Sasquatch!: Of Montreal Amazes

By Alyssa Noel (CHARTattack) May 29, 2009 3:05 pm

May 23 I'd prefer to start my day with a Rolling Rock than Starbucks. Cracking the former before noon indicates you're going to spend a day in the blistering heat enjoying a magical spread of the biggest buzz bands of the year. Pouring the latter into your mug means you're back at your desk cranking out doomsday copy in the moderately warm...

Sasquatch 2008 Day Two

By Quinn Omori (CHARTattack) May 29, 2008 11:30 am

I started day two of the Sasquatch! Music Festival with an early afternoon set by Cold War Kids. Like Beirut the day before, the Kids' music is probably better suited to something a touch smaller and a touch darker than the sprawling Sasquatch main stage, but it was hard to deny the impact of Nathan Willett's soulful wail on "Hang Me Up To...

Sasquatch 2008 Day Three

By Quinn Omori (CHARTattack) May 29, 2008 11:00 am

If there was a better way to kick off day three of the Sasquatch! Music Festival than a main stage set from The Hives, I'd love to know what it was. I made it inside the gates for the final day of the festival as the band were ripping through a blistering version of "Main Offender." It only took the song's two-and-a-half odd minutes to...

Sasquatch 2008 Day One

By Quinn Omori (CHARTattack) May 28, 2008 2:00 pm

For the first time in it's seven-year history, the Sasquatch Music Festival stretched over a full three days. Memorial Day might not sound like an appropriate excuse to party, but with nearly 100 artists and comedians sharing three stages, our American neighbours and hosts did a fine job of demonstrating how to properly celebrate a long weekend...

Sasquatch 2006 Day One

By Trevor Hargreaves (CHARTattack) May 31, 2006 3:30 pm

The fifth Sasquatch! Music Festival was bigger and better than ever. This year's event at the legendary Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington was an expanded three-day extravaganza of cutting-edge music, overpriced food and drinks, and a whole lot of fun. The festival has always sported a lineup of carefully chosen acts, but this year was truly...

Sasquatch 2006 Day Three

By Trevor Hargreaves (CHARTattack) May 31, 2006 2:34 pm

While sleeping off the post-concert merriment from the night before, I woke up at my campsite around 9 a.m. to a booming Death Cab For Cutie soundcheck of the song "New Year." I figured this had to be a good omen. Several hours later, I made my way from campsite to main stage and caught an awesome set by Nada Surf. Matthew Caws got...

Sasquatch 2006 Day Two

By Trevor Hargreaves (CHARTattack) May 31, 2006 2:24 pm

Things got off to a great start with a performance by Rogue Wave, albeit a sparsely-attended one. Zack Rogue and co. did a fine job showering the venue with their harmonic pop goodness and the place quickly began to fill up as they burst into an awesome version of "Medicine Ball." By the time they kicked into "Bird On A Wire"...

Sasquatch! 2011 Is Sold Out, Burn On You

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 16, 2011 2:43 pm

If you were hoping to attend this year's Sasquatch! Music Festival... you're SOL, my friend. You probably should have got tickets when you had the chance... 'cause now you can't. Sasquatch! sold out in four days this year, which wasn't as fast as Coachella, but it's still pretty damn impressive. This year's Sasquatch! Music Festival will be...
