Sasquatch Festival 2010 (Sun)

Sasquatch festival is back again this year. Compared to previous years, the lineup celebrates more indie music. I won’t be attending this year, as I wasn’t that impressed with the lineup, but for those who are going, maybe this guide can help you a bit.
Sunday, May 30th lineup is headlined by UK trip-hop act, Massive Attack. I honestly don’t know much about their music, so I can’t comment much, but my vote for “must-see” act for Sunday would have to be Tegan And Sara. They also performed at Sasquatch two years ago and put on a very fun show. And if you get a chance, how can you miss out on the Flavor Flav and Chuck D of Public Enemy?

	Caribou - Odessa Album: Swim Caribou is Daniel Snaith’s stage name. He is a Canadian, and has PhD in mathematics, and he also produces cool electronica music. I had never heard of him or his music before until his single, “Odessa” was featured as free mp3 download from iTunes. I like the vibe of his songs.
	Public Enemy - Black Is Back Album: How You Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul??? In the past five years or so, Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav, has gained more popularity from his “Flavor of Love” episodes (at least in the US), but let’s not forget that he belongs to pioneering hip-hop group, Public Enemy along with Chuck D. They have been joining some of the best festivals in the world, and proving that they can still indeed perform.
	Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness (Nightmare) /ft. MGMT & Ratatat Album: Man On The Moon: End Of Day Kid Cudi has been enjoying a decent career, after he signed onto Kanye West’s GOOD Music label. His debut album, Man on the Moon sold over 100,000 in its first week of release, and his album received great reviews from the critics. I liked that he worked with Ratatat on a couple of songs, and had MGMT featured on this track.
	Tegan And Sara - The Cure Album: Sainthood As far as the Sunday’s lineup is concerned, my favorite would have to be Canadian sister duo, Tegan And Sara. They were at Sasquatch two years ago in 2008. They are a lot of fun to watch live, as they are both good at talking to the audience and keep everyone entertained.
	LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls Album: This Is Happening LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy gets a lot of press coverage in music magazines for his producing and record label credit. Murphy is American, but his dance-electronic oriented music is more accepted to the UK audience. LCD Soundsystem’s third album, “This is Happening” was released in mid May with the lead-off single, “Drunk Girls.”
	Pavement - Frontwards Album: Quarantine The Past: The Best of Pavement Many alt-rock bands claim that Pavement was a huge influence on them. As a top 40 radio listener, I had never really heard of their music, except for the 1994 hit, “Cut Your Hair.” They disbanded in late 90s, but this spring, they decided to re-group, and they can be seen touring around.
	Massive Attack - Paradise Circus Album: Heligoland British trip-hop act Massive Attack has been around since the early 90s. They’ve released several top 10 hits in UK, but in the US, none of their songs, so far, has reached top 100. The closest hit in the US was their 1998 effort, “Teardrop.” Despite the lack of top 40 hits, they have massive support (no pun intended), and they will be headlining Sunday’s lineup.
