Unless you live under a rock like Patrick from Sponge Bob Square Pants, you've probably already seen the line-up for this years Sasquatch! festival. Perhaps you read about it on your friends facebook wall or recognized the tweets of "OMG jack white" & "I'll be abroad for memorial day #FML" and put the pieces together (nice job Sherlock).  Either way It seemed as if people couldn't contain themselves last night about how excited they were for this years party at The Gorge. It turns out the staff here at Puget Playlist isn't any different, go figure. However, instead of just regurgitated all the same names of the artist that were announced (you can do that here), we've each highlighted ONE particular artist we're excited to see. enjoy

1. Alex -  Childish Gambino - Nice to see some good hip-hop in there. It's a tough choice between CG & the Roots.


2. Bill - Deer Tick - I never pass up an opportunity to see John McCauley. They craft some of the most funny & insightful alt-country-folk-rock around. It's sincere, but with lots of laughs.




3. Brad - Beck - never seen him before so his set will be a great throwback to my teenage years. Can you say "Loser"?




4. Jon - comedian John Mulaney - He is an astute pop-culture maven, and he has some hilarious jokes about Ice-T in Law and Order SVU





5. Gabby - Mogwai - Post instrumental rock at its finest (sorry Explosions in the Sky)





6. Stephen -  tUnE-yArDs - What's the business, yeah! Merrill Garbus is a mad scientist with here eccentric use of drum loops, layers of ukulele, & one hell of a voice. What's the business indeed.




7. Joey - Jack White - The man, the myth, the legend himself. Not many musicians have had a career like Mr. White. Very excited to hear some of his new solo stuff.






8. Tarin - araabmuzik - Abraham Orellana, the Sri-Lankan producer behind AraabMuzik, has been re-appropriating cheesy trance with magnificent results.
