[live] Wolf Parade @ Sasquatch! 2011

Wolf Parade make their Sasquatch! debut

For those who couldn't make it out to The Gorge in George, Washington, this Memorial Day weekend, you can still hear Wolf Parade's 2011 Sasquatch! performance over at NPR (here). The show is one of two scheduled concerts to be played this year after the band announced its indefinite hiatus back in November. Hopefully, this is just a temporary break while the band members focus on their other musical projects.

But anyway, check out the 9-song set list of their show - it's practically a Wolf Parade "Greatest Hits" collection. Hearing these live had to have been awesome.

[tour dates] Local Natives - US Winter Tour

Local Natives Commence US Tour

Beginning this month, Local Natives will kick off their US winter tour in support of their fabulous debut album Gorilla Manor. With their first stop at SXSW, the band will eventually make their way up to the Pacific Northwest in May. Sadly, the only show they'll be playing in the Seattle area is Sasquatch!, which is still cool, but I think I'd much rather see them at a venue like the Crocodile (just my opinion). Hopefully they'll do a secret show or a record store appearance when they're in the area. We'll just have to wait and see. More dates posted below.

If you still haven't listened to Gorilla Manor, check it out below. Lately, I just can't get enough play out of this record - it's so good.
