No Bigfoot sightings (as far as we know), but plenty of big bands afoot at the 2007 installment of the Sasquatch! Music Festival, which went down this past Memorial Day weekend in George, Washington. Sunglasses were all the rage as fest vets such as Björk, Arcade Fire, Interpol, Beastie Boys, Spoon, Patrick Wolf, Electrelane (including former Pitchfork contributor Mia Lily Clarke), and Grizzly Bear brought their fan-favorite fare to George's Gorge Amphitheatre. This year's gathering wasn't without snags: M.I.A. canceled last week and the Polyphonic Spree and others had sets cut short due to dangerous high winds.
