20Cover%29.mp3
