Tuesday, January 11th, 2011
$35 GA, $55 Balcony Reserved

Tricky

Tricky likes his fans, in a drug induced sort of way. If you are interested in awkward man hugs with shirtless sweaty dudes, it only costs $23.

Rockapella

Barry Cole (or B. Cole as I like to call him) to this day easily has the best bass voice I've heard. Born it Portland, he is no longer a member of the band, but it's worth pointing out. Listen to the first couple seconds of "Zombie Jamborie," and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Then again, you've probably heard of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, so this band isn't new to you. I've been listening to them since grade school as well.

J. Cole

Or Jermaine Cole as I like to call him. Wait, I'm getting confused again. This guy sings hip hop, right? Does he have a deep voice?

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band

I'll still give this band credit for being available at the last second for Sasquatch 2010, and a great replacement at that (since I find the act they replaced thoroughly annoying). Sure it's like not being invited to an exclusive party, then sitting at home by the phone waiting in case they change their mind, but still.

I like their sound, they're probably just missing a couple catchy tunes to hit it big. This could be a good thing or a bad thing?
