I've never heard of them and the write up on the website does not do much to explain them or their style...tried to find them on Pitchfork and Wikipedia and nothing. Went to the website and listened to a couple of tracks...ok...tonnes of instruments and layers. they are like yeasayer mixed with some songwriting like the guy from fun. in my opinion, not as amazing blend as that sounds. has some good ideas though and definitely warrants watching unless an actual conflict.

On their myspace page it says their set is at 1pm... I'm pretty sure it won't conflict with much of anything... at the same time, I might still be drinking at my campsite... that counts as a conflict, right?

^ That is surely considered a conflict!

Dawes is on the "Bigfoot" stage. What's this? I know Sasquatch, Wookie, Yeti, and Rumpus Room, but what's this Bigfoot stage?

I was just posing the same question... They are the only act announced on said stage at this time too...

Awesome! They actually stayed at my house on their latest tour to Charleston. Glad to see these guys on the lineup.

it's probably a small stage that will just have a couple small acts on it.. kinda like that one small stage at outside lands when i was there a couple years ago. hopefully it doesn't throw too many conflicting curveballs

This is defiantely an interesting development. Could be the reason why the sched has yet to be released. Also happy about the Dawes...they were cool on Craig Ferguson.

everytime i see a new thread i get excited. but it's just a discussion we already had going. i'm confirming that it is very silly.
i wish deer tick was still touring with dr dog at the time, because then MG&V could play.

I was wondering what the Bigfoot stage was all about. I am playing with the Seattle Rock Orchestra on Monday and just saw that we're playing on that stage. We're most all accoustic (violins, violas, cellos....) backing up a band, so it should be interesting to see what this is all about. I just wonder, how big is this stage?

Oh man! Excited to hear you guys.
But regarding your question, we have no more idea/info about this stage than you do. We're all clueless here.

And this makes me wonder if much more bands got moved there. Gonna have to do some research, because I could've sworn it said before that the SRO was playing on Wookie.

Awesome that someone who's actually playing is on the boards... Secondly... I'm pretty excited to see the Seattle rock Orchestra... Thirdly... The best guess so far is that the Green Stage is a smaller stage suited best for acoustic type sets. Regardless it should be interesting.

I just noticed that both The Mountain Goats and The Tallest Man On Earth are now playing the Bigfoot Stage. I didn't have time to look at the other bands, but I imagine there are plenty others moving.

I wonder if this means that more bands are to be added to the Wookie stage in place of these bands being moved to the Bigfoot, or, maybe they decided to rename the Wookie and are just in the process of updating the site?
