Sasquatch! 2009: Bishop Allen, Blitzen Trapper, The Dutchess and the Duke

Bishop Allen:

Bishop Allen played a short set of peppy, collegiate indie pop. If McSweeney's had a record label, this is the kind of music they would release. The band had tons of energy, which was infectious and much needed mid-afternoon on the last day of a three-day festival. They also win for having a marimba on stage.

Blitzen Trapper:


If you're one of those people who loves classic rock radio and feels like there's no good new music, Blitzen Trapper, who sounded like they were playing the 1973 edition of Sasquatch!, might change your mind. This is another band that was probably just slightly too big to play a sidestage.

The Dutchess and the Duke:

Speaking of bands who wear their classic rock influences on their sleeves, the Dutchess and the Duke sound like a slightly twangier version of the Rolling Stones circa "Mother's Little Helper." They make a lot of noise considering their only percussion is a tambourine and a floor tom.
