I never actually mentioned this in my 2009 Sasquatch! Festival coverage, but it’s the kind of salacious/humorous story I usually eat up, so here goes (Michael Musto style):
An overly frisky couple experienced their own Hazards of Love moment when they were caught having very public sex during The Decemberists set at the 2009 Sasquatch! Festival. I imagine this won’t happen again tonight (June 10) in the rarified air of Radio City where you can catch Colin Meloy and Co. perform their new album from start to finish with special guests Becky Stark and Shara Worden (Buy Tickets). Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3 are filling the opening slot this evening, they’ll be playing a headlining show of their own tomorrow (June 11) at The Bell House with Brooklyn’s own Takka Takka (Buy Tickets).
