The Mars Volta played right before Flaming Lips on the mainstage on the third of three days of the Sasquatch Music Festival in Gorge, Washington this past weekend (May 26, 2008). More pictures, a video interview conducted backstage by an ex-member of Gang of Four, and tour dates below….

I ran into Cedric and Omar from The Mars Volta back stage. We caught up about the last time we spent time together in Los Angeles in 2005 doing a remix together of Gang of Four’s ‘To Hell With Poverty’ with Cedric laying down the vocals in some serious street Spanish way. Of course it never saw the light of day. Pity. Anyway here’s the video. [Pampelmoose]
