NEKO CASE made it through a set @ Sasquatch 2007 + BEASTIE BOYS
DOWNLOAD: The Beastie Boys - Now Get Busy (MP3)
Reports from the 2007 Sasquatch Festival in Gorge, Washington are starting to filter in. One such report involves alt-country's corset queen Neko Case
"I'm going to see if I can make it through an entire set this year," Neko Case said when she began at 3:40 p.m. Last year, Case's Sasquatch! set was plagued by hail; this year, she got lots of sunlight, which didn't prevent her from playing Bob Dylan's "Buckets of Rain." Case's largely acoustic performance was a good mid-day balm. [Seattle Times]The picture above has been described like this:

Music Festival in George during Memorial Day Weekend. Photo by Travis HayAccording to the setlist, the Beasties didn't play all instrumental. More photos of the Boys HERE.
It should also be noted that both comedians Aziz Ansari & Sarah Silverman arrived (VERY) late to the festival. That in turn left two of the three stages un-hosted for most, or all, of the first day. Michael Showalter was spotted doing his job though.
Stay tuned right here for more reports from Sasquatch 2007 - including those from the yeti himself.

Now *that's* the kind of setlist I'd want to see at a Beastie Boys show nowadways. Mostly instrumental, with Check Your Head-ish era stuff mixed in. Nice.

I was at the main stage most of both days and never once saw Sarah Silverman...good thing, I can't stand her, but I hope that they got their money back. Even when the main stage got shut down for 3 hours on Sunday due to craaaazy freezing wind, there was another guy giving the updates. Beasties kicked ass, as usual. It was nice to have 2 performances from them, as we mostly went just to see them. I was disappointed to see songs played on both days, when they have so many to choose from, but they looked sweet!
It would have been more tolerable if I could have afforded even one beer, a can was ten freaking dollars!!! Fuck off Gorge, that is the last time I will be going there.

Despite the wind and cold and delays, it was an amazing weekend. Notables are The Helio Sequence, Viva Voce, The Black Angels and who knows how Ghostland Observatory has the power to completely take over your body with the most infectous, electro punk rock you've ever heard in your life.
I was there dude.
