Music should be for everyone and we want to help you find the good stuff.
As a newcomer to the Sasquatch Music Festival, and perhaps one of the more *ahem* mature goers, I know I need a pre-party-plan to help me maneuver the experience for maximum fun. This will include a list of necessities, schedule of events, and also tips for keeping cool during the hot and eventful … [Read more...]
Having just released a gorgeous new album, Hummingbird (out now), Local Natives graced the Neptune's stage this last Friday and Monday bringing fresh material to two sold-out, fanatic audiences. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Local Natives in spring of 2010. It was the perfect kind of … [Read more...]
Last year's Sasquatch was my first experience writing/shooting for IRW, and while I did get a lot of day-time reviews and interviews up, we just couldn't manage to get my big gallery up in the madness of the moment. Apparently sifting through 5,000 photos and editing a handful takes some time … [Read more...]
Wednesday evening ended up with an invigorating, last minute assignment to cover Alt-J (∆) and Grouplove at the Moore Theater. British band, Alt-J, created a very soothing environment with beautifully swelling melodies, lovely harmonies and a pulsing baseline that got the crowd gently throbbing … [Read more...]
I was going to try to explain what it was like shooting a festival inside and out. How it's one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever encountered and despite the (at most) ten hours sleep over four days, dehydration, blisters and endless editing I always look forward to the next … [Read more...]

I've finally come up for a bit of air and wanted to drop some evidence of the incredible time I'm having. Megan has mentioned (or will soon be … [Read more...]
The morning got off to a great start. It was way more laid-back than I was anticipating, so that made me one happy gal. I started my day with Honey Honey; What a sweet band. The guitarist had such a kind face and gave me one of those ‘I see you, I appreciate you, and thank you for being … [Read more...]
It’s finally here… my departure date for the beautiful Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. I will be there from noon Friday to 11:30pm on Monday for the 10 year old Sasquatch! Music Festival! This has always been one of my favorite regional music festivals with a huge selection of 132 … [Read more...]
Sometimes kids say the stupidest things! Wait, let me explain what I mean by that. I saw The Drums play Sasquatch last year, and they were great. The crowd was full of dumb-ass kids with stupid “Indian headdresses” on, but that wasn’t The Drums' fault. So as I am walking out at the end of … [Read more...]
There's been a lot of chatter around Coachella's decision to spread the festival over two weekends with identical lineups. It does seem a bit odd, but business-wise it's sort of ingenious. It's obviously become popular enough for two weekends of shows. It introduces another weekend of paying … [Read more...]
