Hey Rosetta! - Yer Spring

Sasquatch Edition. A great Canadian band from Newfoundland! I have loved Hey Rosetta! since their debut EP and single Lions For Scottie when they were basically nobodies just trying to make a living. But their latest two albums, Seeds and Into Your Lungs have put them on the map for the Canadian indie scene, and with appearances at Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza they will start spreading their amazing music around the rest of the world. 

I love this video for its simplicity and the use of sparklers. I have a cool story about it from when I saw them for the second time. My buddy Dave called me up the day of the Tragically Hip show (Hey Rosetta! was opening) asking if I wanted to go... for free! Fuck yes! We got to Deer Lake Park and instantly got quite close for Hey Rosetta! Dave's girlfriend Melissa had brought sparklers for all of us. We lit them during this song, holding them high above our heads and the lead singer, Tim Baker, gave us a cool smile and head nod. A minor event but damn we felt cool.

Some thoughts...

- Fuck ya OKC! I do like the Lakers but they've won enough. Durant, Fisher and Westbrook are too epic.

- The Dictator actually got a decent review... Might hafta go see it now

- Still looking for another to join us at Sasquatch!
