So far, Portland, Oregon's oddly named Point Juncture, WA has been my favorite band I've seen at the festival so far. I'd never heard their music until our car ride on the way up, and I'm really glad I took the time to see their whole set. Thier set was on the Yeti Stage, the smallest at Sasquatch, and was comparitively sparsely attended. This means that I was easily able to come right to the front of the stage--what a treat! These four talented multi-instrumentalists switched around their instruments, ranging from standard guitars, keys, drums, and bass to bells, trumpet and various percussion, on nearly every song, and successfully brought together elements of such loved bands as Stereolab, Sonic Youth, and Yo La Tengo into a sound that was distinct, pretty, noisy, and well polished. They said they were just wrapping up five weeks of touring, so catch them next time they hit the road, you won't be disappointed. As soon as I get home, I'm buying everything I can find by them, and if this discovery alone were the only thing to come of this adventure, it would be well worth it. Yay for finding awesome new bands!

I can't stand John in the Morning. He talks about his kid too much and has a tendency to pimp his pet bands way too much. When Troy or Rachel are on, however, I'm all ears.

Hi Alan, thanks for the write-ups. It sounds like you need to tune into KEXP for a little more music discovery. They've played Point Juncture 211 times! http://www.kexplorer.com/artist/2013
