What an awesome start, but there are sure to be some additions. Did anyone else notice on the little T.V. on the right that said Fleet Foxes (which we already know are going to be there), The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie? Possible additions? We will have to see in the coming weeks...

My Sasquatch! 2009 Predictions!!!
Using what we know for sure, solid rumors, distant rumors, gut feelings and a little bit of want here are my 50 or so predictions for Sasquatch! 2009:
Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Pavement, Jane’s Addiction, Oasis, Kings of Leon, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, The Shins, Decemberists, Grizzly Bear, The Long Winters, Patrick Wolf, Stars, Animal Collective, The Walkmen, Neko Case, Public Enemy, King of Khan, The Avett Brothers, Peter Bjorn and John, Monotonix, Sun Kil Moon, Passion Pit, Tobacco, Youth Group, Silversun Pickups, TV on the Radio, MGMT, Santogold, Vampire Weekend, Girl Talk, Nada Surf, Wolf Parade, Jenny Lewis, The Black Lips, Dan Deacon, Metric, The Wrens, Seaweed, Clumsy Lovers, Tenacious D, MSTRKRFT, The Thermals, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, John Vanderslice, The Duchess and the Duke, Eliot Lipp, U.S.E., Todd Barry, Zack Galifinakis, Patton Oswald.
What do you think? Obivously there will probably be closer to 80 or 90 bands, but that is exhausting. Last year I got 27 of the 71 bands right. How many do you think you can guess right?

Thanks to loyal Sasquatch! Blog readers it is evident that The Decemberists are heavily rumored for Sasquatch! '09 Via Colin Meloy's (Decemberists' frontman) Twitter Q & A and a date in Eugene, OR at the McDonald's Theatre. Below is the Twitter exchange:
The Twitter question:

Rumors Abound on the Message Board and Abroad...(2009)
Now there are many rumors out there, here are a few that I believe to be solid:
Tobacco (from Black Moth Super Rainbow fame): A Facebooker pointed this out on the Sasquatch! Facebook page. After a little digging found the info on Tobacco's Myspace page. Interestingly, it does not explicitly say that he is playing Sasquatch!, but Tobacco seems to be saying he will be there in his own way.
Grizzly Bear: Quartermass, the co-administrator, along with myself, knows someone trying to book Grizzly Bear, but there was conflict because they are playing Sasquatch! He also says he has on good authority that Monotonix will be playing Sasquatch! Thanks Quartermass!
Passion Pit: A Consequence of Sound reader and commenter sited that Passion Pit revealed that they would be playing Sasquatch! '09 as well as Lollapalooza and Coachela in an interview for Under the Radar Magazine. The issues cover is on the Under the Radar magazine website, but not the content, sure enough Passion Pit is featured as an artist to keep a lookout for in 2009.
John Vanderslice: A message board reader and commenter wrote that he heard John say on KEXP that he will be playing Sasquatch! this year.
Keep the rumors coming, if they seem solid I will post them!
