Jack White at Sasquatch! (05/26/12) by Shawn Anderson Words and Photos : Shawn Anderson aka Drake Lelane Photos : Zach Gore Sasquatch, the most picturesque of music festivals, signals the beginning of summer in the Northwest*, and since last year, that starter's gun has gone off on Friday. That day featured Santigold, Girl Talk, Explosions in the Sky and more, but we are going to pretend that day didn't happen. Not out of protest, mind you, but out of near [...]

Washington's Sasquatch! Festival took place over the weekend, a heavy-hitting four day lineup featuring people like Jack White, St. Vincent. Bon Iver, Beck, Sanitgold, the Shins, Feist, Metric and dozens more. Stereogum contributor Alex Crick was on hand to behold and snap some great shots. Check out his gallery up top.
photo by Brittney Bollay Opening a main stage at a festival can be a daunting task, especially for a band that isn't used to playing festivals. " This is a little different than our basement," noted singer Galen Disston, "but we're really honored to be here." Lucky for Pickwick , a legion of fans rushed to the front of the stage, and with their support, Pickwick tore through a set of groove-based rock that started the day off with a bang. Their energy was high and their musicianship was tight, so by the time they [...]
Sub Pop gets into the female rap game with THEESatisfaction 's slowjam, hipster/backpacker DIY band's awE naturalE. Don't let the fact that it's a duo of chicks doing hip hop, or the annoying capitalization in the band's name (and album name) throw you off. This is good stuff. If the "Bitch" refrain ("I am the bitch on the side") doesn't stick to the sides of your skull for days, you're just not a music lover. Enchantruss QueenS

Singer Catherine "Cat" Harris-White and rapper Stasia "Stas" Irons, otherwise known as THEEsatisfaction , met in 2006 while attending the University of Washington. Stas first encountered Cat while attending her open mic performances. Initially intimidated by her powerhouse performances, it took her some time to drum up the courage to to approach her, but once contact was established, the pair embarked on a partnership that would find them featured as guest performers on Shabazz Palaces' 2011 album, "Black Up" . This collaboration led them to being signed to [...]
The tenth birthday celebrations of Jam Hip-Hop nights will see Seattle R&B duo Theesatisfaction play The Pavilion in Cork June 7th. Supporting acts for the gig are Irish DJs Stevie G and Colm K . Tickets are available from Pavilion Bar priced €10 and online priced €15 .
Fresh off the back of the release of their first album 'awE naturalE', Stas & Kat have made a video. I was lucky enough to see THEESatisfaction live in Manchester last year, when they were supporting Shabazz Palaces, and they completely blew me away. They are definitely a unique talent, blending that traditional hip hop
THEESatisfaction - Awe Naturale Sub Pop: 2012 Over my couple of years writing here at Potholes I’ve been pretty clear about my affinity for R&B that is alternative , on that progressive soul , boho booty bump , or rooted to the gut bucket blues . Tight song writing, big hooks, and catchy melodies are low on my preferences for contemporary rhythm-n-blues as the late-50s to early-80s had that game on lock. The truth is in a world where rap, electronic, and indie rule the blogosphere, it’s hard for R&B and [...]
THEESatisfaction By Russell Warfield April 24, 2012 You'll have to forgive this review for failing to get beyond the fact that THEESatisfaction – the slinky duo whose recent LP gave a much needed injection of old school spirit and soul into traditionalist black music – play their live shows from a fucking backing tape . In one fell swoop, all the soul is drained from this music – a hollow husk of a laptop in the shadows of where the horn section should be grooving, [...]
If things were up to us, the next year or so in R&B/ soul would be completely shifted to fall in complimentary line with the kooky goodness being served on "QueenS", the lead-off cut from Seattle-based hip hop duo's THEESatisfaction 's Album of the Year-worthy debut awE naturalE . More clever, funky, creative, cool, soulful and groovalicious than about 98% of anything the genre has produced in recent memory and excitingly sounding like the past and future of Black pop folding unto itself, "QueenS" is the soul-lovers' definition of the kind of [...]
something for the lazy and lush weekends video for QueenS by THEESatisfaction directed by dream hampton
Corban took over for me on this column last week because I went down to Asheville, North Carolina to experience Actionfest, a film festival dedicated entirely to movies where people get kicked in the face or stabbed with broken glass. After four straight days of that, I'm still in something of a bloody-eyeball daze, and I'd have nice things to say about any music videos with Tony Jaa-style twist-kicks. I didn't see any of those this week, but the whole experience might have something to do with my preference for the music video about the violent kidnappings. Actually, I'd probably [...]
When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant. - Lisa Unger [...]
