Quick topic for this Thursday: What's the most Sasquatch band? The most Bonnaroo band is obviously My Morning Jacket, but every other festival is less clear. To consider:
1. Does frequent lineup appearances = Most? Neko Case is the most frequent Sasquatch artist, but that doesn't seem right. 2. What about geography? Should a more local band be considered over a less local one? I argue yes. 3. Does a historical connection help? Jane's Addiction would have to be considered for Most Lollapalooza Band, but I would argue for the Red Hot Chili Peppers: huge and yet somehow still somewhat respectable, from the Nineties, good mass appeal and could probably headline Lolla every year without anyone raising an eyebrow.
For the topic question, I think the answer is Modest Mouse. Relatively local in terms of region, popular but not overly so, and has played a few memorable sets in the past few years at the 'Squatch.

If Neko Case was from the area, I'd say she'd be a lock. However I think it's a tossup between Death Cab and MM since both have made four Sasquatch appearances.

MGMT.
No song has been played more in the campgrounds than 'Kids'.

Flaming Lips. They play every other year, but unlike Modest Mouse, they've only sucked once.
