Sweet. I'm pretty excited for the DMB festival actually, even though they haven't released the whole line-up. The Roots, Gogol Bordello, Blind Pilot, Moondoggies. Hell, even HG's favorite band is there, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Plus a DMB set every night, Dave and Tim Reynolds acoustic sets, and much more. I'm buying my ticket Monday. I hope they add a couple more bands that I really like and I will be one happy camper on Labor Dave Weekend.
I like Elbow, but they only have one song I really LOVE. I used that time to go back to camp and refuel and refresh for the rest of the night. From what I've heard about their performance, I kind of regret it.
Everyone says they are either awful or amazing. Some people say the same thing about Animal Collective. Often the same people, come to think of it. I wouldn't miss their Sasquatch set for anything, Treats is one of the best records of the last several years.
Seems like you called that pretty well. I guess I'll have do judge for myself.
I do like Treats, its great, but I dont know if I would call it one of the best albums in several years. I could see them being pretty good live, so here's hoping.
Sleigh Bells are so great. I only caught a couple songs at coachella and they sounded great. I am seeing them about a week before sasquatch and then definitely again at sasquatch. Really excited.
And I agree, Treats is one of my favorite albums from the last little while.
