wilderado @ sasquatch! music festival 2018

We’ve been captivated by Wilderado‘s energy since we first saw them open for Judah & The Lion over a year ago. Last weekend, we experienced them in a different light – quite literally – during a day set during Sasquatch! Music Festival 2018 Day 2. Shortly after, we met up with them to take a few portraits on the lawn. And it got fun. So here are most of those photos.

Day 1 at Sasquatch! Music Festival 2018 was jaw-dropping. We started off our day at the Bigfoot stage, enjoying the musical stylings of Washington-based Giants in The Trees. The entire band was entertaining from the very first lines of the first song, to the end of the set. And we’re more than smitten with the way that Krist Novoselic danced while playing the accordion.

On May 25th – otherwise known as Day 1 at Sasquatch! Music Festival in Quincy, Washington – The Suffers made a phenomenal performance overlooking a beautiful crowd at The Gorge close to sunset. It was an invigorating set, adequately preparing us all for a long night of wonderful music. We got some photos of the set, as well as a couple of portraits with leader singer Kam Franklin and drummer Nick Zamora.

On the night of Friday May 7th, Modest Mouse kicked off the summer season at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, MO with a visually stimulating – and otherwise utterly incredible – performance. Although the crowd was a bit riled up by the time they took the stage, slightly later than was expected – the sound was still being tweaked early in the performance -, which simply built up the excitement for the performance even more. As soon as the band started to assemble on stage, the crowd stood up and lost their minds, and rightfully so.

Bathed in vibrant lighting and smoke, the band was wildly entertaining through a large catalogue of their music, rendering the breezy, warm evening the perfect beginning to summer. A venue that sees a lot of polite, seated crowds was able to experience an energy unlike any I’ve seen in a while, the majority of concert-goers going wild with each new song that played. “King Rat”, “Float On”, “Shit In Your Cut”, “Tiny Cities Made of Ashes”, the list goes on. It was a night made for memories, enhanced by the alt rock we’ve come to know and love since Modest Mouse’s conception in 1993.
