Minus The Bear

Minus the bear formed in Seattle, WA. I am sure you know one of their songs: Pachucha Sunrise. It is one of the top Indie MySpace songs. Right up there with “Everything is Alright” and “We Want Cunt”. They just got off of a nationwide tour, mainly touring on the west coast. Minus The Bear has released 8 albums. 4 LPS (One remix LP) along with 4 EPs.
Their newest album “Planet of Ice” is the first album recorded with new keyboardist Alex Rose.

Menos el Oso

Menos el Oso is the most popular album from Minus The Bear in my opinion. (Menos el Oso, is Minus The Bear in spanish)

I don’t like how his music is being played on techno radio stations, as well as pop and rap stations at the same time. Sure, he hit three birds with one stone, but eh, it is just too poppy-prep music for me. He has been in the spotlight for such a long time, and is one of a select few to have of gotten out of a boy band with a successful career.

He has come quite a ways away from N’Sync

I guess I have mixed opinions. I value how he got big, but I don’t value the lyrics or the style.

The Sasquatch Festival in George, Washington… One word. Freaking awesome.

Saturday: I came at about 1:00 P.M
It started at about 12:00.
I went and watched the Two Gallants, which was the main band I wanted to see on the Wookie Stage. Then I headed over to the Yeti stage, where all of the local bands played. I saw Mirah, Aqueduct, Gabriel Teodros, and Viva Voce.
After Aqueduct, I headed over to the Main Stage, to see the rest of Manu Chao and Radio Bemba, what a show they put on. Most of the people I assume didn’t speak spanish, but loved the songs. About 30 mins after, The Arcade Fire started up.
They started with ‘Black Mirror’ then a few songs later performed ‘Laika (Neighborhood #3). They closed with ‘Wake Up.

Bjork was stunning. She was so beautiful, stunning and the crowd was silent. When she started saying “Hello” You could hear the echo. It was like the scene from Forest Gump, when they are at the White House, and the rally started, and everyone was listening to Forest, you could hear the echo. The crowd was silent for Bjork. She started with a song from her new album, ‘Volta’. She played songs such as ‘The Pleasure is All Mine’, ‘Human Behavior’ and a few other new songs. At the end of her performance, the laser lights started, for ‘Destroy Independence’. It was a little remix as well, hecka big beat and cymbals, SO loud, and the lasers going everywhere! The crowd was loving it, so was I. She put on an AMAZING show.

Sunday: I arrived late, and missed The Blakes, Minus The Bear, and Patrick Wolf. But I DID get a picture of Patrick Wolf signing autographs haha. I went straight to the Yeti stage, and caught the end of Helio Sequence. I caught all of Common Market. That was one heck of a show. Great rap, great freestyles, and awesome with the crowd. Then the highlight of my day. SMOOSH! They came on after Common Market. It took about 30 minutes to get set up, considering the wind was ferocious, and just made everything sound wacky. The outfits the girls had were awesome. Asya was wearing this really cool raincoat with orange, then it had white polka dots. They played ‘Find A Way’ ‘Waiting for Something’ and finished with ‘La Pump’. In my opinion one of the best performances they have ever done. After that , I went around and saw Money Mark at the Wookie Stage. Then I sat down, at the main stage. I saw Spoon. Spoon had a really good keyboarder, and some pretty good action with the crowd. Then interpol.
Interpol really disappointed me. I don’t know what to say really. They sounded good, but no action.

The Beastie Boys!!
WHAT A PERFORMENCE. Bjork was awesome, but the beastie boys!? I didn’t really like the music to be honest, but wow. What a show. Screaming, rapping, big beats. Cheering. Lasers, lights, and huge wind gusts made everything excentrictasticsico!

What a weekend, and what a great way to spend a holiday weekend.
