Sasquatch > Bonnaroo?

I can guarantee one thing: Sasquatch will not pull a Langerado.
A handful of big names overlap with Bonnaroo, but that’s not a bad thing considering how far apart they are from each other: Sasquatch is in Washington state and Bonnaroo (lineup) is in Tennessee. Both still have more artists to add, but already it seems [...]

This is big change from when the duo recorded with The Flaming Lips’ music producer Dave Fridmann in 2007 [...]

MGMT plan to finish tour, then head right back to the studio

After their round of US tours, highlighted by Coachella and Bonnaroo, the indie synth-pop phenoms have their hands VERY full over the next year and a half or so.

“We’ve been longing to get in the studio for a while because we got out of it recording our last album about a year ago. So we’re [...]
