I thought I was the only one. Saw her open for Xiu Xiu at the Urban Lounge in SLC a few months prior to Sasquatch 2010. I had no idea who or what a Tune-Yards was. I think I can vouch for the rest of the crowd that eveneing when I say that I was as frightened as I was blown away.

I don't think I've ever heard a white lady with a voice like Merrill from Tune-Yards. It's rather powerful and soulful.

Probably the worst conflict for me all weekend is if I'll stay for all of Metric's set and miss about 15-20 minutes of Tune-Yards, or leave Metric 20 minutes early to catch the start of Tune-Yards. I can't figure that one out yet. I'm leaning towards staying for all of Metric.

So her set opening for St. Vincent was pretty fun, but after watching her create one beat with her loop pedals, you wish she just had a god damn drummer. It takes so long to set up each song. But she closed by inviting four little kids to stage and they danced during her last song, and one girl was killing it. I think the way she builds the loops is really cool and something would definitely be lost if she added a drummer. It's not quite Jamie Lidell level (the gold standard of live loop construction) but it's still fun to watch. BTW, what's that guy doing? He should put out another album
