So, listen up. I know I’m pretty far behind on getting this post to you, but life is busy, y’all. My superpowers, regrettably, don’t include blogging. All things considered, my first Sasquatch experience was pretty amazing. Even though I was attending the actual festival alone, I had some co-pilots for the trip. Boyfriend and the [...]

Probably. I don’t usually rely on Facebook as a reliable source of information in the first place, so when I saw posts starting to pop up about a free Dave Matthews Band concert, I was astounded and skeptical. Yeah, you read that correctly. Rumors are quickly spreading about Dave Matthews, Spearhead, Michael Franti, and Slightly [...]

For the first time, I’m actually committing to a music festival. I feel a little bit guilty that I’ve lived this close to The Gorge my entire life and have never seen a live show there. I’ve come very close many times, but have never quite made it. For those of you that don’t know, [...]

There are times when I do things that seem reckless and spontaneous, defying my own good sense. October 7, 2009 was one of those times. Maserati, Victory Smokes, and recently (sort-of) reunited Missoula rockers The Hermans were playing a late show at The Palace. I wanted to go. Really bad. It was a Wednesday night, [...]

Well, it’s better late than never, right? The concert itself was amidst a massive amount of personal chaos, and I suppose I’m just carrying on the tradition of poor planning by posting this recap so late. Isaac Brock said a lot of things. Things that I either don’t remember, or had no idea what the [...]

Mr. Manson… … this is my friend, Missoula. I understand you will be going on your first date September 1st. Interesting… I was going to write you a haiku, but it kept coming out weird. And gothy. And was wearing red lipstick. I just don’t understand it… it used to be such a nice little [...]

For those of you that are wondering, I went. I had a great time. I drank too much. It. Was. Awesome. The Decemberists rocked Missoula with their new album The Hazards of Love in its entirety, which  carefully infused their melodic, quirky sound with a a harder rock overtone. The album itself is fascinating both [...]

After what felt like every odd playing against me to make the trip over the mountains to Spokane, I found myself among the crowd at the sold-out Death Cab For Cutie show at McCarthy Athletic Center last Friday. The entire venue was General Admission seating, which usually means I try to show up as close [...]

Sasquatch just keeps getting better and better. I silently (ok sometimes not so silently) moped about missing Arcade Fire when they were there two summers ago, and grumbled about not getting tickets in time last year. I kept the faith, though, and it looks like my patience paid off. This years line-up is a doozie. [...]

… The Golden Dogs In all fairness, this isn’t a new band. They are, however, new to me. In fact, the song that I’m going to share with you, “Never Meant Any Harm” is from 2006. The Canadian group hasn’t released much since then. I won’t hold it against them, though. It’s a very infectious [...]
