Sasquatch 2013, Day 4: Disclosure

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 28, 2013

I had not expected to even make it to Disclosure at the El Chupacabra tent. And I never would have known what to expect from then electronic-music-genius brothers if I hadn’t seen the video or “Control feat.Ria Ritchie”, which is one of several songs featuring amazing guest vocals that they two have released from theirRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 4: Dirty Projectors, Toro y Moi & Tig Notaro

By KEXP | Published: May 28, 2013

by Tara Kelly Kearns Well, it finally happened. The rain that had teased and threatened for the last few days finally came and reminded everyone just exactly what the PNW is all about. That didn’t deter anyone, however, and the music played on even through the wet and the cold. Fortunately, my first event ofRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 4: Chvrches

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 27, 2013

If Killer Mike had my favorite show at Sasquatch, Chvrches gets to take favorite pop show of the weekend. Where their albums are already pretty perfect in the realm of pop - the live performance blew them out of the water. Lauren Mayberry’s vocals are so close to sweet that it’s almost bitter - sheRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 3: Earl Sweatshirt

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 27, 2013

I might not have gotten on the Odd Future bandwagon back when it began, but that doesn’t mean I was going to miss Earl Sweatshirt this year at Sasquatch. He took stage simply - his black Supreme sweatshirt (hood up of course), OF DJ Syd backing him up close behind. Lucky for the audience (“HeyRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 3: Killer Mike

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 27, 2013

So I might have been ranting about various shows this weekend being the best shows I saw - but here’s the thing. Yes, they were amazing performances by talented musicians, but Killer Mike’s set at the Yeti stage topped all of them. There is something about witnessing a brilliant musician finally receiving the full blownRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 3: DIIV

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 27, 2013

At around 3 o’clock, I made my way to the fairly full audience of the Bigfoot stage to catch Cole Smith’s (of Beach Fossils) project DIIV. Little did I know I was in for one of the more sun drunk performances I would see - and I mean that in the best and most innocentRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 3: Primus, Grimes, Mumford, Elvis and more

By KEXP | Published: May 27, 2013

by Tara Kelly Kearns The third morning of Sasquatch looked like it might be the day of rain. But after only a few sprinkles in the morning, the sun and clouds stayed their dry course and danced the day away. The few people that woke up and got it together in time were able toRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 3: El-P

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 27, 2013

As clouds began to gather (though they wouldn’t actually be super ominous until Earl Sweatshirts set) El-P took stage to a large audience totally ready to get down with the talented east coast rapper. He would later be called a brother to Killer Mike - and his ability to get the crowd moving whether itRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 3: Fang Island

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 26, 2013

Is it weird that I actually noticed that singer Jason Bartell was wearing the same star studded shirt today at Sasquatch that he was wearing during Fang Island‘s session in 2010 at KEXP? I only notice because that’s one way I think of their music - the sincerity of their power chord power stance performancesRead more...

Sasquatch 2013, Day 2: Tame Impala

By Katherine Humphreys | Published: May 26, 2013

Yes, we waited a long time, we waited through an audience rendition of “Oh Canada”, we waited through rumors of the show being canceled. Yes, this was the band so many people had said was the one band they really needed (not wanted) to see this weekend. Yes, I actually walked to the wrong stageRead more...
