If you are heading to the Sasquatch music festival in may… you are one lucky duck. The list of bands and artists taking part is once again pretty strong.
My wife Coral will be heading to the festival so I was trolling the website looking at the bands to see which ones I should try and implore her to check out. I saw that a band that Coral really loves, Electric Guest is playing. How fun! (oh and fun.)
Electric Guest – “This Head I Hold”

Must be a lot of the right hype behind this LA band as they have maybe 3 songs for download on iTunes? And another you get for free if you give them an email address.
Coral jams out a lot of Alt Nation on XM and they often get insight into the next pet-project of the Industrial Record Complex. Regardless… super fun and catchy jam.
Poking around some more, and I heard the Canadian dark electro pop band Purity Ring. One half of the band (Megan James) is from Edmonton and now lives in Halifax. The other half (Corin Roddick) lives in Montreal.
Have a listen to this.

I was reading the interview they had with Pitchfork. I love how the interviewer was all, “you music is so deep and dark…” and Corin just basically says, “yeah I listen to a lot of Soulja Boy.”

I lifted this picture from the Frightened Rabbit twitter feed. It seems the Scottish lads are recording some new tunes. More than that, I just think the picture looks cool.
This is my amp. I am still learning how it goes and what makes it work. For being so small… it wails pretty good.
Go with yourself.
