SASQUATCH DAY THREE: Hipster-Hop takes over - Mad Rad and Das Racist photos

By Ernest A. Jasmin on May 30, 2011

LIVE FROM THE GORGE AT GEORGE >>>

The Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse may have been the biggest deals on the main stage Sunday at Sasquatch. But over at the Yeti Stage it was all about the hipster-hop, starting with rowdy Seattle crew Mad Rad, whose backing band included Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band singer-guitarist Benjamin Verdoes. If you caught them recently at Hell's Kitchen you know the group brings the hedonism vibe hard. Sample intro: "This next song is about weed and vagina."

Up next was smart aleck Brooklyn hip-hop trio Das Racist, who rocked a series of "classic jazz songs," harassed photographers and clowned sponsor Soy Joy as they hurled soy bars back and forth with fans.
