A hot sun is shining down through mostly blue skies, revealing sweeping views of the spectacular Columbia River Gorge from which this venue takes its name. Sasquatch 2015 is officially getting underway, and tens of thousands of music fans are streaming in from far and wide today to catch bands like Thunderpussy, Jungle, SISTERS, The New Pornographers, Gogol Bordello, Of Monsters and Men (fresh from their exclusive, intimate show on Thursday for KEXP supporters at Columbia City Theater), Little Dragon, Sleater-Kinney, and more! This is a four day marathon, but with so many great bands on the first day alone, we will likely be sprinting from stage to stage a fair amount. Stay tuned for photos and show reviews throughout the weekend.
Fire up your Winnebagos and ready your best port-a-potty stance because it’s that time of the year again kids... give it up for Sasquatch!
