This year’s Sasquatch! Music Festival at The Gorge Amphitheatre can best be summarized in one word: badass. Every artist and band I watched gave it their all, especially Mad Rad, Chromeo, Robyn, Yeasayer, Skrillex and Major Lazer.

I’m still recovering from the four-day festival (and trying not to drown in all my final exams and papers) but BestNewBands.com readers can expect reviews and photos from the aforementioned artists, as well as Das Racist, Local Natives, Rodrigo Y Gabriela and many more. For now, I’ll leave you with a Youtube video of my favorite Sasquatch! performance, Major Lazer’s “Shake, Shake Senora”/”Pon De Floor” mash-up. Enjoy!
