WatchOzomatli, another L.A. band, had the crowd in a frenzy with their mix of latin rhythms, hip-hop beats and funk.
Check out interviews, photos and videos from Saturday at the Sasquatch Music Festival: http://ubsasquatchfest.tumblr.com/
WatchMy interview with them unfortunately fell through but they were great live any way. This L.A. band has become a recent favorite of mine.
WatchBeirut on the main stage just before I interviewed 4 of the members. Turns out the bassist was born in Walla Walla and still has family in Pendleton, Ore.
WatchM.I.A on the main stage after she invited the crowd to join her on stage. About 100 or so made on stage.
WatchQuick clip of the Breeders playing on the Wookie Stage at the same time Modest Mouse was playing on the main stage. The Deal twins were loose nonetheless and seemed to be having fun playing in front of a very receptive and sizeable crowd.
