Portada de 'The Electronic Anthology Project of Death Cab for Cutie'. Este 2013 ha sido un año bastante ocupado para Ben Gibbard . Para este reconocido músico y cantante, no ha sido suficiente reunir a The Postal Service (después de 10 años), colocar en tiendas una edición especial del Give Up , lanzar un box set de viniles de Death Cab for Cutie y tocar en su totalidad el aclamado Transatlanticism . Ahora, el líder de Death Cab confirmó vía Twitter que la [...]
Over the last few weeks, a series of tornadoes have ripped through Oklahoma, killing many and racking up over $2 billion in property damage. To aid in the recovery efforts, Oklahoma natives The Flaming Lips and Kings of Leon , along with Built to Spill , Jackson Browne, and other special guests, have announced a benefit concert. Rock For Oklahoma will take place July 23rd at Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Arena. Kings of Leon's Jared Followill told Tulsa World , "We couldn’t be more proud to lend a hand to [...]
Back in April we mentioned that 2013 marked the 25th anniversary of Sub Pop Records , and that the venerable indie-label was celebrating the occasion with a special one-day free festival dubbed Sub Pop's Silver Jubilee . Set to take place on Saturday, July 13, in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood, the all-day fest will feature art exhibits, a record fair and of course lots of bands from throughout the label's history. In addition to Saturday's festivities, which will feature the likes of Built To Spill, Father John Misty, J. Mascis and Mudhoney, Sub Pop has also announced that [...]
Japandroids, Tame Impala, Grimes and Danny Brown rock this year's Pac NW festival. The post Sasquatch Recap: 2013 appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .
If you didn't get your tickets in the 2.5 minutes that they were on sale, this lineup announcement may seem a bit cruel, but at least Artist Home, organizers of the annual Doe Bay Fest , kindly treated fans to a free show last night at Chop Suey as they revealed the performers at this year's sold out event. Free sets from local bands The Grizzled Mighty , Tomten , Smokey Brights , and Mikey and Matty were punctuated by announcements of headliners Built to Spill and Shabazz Palaces and [...]
The Front Bottoms recently released their highly anticipated sophomore album, Talon Of The Hawk to critical acclaim. You can read our review of the album here . I got the chance to talk to Brian Sella, vocalist/guitarist of the band, just before he and the rest of The Front Bottoms head off on their nationwide tour of the US beginning on June 1st. You can pick up the record in vinyl , digital or CD form and read the full interview below! Your highly anticipated new album Talon [...]
The Gorge is a loud and dirty amphitheater and campsite filled with great music bumpin from every corner packed with everyone from hipsters and hippies, nerds, high schoolers, old people and even a baby or two. Needless to say it is quite a unique place when Sasquatch comes through Memorial Day Weekend every year since 2002. The worst part about music festivals is the dreadful music overlap where two or three artists that you want to see play at the same time and you can't see all of them. You [...]
The Gorge is a loud and dirty amphitheater and campsite filled with great music bumpin from every corner packed with everyone from hipsters and hippies, nerds, high schoolers, old people and even a baby or two. Needless to say it is quite a unique place when Sasquatch comes through every Memorial Day Weekend every year since 2002. The worst part about music festivals is the dreadful music overlap where two or three artists that you want to see play at the same time and you can't see all of them. [...]
It has been a very weird, very long, and very frustrating week. It was marked with a couple refreshing, lovely moments, but other than that it's been long hours at work and even longer hours stuck in the dark recesses of my mind. I drank a lot, too. It didn't help. Hey, here's a new [...]
Temperature, precipitation, personal hygiene: these things mean little to the seasoned festival goer. Walking in through the gates of Sasquatch this year, I simultaneously felt nostalgia and excitement (with a hint of nausea as a particularly ripe gentleman blew past me screaming Bloody Mary) knowing that the world of large scale festivals in an enigma, shrouded in furry animal suits, just waiting to shock the feint of heart. The drive down from Vancouver to The Gorge Amphitheatre is one that, although prepared for by the onslaught of news stories the previous night, nearly took the wind out of [...]
photos by Morgen Schuler As was made our way to the mainstage for Built to Spill , slow drops of rain began to fall. The rain would never become hard or steady, instead lending the stage a golden glitter - the sun setting came in beams across the stage as Doug Martsch carefully but effortlessly lead the way through classic after classic song. My personal favorites included "Else" as well as "You Were Right". They performed with a quiet exuberance, a confidence that comes with having written songs that will always be honest and relevant [...]
If Sasquatch 2013 in Quincy, WA will be your first entry into your festival diary, you've made a grave error. Everyone knows you have to start with a feeble local festival, boasting maybe one act you've heard of and where the ticket price is a whopping zero dollars. A festival where ultimately you'll walk away with an unaffected attitude and a feeling of time wasted. By ignoring this rite of passage, you've ultimately set your standards too high and only a select handful of festivals will ever be able to match up. Essentially you're now experiencing what [...]
photo by Brittney Bollay If any weekend were to officially signal the start of the Spring/Summer Concert Festival season in the Northwest it has to be Sasquatch Music Festival weekend! Running from Friday thru Monday, Sasquatch is sure to have some surprises in store with a fantastic lineup this year. Of course, KEXP will be broadcasting from the festival all weekend so come say hello! Some great shows during the week too. On Monday night, Detroit Cobras, Pangea, and TacocaT are at Chop Suey, Black Moth Super Rainbow, The [...]
This is a amazing set of covers by Built to Spill playing a secret show at this Cafe in San Jose California. I think bands who have a certain unique sound should entertain their roots and songs that inspired them because chances are the experience will be completely natural for them. Maybe not at first when you are looking for that sound but for fun. It's a way to help connect the fans to real music once again with the ultimate cover band who you know will make you feel it. Enjoy! Built [...]

After 20 years of making music, Built To Spill can still bring a creative energy to their live performance.
Our San Diego picks for the week*
Photos and words by Scott Sheff Boise, Idaho bands took over The Troubadour with veteran indie rockers Built to Spill headlining the two-night run and up-and-comers Junior Rocket Scientist paving the way. Built to Spill came out jamming from the get-go, and did not relent throughout the night. Lead singer Doug Martsch and bandmates shredded through a set of songs off BTS' collection of studio albums, but also included a couple covers from two very different bands. While its cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” was enthralling and thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd, [...]
