Bumbershoot 2008 photo by Kyle Johnson
Bumbershoot is a musical extravaganza, spanning the three-day Labor Day weekend with more bands, arts, and elephant ears than anyone can possibly capture. We had a posse of imaginary writers (ChrisB, Chris Estey, imaginary elle, imaginary dana, and Cory), and photographers (Chona, Kyle, Nathan, and Andrew) all over Seattle Center, trying to capture the frenzy and mayhem of Bumbershoot 2008. Below you can see and read about our adventures during the first day, which kicked off with local electronic duo Beehive and ended with superstar Beck, and covered over 20 other bands in-between.
Enjoy!
Mono in VCF is unquestionably a dark horse contender for one of the biggest break out bands from the Pacific NW in 2008.
Latest comment by: Aaron: "I agree A. Have to say the album is amazing. And then live it's even better. They are one of the most unique bands around."
Latest comment by: Aaron: "I've followed them since then too! Both singers are great. The only thing linking the two versions is the name. They are pretty different sounds and you can't beat a full-length with such rad songs. Doesn't sound like a debut that's for sure."
