Seattle's Truckasauras is hitting I-5 this month to bring their retro-future techno sound (plus videos) to cities up and down the west coast.
Truckasauras - whom Pitchfork calls "the future of techno" - has a strong Northwest following, due to their lo-fi, bass-thumping, gameboy-tweaking awesomely rad sound accompanied by amusing WWF and blow-em-up video clips.
"Truckasaurus is a raw and powerful experience to the point of sensory overload," said TIG's Mike Mess about the Truckasauras set at the 2008 Capitol Hill Block Party.
West Coast techno heads, beware. You're about to get your blood in a froth.

In case you were napping, Adam Swan of Truckasauras just wrapped up a series of on-the-road diary entries from the group's first West Coast tour.
In summary: Sun, I-5, strippers, vanbo, passing out on beach, snoring, 20 min set, real hipsters, beautiful people, inescapable casinos, sell merch, Seattle peeps in LA, more I-5, Bellingham rawks, home. Did I already mention the strippers?
Um, Maybe you should just read the diary instead. The Stranger's music blog, Line Out.
