And it’s totally worth bugging your friend to let you borrow their car. Anarcortes’ premier music festival always brings the weird, and this year is no exception. Also, I don’t get out in the woods enough and neither do you.

Here’s the lineup, in alphabetical order:

Adrian Orange, Al Larsen, Alyse Emdur, Be Gulls, Bryan Elliott Band, Calvin Johnson, D+, Dupond Et Dupont, Fanny Alger, Geneviève Castrée, Graves, Guy Blackman, Jason Anderson, Juice Team DJs, Karl Blau, Kickball, LAKE, Laura Veirs, Little Wings, Lloyd & Michael, Lucky Dragons, Marston, Mecca Normal, Mount Eerie, Mouseheart Factor, Nate Ashley, Old Time Relijun, PEACE, Privacy, Rich Jensen, Robert Arellano, Spoonshine, Tender Forever, The Blow, The Gift Machine, The Lonely Forest, The Oregon Donor, The Poison Dart, To Bad Catholics, To Spite Mike, Tom Blood, Valet, Vanessa Renwick, Watery Graves, Well Done Dragon, White Rainbow, YACHT, Your Heart Breaks

Hark, thee Water Runneth thicke by Singer/Songwriters! Fans of the Blow should definitely pay attention as the scheduling of YACHT guarantees Jona Bechtolt’s presence at the festival. Jona was absent at the Blow’s Showbox appearance and at Sasquatch last weekend, so maybe this time we can see them actually play together!
Anyhow, the festival takes place in Anacortes, WA, on July 19-22. Full weekend passes are available for $50 at whattheheckfest.com.
