Sasquatch Festival 2012

[OnlyNonStranger]

I guess I'm alone in thinking that the video was awful. I'll still watch them though.

[casey]

I am basically indifferent about the video but am still excited to see them play.

[nathanfairchild]

tenacious d is the only thing i really enjoy jack black in.

[westcoastpirate]

Tenacious D is the only band I don't want to see at Sasquatch. I can't stand Jack Black.

[sbessiso]

LONG LIVE THE D

[rage patton]

Lol. I love how they call themselves out on the failure of that movie. Shame really. That movie was fucking awesome.

[sbessiso]

Deactivated lasers with my dick!

[rage patton]

C'mon Kage now it's time to blow doors down!

[ods..]

Lol. I love how they call themselves out on the failure of that movie. Shame really. That movie was fucking awesome.

YES. When they said it tanked at the theaters... sad. I was there. lol

Have you seen The Complete Masterworks, Vol 2? I just bought it and haven't watched it yet but I guess the second disc is a documentary chronicling the bomb that was The Pick of Destiny. Anyway, I love that movie, too!

Also, I think The D may be the only band Mark's seven-year-old son is jealous we are seeing. Not because he knows who Tenacious D is or anything, but he knows who Jack Black is because of Yo Gabba Gabba and Kung Fu Panda. He told me it was "AWESOME!" that we were going to see Kung Fu Panda's band.

[Boourns]

Hahaha, nice. You know what was awesome to see? Yo Gabba Gabba in the Sahara in 2010.

[casey]

Hahaha, nice. You know what was awesome to see? Yo Gabba Gabba in the Sahara in 2010.

Yeah, I told him we saw Yo Gabba Gabba live too. By that time he was kind of over Yo Gabba Gabba (it's more of a little kid show) but he still thought it was sort of cool and asked me what songs they played. Then he would say things like, "Oh, did they play the one that goes like this...?"

I re-watched that video of The D twice and I like it more now. The hug was kind of lame and I think that's where they lost me, but I like the rest of it. So ready!

I like Jack Black. I've never been interested in musical-comedy acts though.

^^ YES!!!

So I guess Nero's set at Sasquatch is part of the "Second Reality" tour. No idea what that means for stage set up or anything (I'm not really familiar with Nero). Everything has a trailer these days, and the Second Reality tour is no exception:

[davers]

Hmm, interesting. They have 'DJ' beside their name on the poster, so I assumed that meant less of a light show since they will be in the tent and have less time and room to set up anything crazy.

[casey]

Yeah, I mean maybe it doesn't mean a setup. Maybe this is just the name of their tour. I don't really know, just thought it was funny they had a trailer. EVERYTHING HAS TO HAVE A TRAILER.

[Boourns]

The Juggalo Gathering ones can't be beat. I see gig and tour trailers pop up on youtube more and more nowadays.






I thought the Primavera trailer was interesting because they forgot to list PJ Harvey. You'd think someone would have noticed.

That's almost criminal!

Here's another trailer, this time for the new Walkmen album called "Heaven". Have I mentioned that I really enjoy them? Every time I listen to them I am left wondering why I don't listen to them more:

[Boourns]

Haha, indeed. And Sufjan Stevens. Watching it again reminds me of how incredible that lineup was.

[Gribbz]

Following much buzzed about performances at SXSW and Ultra, Amsterdam’s Nobody Beats the Drum prepares for Sasquatch, where they’ll unveil ‘The 333”,’ an innovative visual installation composed of nine massive screens behind the band on stage. ‘The 333”’ debuted at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) this past October, but has yet to be seen in North America since its massive size and technological complexity makes transporting and installing it quite a feat:

Never heard of these guys, but here's the video:

[davers]

You forgot the trailer!

[Sleepingrock]

Does anyone use the Virgin 100$ wine vouchers? It seems like a good deal for cheap wine. Would be nice to bring 15 bottles of wine to Sasquatch for 70$.

[westcoastpirate]

So basically instead on one giant screen they have 9 smaller screens behind them. I'll still check it out. But, based on Boourns schedule, I wonder how this will look during the day.

[casey]

Okay, so Nobody Beats the Drum are DJs? I had no idea. I watched this video yesterday and by the end I was so confused as to what kind of act they were:



What kind of production does the dance tent have usually?

The dance tent has grown in both size and production value exponentially, year over year since 2009. Comparing '09's setup to 2011 is like apples and oranges.

2011

Here's 2010:

[Bumblebee]

[sbessiso]

Still not Sold out.

So awesome. So refreshing!
