Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno are the coolest cats that ever did it and got away with it.

I am so very excited for Sasquatch this weekend.

S! O! Veee!
Hollywood Holt took us all back to a tongue-in-cheek time of Sir Mix-A-Lot, 2 Live Crew, and speed-humping the stage — keep an eye on him — Chester French might be the worst band in the world, but Lady Sovereign did everything right.

He'll be singing his pleasant songs at 7 pm at Easy Street Queen Anne before going to play Sasquatch on Sunday.

As I was mapping out my weekend, figuring out where to go and what to see (I'm NOT going to Sasquatch this year, and will need to keep myself busy right here in Seattle), and I had planned on seeing Big Business Sunday night. Right? Good show! But Big Business are not playing Sunday night. For those who might not have been paying attention (like, uh, me), the Big Business show at Neumos has been moved to Monday, the 25th (more info/buy tickets here).
