So I was browsing the main sasquatch site and reading the blurbs they have for each band and got to the Seattle Rock Orchestra and got really curious. The last sentence was what got me excited: " SRO recently presented a tribute to David Bowie at the Moore Theatre, and will be reprising their tribute to the Arcade Fire's 'Funeral' at Sasquatch 2010." This is a full orchestra that is covering Funeral, but is listed last on the lineup after the comedians. With how big this group seems to be, I haven't heard of any talk about their performance at sasq'10.
So I guess my main points of discussion are where people think that they will play this Funeral tribute and how good will it be? I can't see them playing during the day because it sounds like a lot of people would check it out. But at the same time I can't place them in between the other listed bands.

FYI, I believe they're on the bottom of the list because they were added after the initial lineup.

But they're still not bigger than New Pornographers, Mountain Goats, Dr. Dog, or Camera Obscura, and there are only so many evening sets to go around on a given stage. I really think the only reason they're on the Wookie Bigfoot stage is because they're too big (person-wise) for the Yeti Yeti, and that sets them up the Owl City Memorial Timeslot on Monday.

I watched a couple videos, and I must say, I'm disappointed they had vocals. An orchestra playing Funeral sounds pretty awesome on paper, but it sounded more like a cover band with the vocals. If I wasn't such a fan of Funeral, the vocals might not have bothered me as much.
It's cool they will be there. I would love to wander by just to see that many people on stage, and check out a couple songs. I think they could be Sasquatch mainstays in the future, playing renditions of classic albums, and I hope they do. But for this one, I'd rather hear an instrumental.

I'm worried about a conflict with The Heavy. It's hard enough to make it into the festival for the first acts, and now there will likely be two I want to see playing at the same time! I'll probably check out SRO on Bigfoot on the way in, and then head to main stage to see The Heavy. The Heavy rocks!

No conflict there at all...
The Heavy - 12:00
SRO - 2:20

Sweet, I see that now. I also see a conflict between SRO (2:20 BF) and The Temper Trap (1:55 Main)! Balls! This stuff is unavoidable though.
Also, I was hoping to check out Jaguar Love (12:00 BF) and The Heavy (12:00 Main) but I think the latter wins. This doesn't belong in this thread does it...
