Indie fest from your armchair
On Memorial Day weekend, just outside Seattle, 45 top indie musical acts showed off their talents at the Sasquatch Music Festival. The good people at National Public Radio were there, recording it for our listening pleasure. Veteran acts like Death Cab for Cutie, The Foo Fighters, Flaming Lips, and Wilco turn in fine sets. Brooklyn's superfunky Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings get the crowd moving, and gifted newcomers Wye Oak and the Head and the Heart lend their sweet harmonic blends.
