SASQUATCH 09: Day 2 gets off to a hot start

By Jeremy Dutton

GEORGE — Viva Voce kicked things off with a guitar-driven indie pop set just after noon. The husband-wife duo plus a couple more members to round out the band are releasing their latest album "Rose City" that comes out this Tuesday.

Point Juncture, WA were second on stage at the Yeti and mightily displayed their brand of indie-pop with a twist. They've got something many other bands can't compete with. Leading the charge on vocals and drums is a woman, I can't come up with her name, but Meg White has got nothing on her. She's like Phil Collins and Don Henley wrapped up in a much prettier package.

Taking over for Hockey on the Wookie was British electro-indie-pop band Hockey. Their danceable tunes set were getting everybody grooving way too early with how hot it was outside. But it was still fun to watch.
