I haven't been able to stop listening to Star****er for a good 2 weeks now... AMAZING band. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1_UVkna0Yw&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j1_UVkna0Yw&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UodDJEE49V0&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UodDJEE49V0&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UfJWkfqN97E&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UfJWkfqN97E&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> And anybody planning on going to Nocturnal Fest? It's got a pretty good line up... http://nocturnalfestival.com/ Day 1: Disco Biscuits, Armin van Buuren, Girl Talk, Bassnectar, Above & Beyond, Fedde Le Grand Day 2: ATB, Pretty Lights, LAIDBACK LUKE, The New Deal, Lotus, ED RUSH & OPTICAL, KiD CuDi 60 bucks for both days. I think this is going to be better than EDC.
STRFKR is a great band. They represent the laid back, friendly, Portland indie scene well. My friend was actually at this Belmont Pool Party where they played these tracks a few years back. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j0g42O4cSt0&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j0g42O4cSt0&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> Those guys have a side project called Skeltron which you might like that has similar sounds.
I don't know most of those bands but Girl Talk at Free Press was a lot of fun and I really like Kid Cudi, and I hear Bassnectar is good. But its too far for me to go when I don't know most of the bands And its also apparently 18+. Damn (Being 17 sucks, so close to being able to get into this stuff yet so far ) I'll be going to Voodoo in NOLA though, they have a pretty sick electronic line-up this year. Deadmau5=win.
