Music: Rock/Pop Blitzen Trapper w/ Fleet Foxes and Ola Podrida

Portland's Blitzen Trapper take the stage with countrified indie rock. The sextet's third release, last year's Wild Mountain Nation, is a collection of lo-fi ditties that convincingly walk the line between Appalachian twang and the playful style-experiments of Pavement's Wowee Zowee, with a few classic-rock riffs thrown in for good measure. Riding a wave of positive reviews and well-deserved Internet hype (including Pitchfork's all-important Best New Music nod), the band signed with Sub Pop last summer. Atmospheric folk-rockers (and a buzz band in their own right) Fleet Foxes open.
