The pandemonium and mass confusion that accompanies the opening of a music festival, let alone one such as Sasquatch Music Festival where you park in a semi-organized fashion in random fields next to tents and cows, is akin to very few other experiences in a lifetime. The herding, the terror in the eyes of lost souls, the cattle brands... Well, there might as well be cattle brands because, let's face it, as much as we all enjoy a multitude of bands playing incredible music in one of the world's most stunning outdoor venues, organizing ourselves on a mass scale just [...]
photo by Gerrit Feenstra For those of us out here at the Gorge, Memorial Weekend has started. Camping grounds are packed full of tents and cars are blowing their speakers on pump up tunes. Waiting in massive lines exchanging tickets for wristbands, we got to meet new friends and share our love for the bands we are excited to see. Inching closer and closer to opening time, the anticipation builds and excitement fills the air. It's no secret that Sasquatch! is a massive communal experience, but every year, the same joy of sharing those ecstatic feelings [...]
If you're lucky enough to be a part of the sold out 2012 Sasquatch! music festival, there are a couple of things you need to know and understand. Firstly, analyze and decide on the schedule. There will be conflicts with regards to which artists you want to see and when. You'll be able to find out schedules from the guides at the various booths, but plan ahead and get to the front of the stage by quickly checking below. You can catch performances which are happening simultaneously, but make [...]
After taking its sweet time last year, summer has struck back with a vengeance. At least here in the midwest, 90+ degree temperatures and clear, sunny skies are quickly becoming the norm. Of course, with the changing of the seasons not only comes trips to the beach and increased slushie sales but exuberant, feel-good summer jams. As is our tradition here at Music For Ants, we're providing a mix that will hopefully soundtrack some of your 2012 summer memories. Download below or take a listen at Spotify . Enjoy!

Yellow Ostrich is bound to kick off the Sasquatch weekend with their new, more complete sound.
Remember being a kid and having one of the most incredible imaginations ever? Pretending to be a rock star and being inducted into the hall of fame?

It's a holiday celebrated by few, but those few treat it like Christmas morning. In fact, some might consider it better than Christmas morning: Record Store Day. Since its inception in 2007, countless vinyl enthusiasts have woken up - on Saturday morning, no less - to patrol the streets in their pajamas, eventually taking up real estate outside their favorite record store, all in the hopes that they'll snag priceless soon-to-be artifacts that, more or less, give them bragging rights. It's relentless, it's addicting, but it's pastime. Consequence of Sound looks forward to [...]

[Photos by acidjack] Yellow Ostrich was the first band I saw last year , at this same venue ( Mercury Lounge ). Back then, the band consisted of creative mastermind and frontman Alex Schaaf and drummer Michael Tapper, working hard to produce an on-stage re-recreation of the simple magic of the band's then-current release, The Mistress . That record was one of those inde gems you might miss if you didn't pay attention to the CMJ showcase circuit and the right blogs; it was a lo-fi, low-profile recording offered on Schaaf's [...]
A new video came out last week for Yellow Ostrich 's "Marathon Runner" off Strange Land (Barsuk) featuring creepy kids in masks. Directed by Matthew Lessner - this video feels like a blast from the past with vague reference to what I believe is Freddie Kreuger or the Hulk- in short, it rules.

I've watched this video for Yellow Ostrich's excellent song "Marathon Runner" a few times now, and I'm not sure I get it. Then again, maybe there's nothing to get. Or maybe I'm not cool enough. Doesn't really matter, because it's got kids on bikes and gold masks and sweet martial arts moves and and an [...]
