Sasquatch Festival

[codytwo]

Polyphonic Spree just added. Woohoo. This year's line-up is ridiculously awesome. Best month of concerts for me EVER: April 27th - May 27th.

[chunk]

thermals minused and added to atp. maybe reconsider.

[codytwo]

Reconsider what? The Thermals kind of suck. Just a little, but enough to make me not miss them that much.

[chunk]

ok, then. have fun with 25 hippies on stage.

[wmgaretjax]

I won't be going on sunday (arcade fire in portland), but I would much rather see the Thermals, they put on a significantly better show than the Spree.

[chunk]

the polyphonic spree are an irritating gimmick annoyance of a band.

[codytwo]

I've never seen Polyphonic Spree, but I have seen the Thermals. They are fun, but no more fun than any other punk rock show. And when you told me to reconsider, chunk, what did you mean? Like, consider going to ATP from Seattle instead of driving a few hours to the Gorge? Or reconsider Sasquatch as a good festival because a band from Portland that plays here every other weekend is going somewhere else instead?

[chunk]

its ridiculously average.

[codytwo]

Because the Thermals won't be there? What about it is NOT good? Point out one or two specific bands which make it "ridiculously average."

[wmgaretjax]

good point about thermals and portland.

I have to say, I'm not too impressed with Sundays line up too much. I'd love to see Bad Brains and Clinic, but beyond that it's not for me. I'll be there saturday for sure though.

[chunk]

beastie boys are not good. the rest is all taste.

[chunk]

but seriously, saturday was the only good day and it became not as good when the thermals dropped out.

[AEversW]

im gonna try and make it up there this year. Arcade Fire and Bjork at the Gorge is tough to pass up.

[codytwo]

The Beastie Boys ARE good. As are Spearhead, and the Black Angels and Bad Brains. There is nothing "average" about the lineup.

[chunk]

i liked saturday. i thought interpol was originally on saturday. im not a huge fan, but bjork, interpol, arcade fire, hold steady and thermals was enough to make me drive up. now, saturday with the hold steady and an af/bjork repeat is not enough. subtracting thermals and adding polyphonic spree does nothing. just makes me want to go less.

[codytwo]

Then you suck. The Thermals play everywhere all the time. They are constantly touring. To decide not to come because they canceled is stupid.

[chunk]

you forgot polyphonic spree. im stupid because i hate the polyphonic spree. i hate to be in the same time zone as them.

[codytwo]

Not going to a festival because there is a band playing that you don't like is stupid. Not liking Polyphonic Spree has nothing to do with it. I doubt you were actually going to drive up here and canceled because of that. If you did, you're a moron.

[full.on.idle]

sasquatch lineup is weak

[hangthedj112]

It is fairly meh, outside of Beastie Boys and a few others it's just Coachlla jr. I mean I know the bottom portion of the line-up is fairly different, but none of those bands are all that rare to see play.

[chunk]

i am no longer going to buy tickets because the good bands are either playing at coachella already or are not playing there at all. besides hold steady. the end.

p.s.

and smoosh.

[chunk]

p.p.s.

beastie boys are embarrassingly bad.

[codytwo]

Coachella Jr, meaning a lot of bands that are touring at the time will be there. And Full on Idle will agree with me that the Beastie Boys are in fact, embarrassingly good. I probably wouldn't drive up from L.A. to see Sasquatch, but only an idiot would do that. Have fun in the smog while I'm puking my guts out to Brass Monkey. In a good way.

smoosh... you've got to be kidding me.

[Alchemy]

I love the Polyphonic Spree. They remind me of Christmas.

[chunk]

smoosh... you've got to be kidding me.

they will not be at coachella and i want to see them. i think the few songs i know of them are good. cute good, of course. you disagree?

i figured this will be the only time i get to see them. i missed the one at the knitting factory.

[chunk]

bb are good in a nostalgic, objectifying sort of way.

and speak for yourself. dont hide under others skirts.

[MarkO]

Special Announcement coming Tuesday from Sasquatch ........

Hmmmm. Wonder what that means ?

[ghettojournalist]

Beastie Boys can still put on a good show.
i can't wait to hear what they have in store for the new album.
