Thee Oh Sees and You Am I were just two of the acts to play outdoor sets at Bumbershoot 2011. The even also featured random, scary people dressed as pirates and masked weirdos. Sorry.

Ghost Town Riot has a sweepingly huge sound to their songs. The Seattle band caught my attention because its drummer Jeff Brown was in Aruvius Thud, another Seattle band – one I caught onto a bit too late – but I am hoping I have discovered this band for myself right when I should. I like the tempo changes in their songs; I don’t think they’re randomly placed just for the sake of moving the music along. This group plays rock with an entirely symphonic and open touch, and I want to see them again, get more familiar with their songs. I’m checking this out right now. Right now.

YACHT brought their electro-sounds to Bumbershoot 2011 with an outdoor performance. The duo, Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, state on their site that YACHT is not a religion. How do you feel about that? Thank you to photographer Kirk Stauffer for more beauties from Bumbershoot:
