Bungy's Campaign Guide To Sasquatch 2012
Here is where I tell you how to make the most of Sasquatch for all
three of you who will read this. The lineup is pretty dull compared to
last year in my opinion, but I am still very excited. List assumes you
don't have shitsandwich taste in music and are one of those
douchebags who follow the bleep bloop artists around dancing all
weekend. |
| 1 |  | FRIDAY
Album
Friday is going to be so boring compared to last year. Last year in just a few hours
you had the chance to see Rival Schools, Biffy Clyro, The Bronx, Against Me!, and
Foo Fighters. This year the punkest bands are Ted Leo, Wild Flag and Dum Dum
Girls. Fuck the organizers for not catering directly to my taste. Get there early to
see the first band play at 4. Seriously, don't stumble into the venue from the
campground drunk, just in time to see Of Monsters and Men. Stumble into the
venue from the campground drunk at 3:30 so you can check out Sean Wheeler
and Zander Schloss, who used to be in the fucking Circle Jerks. The songs I checked
out by them were solid soulful folk songs. Here's my tentative schedule: |
| 2 |  | Sean Wheeler and Zander Schloss
|
| 3 | | Allen Stone
Album
not in the db either. You will be sick of indie folk/pop artists before the weekend's
over. Go ahead and pass on Yellow Ostrich and honeyhoney and check out this
special talent. |
| 4 |  | Of Monsters and Men
My Head is an Animal
to be honest I couldn't get into their new album very much, though I'd like to be
present for that catchy chorus with the horn part in "Little Talks". Your other option is
James McCarthy. I shit you not this guy will play mellow rock music with vocals, drums
and guitars. |
| 5 |  | Polica
Give You the Ghost
auto-tuned/female fronted/indie/r&b/pop with a badass rhythm section. |
| 6 |  | Santigold
Master of my make-believe
this should be fun |
| 7 |  | Mark Lanegan
Blues Funeral
this over Starfucker unless I get bored. Screaming Trees vocalist, sort of a local
guy |
| 8 |  | Girl Talk
All Day
PAAARRTTTTYYYYY. You can't go wrong with seeing Beats Antique though either, a
rare combination of Hip-hop/tribal shit/bellydancing. |
| 9 |  | Explosions in the Sky
The Rescue
this album title isn't a fucking sentence so I'll type this one out instead. I'd like to
see these dudes do a song or two |
| 10 |  | Pretty Lights
Filling up the City Skies
Meh. should be fun |
| 11 | | SATURDAY
Album
From 2-5 there will be five stages being used basically at once, which will be fine
for all the concert-goers that hate music. The overlap between Metric, tuneyards,
st. vincent and the shins sucks. Tuneyards should be a really unique set. The night
ending with 3 hours of Jack White and The Roots is going to be awesome though. |
| 12 | | Pickwick
Album
see these guys instead of Reptar, because this band isn't Reptar. Reptar is what
Vampire Weekend would sound like if they weren't just annoying but actively
engaged in a cause to make bad annoying music. |
| 13 | | Pete Holmes?
The comedians are pretty lame this year, I think Pete Holmes is definitely one of
the better ones though. I Break Horses are playing at the same time though and
they're named after a Smog song and Smog is fucking awesome. |
| 14 | | Rob Delaney
Another comedian while Blitzen Trapper plays on the main stage. This is actually a
good time to take a food break and see if this guy is funny and then sit on the grass
and eat and listen to Blitzen Trapper or Craft Spells. |
| 15 |  | Alabama Shakes
Boys & Girls
old school rock, their new album is actually really fun to listen to, Led Zep style |
| 16 |  | The Civil Wars
Barton Hollow
might miss this set for the same reason I missed Iron and Wine's set last year. It's
probably going to be boring as shit. I really like the music, just not 150 yards away,
let me know when their next club show is, this duo is meant for intimacy. |
| 17 |  | Kurt Vile
Smoke Ring for my Halo
easy choice, I love this guy's style |
| 18 |  | Dum Dum Girls
Only in Dreams
I've actually been listening to this band a bunch lately, pretty stoked. |
| 19 |  | Childish Gambino
Camp
Will probably sit on the grass above the main stage and see how Glover handles a
massive Sasquatch crowd until Metric performs. Can't stand this album. |
| 20 |  | Metric
Fantasies
whoo! |
| 21 |  | tune-yards
w h o k i l l
not sure if I want to trek up the hill and lose my spot for the band that got me
into indie whatever music in the first place |
| 22 |  | The Shins
Port of Morrow
I'll be singing along hard |
| 23 |  | St. Vincent
Strange Mercy
will have to miss most of this which blows I loved Strange Mercy |
| 24 |  | Jack White
Blunderbuss
I peeked at his recent set lists, there's a lot of raconteurs/white stripes songs in
there. I'm excited |
| 25 |  | The roots
undun
these guys are playing until 1:00. the next morning will blow hard |
| 26 | | SUNDAY
Album
asdfasdfasdfasdf |
| 27 | | The Staves
Album |
| 28 | | Graffiti6
Album
the songs I heard sounded sweet. Dale Earnhardt JR JR are playing on the main
stage, but I'm not much of a fan. |
| 29 |  | Trampled by Turtles
Duluth
these guys are supposed to be awesome live |
| 30 |  | Howlin Rain
The Russion Wilds
talented musicians that overindulge on the psychedelic/progressive aspects.
Hopefully they play "strange thunder" check it out on spotify that song rules |
| 31 | | Todd Barry
Album
in my opinion he's a pretty mediocre comedian, but the other bands playing right
now are boring. lame |
| 32 |  | Blind Pilot
We are the Tide
indie folk stuff. These guys are much better than most though |
| 33 |  | The War on Drugs
Slave Ambient
awesome band |
| 34 |  | Hey Rosetta!
Seeds
Really looking forward to this one |
| 35 |  | Deer Tick
The Black Dirt Sessions
seems like a good way to pass the time before M. Ward |
| 36 |  | M. Ward
Transistor Radio |
| 37 |  | Wild Flag
Wild Flag
a catchy post punk, female fronted, dino jr. or something. This band rules |
| 38 |  | We Are Augustines
Rise ye Sunken Ships
these guys do the emotional indie folk thing really well like Hey Rosetta! and
Frightened Rabbit. The Head and the Heart are also playing and are fantastic live,
but I've seen them a couple times. See them if you haven't. |
| 39 |  | The Walkmen
Lisbon
reery good |
| 40 |  | Zola Jesus
Conatus |
| 41 |  | Beirut

to the stars |
| 44 | | MONDAY

bands I came for |

Helpful pro hints and advice tips: #1. Fry your brain. When you are standing behind
the guy dancing with his eyes closed or in front of the guy insisting on rubbing your
shoulders you will wish you were them. #2. Don't talk to the Canadians. Don't even
make eye contact. #3. Drink water. For God's sake if I have to carry you out of the
pit to get medical attention because you passed out, you are going to die in the pit.
#4. Bring a goddamn jacket or something. Highs in the 70's and lows in like the
40's or 50's and it will be a little windy. Did you know that or did you need to bring
your fucking mom with you? #5. If you see the guy wearing a gray Mountain Goats
tee with an octopus on it. He is extremely poor but too shy to beg for change, go
ahead and share what you have. #6. I'm not really an asshole |
