Sasquatch: Sleigh Bells

June 24, 2011 by Ross

 

To be completely honest, I did not know what to expect from the Sleigh Bells. I was worried that picking Sleigh Bells over Death Cab for Cutie would haunt my memories of Sasquatch 2011 forever.  The Banana Shack was full to capacity and after a thirty-minute wait because of technical difficulties, the lights turned off and Derek Miller began blasting guitar riffs of “Iron Man” that energized the youthful crowd. Lead singer Alexis Krauss would help Miller with her dynamic vocals and her ability to hypnotize the body and force it to dance. Within the first three songs of their set, I could not help but to dance and fall in love with this noise pop duo. The combination of Miller and Krauss with the light show and Sasquatch crowd was perfect. “Crown on the Ground” is still ringing in my head and I hope it never leaves.

Listen to “Crown on the Ground”:
