In part 2 of our Sasquatch! guide, I will cover two more bands that you can't miss when partaking in the festival's awesomeness.

This Austin based group has been around since 2001, but has always seemed to fly under the radar. Their latest studio album, entitled "Animal Joy," was released in February and I believe it is their best effort yet. The group takes their instruments and creates layers and textures that most of us would never dream of. The force with which lead singer Jonathan Meiburg delivers the lyrics; combined with his emphasis on pronunciation takes the instrumentals to a whole other level. This will be a set to check out, if for no other reason than to marvel at how they are recreating the sounds from the record.

Mark Lanegan Band
Mark Lanegan has been making music since the early 90s; when he was the front man of the grunge band 'The Screaming Trees.' "Blues Funeral," his latest solo effort, is simultaneously an ode to his grunge roots as well as a tad blues and jazz infused. Lanegan's unmistakable deep, raspy voice is at the forefront of this record. It feels like a downplayed, slow, methodical journey through its creator's mind. The performance is sure to be a good ole-fashioned rock and roll show. Plus, if he throws in the track Harborview Hospital you can feel that sense of pride that comes with knowing the tune was created in the Pacific Northwest, and you actually know the place he is referencing.
