On first blush we all agreed Sasquatch! pulled together one of the lineups to beat of this glutted summer festival season, which is why we’re psyched that, despite not having made the trip ourselves, we were able to send photog Chona Kasinger in our stead to capture the Lips/Mouse/R.E.M. & M.I.A.-heavy lineup. Rainn Wilson was there, people got arrested for mushrooms, the Lips had naked women onstage … but the following photo set is Schrute and ‘shroom free, and also totally SFW.

    That isn’t the Dead Confederate drummer.

  2. Hooray for Stereogum for using Chona Kassinger, one of Seattle’s best photogs for Sasquatch.
    Booray for that not being Dead Confederates real and completely amazing drummer.

    also, i believe the second “DENGUE FEVER” should be “DESTROYER”

  4. Yeah Chona’s a pretty badass photographer.

    Those photos look amazing, and I’m now consumed by jealousy for anybody who got to be there. Of all the weekends my best friend had to pick for her wedding…

    no…the second dengue fever is right where it should be.

    I went…it had it’s moments (M.I.A., Flaming Lips, Battles and Fleet Foxes were fucking phenomenal) but it wasn’t a “oh man, you’re a total fool if you didn’t go” situation. It was fun but there was a ton of bad music I had to sit through in order to maintain my primo location. I guess I’m just not much of a festival guy though…

    that jonny marr pic is sexy. he was looking straight at the camera!

  21. Honestly, some of the best live photography I’ve seen. Good Work Stereogum! Wish I was there.
