entre les trous de la mémoire

Many of my favs are coming to WA, but sadly they are scattered on different dates. And Quincy is just kind of far, so we will see... Anyways, this is still very exciting news!! I need to post this just so you guys know, and think you might be interested...c'mon, how can you not be interested? These are some amazing musicians ;)

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, 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.

There are of course many local bands represented at the three-day fest, including Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, The Dutchess & The Duke, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, The Pica Beats, and Vince Mira.

And don't forget about the comedy stage! So far this year, the comedy lineup includes Zach Galifiankas, Demetri Martin, Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job, Todd Barry, Jon Benjamin, God's Pottery, and the People's Republic of Komedy.

Tickets go on sale February 28th at 10 a.m., when you can get them on the (relative) cheap: a three-day pass goes for $154.50 and single-day tickets go for $56.50 through Sunday, March 1st at midnight.
