Well we’ve officially sprung into Spring and at the end of this month, Sasquatch Festival!  What better way to kick off Summer fest season that with the likes of Iron & Wine, (New!) Death Cab For Cutie, (New!) Foo Fighters, and a several other of my close personal faves!

We’ll have some staffers on the ground reporting live from the front lines but since I can’t be at two places at once I’m suggesting that you lucky Sasquatch goers go and see Wolf Parade, Old 97s, BIFFY CLYRO (seriously, I saw them do an acoustic performance a while back and it blew my mind- I plan on hitting as many U.K. and Euro-fests as I’m allowed to just to get a double dose of the Scot Rock band!), Das Racist, and one of my local L.A. faves White Arrows!

Get ready for a sun-soaked Spring into Summer weekend with a double dose of great music, and pay attention to bestnewbands.com in the next couple of weeks as we go one-on-one with a few of our Sasquatch faves in order to give you a head’s up on what to expect from the artists at one of the best fests of the year so far!

Don’t forget the SPF either- a wayward tan is the unwanted souvenir that keeps on giving.  Either way, I’ll be more than jealous if you come back with any Sasquatch related scar!  Who are YOU stoked to see at Sasquatch?!  Comment below!
