by Corbett Cummins photos by Heather Christianson If there is one thing Bumbershoot is good at, its delivering unique experiences for audiences and performers alike. And for an up and coming comedian, playing to a packed audience at an early show during a huge festival definitely counts as unique. This is why we began the [...] ...

This week we present you with another great performance from KEXP’s broadcast from the Bumbershoot Music Lounge.

Given Seattle's reputation for precipitation, it's nice to know the Pacific Northwest city gets a new Bumbershoot (we'll spare you the Googling-- it means "umbrella" ) each and every year. This year was no different, with the 2008 edition of the sprawling fest taking over various Seattle Center venues over Labor Day Weekend. Gathered under Bumbershoot's big umbrella ('ella, 'ella, eh eh eh) on Sunday, August 31, we had the likes of T.I., Lee "Scratch" Perry, Final Fantasy, and more.

Sandwiched between sets from Athens, GA's, the Whigs and Minneapolis' Tapes 'n Tapes, it's easy to be overshadowed, but Glasgow rock'n'roll quartet Sons and Daughters found no trouble standing out on their own Sunday evening at the Rockstar Stage, as commanding frontwoman Adele Bethel and axeman/vocalist Scott Paterson led the band through one of the day's most energetic sets. Watch the quartet rip through the chanting, brash groover "Johnny Cash," sung in their thick Scot brogue, below, and be sure to check back to SPIN.com all week long for much more from Bumbershoot '08 . ...

The sad truth: Not all youngsters gallivanting under Seattle's Space Needle Monday turned out to heed SPIN deputy editor Steve Kandell's advice and catch indie rock luminaries Superchunk's rare live set in Memorial Stadium. But despite the not-so-thick crowd, frontman Mac McCaughan and crew's tangled indie-pop hooked many a fervent, fist pumping, and -- at times -- moshing 30-something clad in weathered rock tees. Even Death Cab guitarist Chris Walla, perched on the side of the stage, exhausted more energy bouncing up and down in glee than strumming alongside Ben Gibbard later that night. Plus, comedian Janeane Garofalo was seen running backstage, coffee in hand, to watch the band with her own two eyes. Call it '90s nostalgia, but who wants to argue with the same decade that spawned grunge, Beavis and Butthead , the DIY movement, slacker sarcasm, and so many other entities responsible for the sounds of today? Not me. Watch Superchunk rip through classics like the fuzzy pop-smart "Throwing Things," off 1991's No Pocky for Kitty , and "The First Part," a heavy rocker from 1993's Foolish , and be sure to check back to SPIN.com all week for more from Bumbershoot '08.

On Monday Bumbershoot was a smoldering guyville. And we have the photos to prove it. Who knows why the festival was so testosterone heavy, but if boys were your thing, you had a grab bag to choose from. There is an image gallery to this entry which you can view at Seattlest ...

As previously mentioned , Monday at Bumbershoot was heavily skewed towards the alt-country side of things. We're not sure if that's good programming or bad programming. On the one hand, if you're way into alt-country, just attend that one day of the festival and you're all set; on the other hand, you've got some tough choices to make among Blitzen Trapper, Langhorne Slim, Two Gallants, the Maldives, and Old 97s. We managed to catch some of all of the above, which ranged from alt-country to straight-up country to country-twinged blues rock . The diversity of sound was overwhelming. Luckily, yesterday also offered Bellingham's Black Eyes and Neckties , who managed to give one of their typical over-the-top horrorshow stage productions, even with their lead singer in a wheelchair with a broken foot . There was also Feral Children at the Sky Church--the Animal Collective comparisons are dead on, except these guys actually sounds good live. With enough melodies and sing-along vocals to keep things interesting (not to mention pedals galore), the Sarathan five-piece put on one of the best sets at this year's Bumbershoot. From there, we had nowhere else to go but the Northwest Court, where we took it down a notch with the mostly-seated crowd for the dreampop of Arthur and Yu . Then it was back to the Sky Church for Velella Velella , who put in the effort, despite having such a tough time slot, up against Superchunk at Memorial Stadium and ...
