What The Heck Fest 2008

Desolation Wilderness at Causland Park on Saturday indie rockers. 

Saturday night, Ô Paon in the City Hall gym.  Each song a looping a guitar part and looping vocal done on the fly, then  French on top like some sort of incantation.

Sunday morning, a ferry ride to Anderson's Store on Guemes Island featured The Solvents.  Venue looking out to bales of hay, mountains and ocean.  Accompanying violin..

Some lines from one of their songs:

Goin down to the basement
Listenin to the Replacements
Love to watch that record spin
With my tonic & gin

Mirah and Spectratone International on Sunday afternoon played, serious musical chops.  Accordion, cello, oud and percussion: nice.
