LIVE FROM THE GORGE AT GEORGE >>>

Old-school Texas rock n' soul outfit Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears took the party vibe at Sasquatch Festival's Yeti Stage to the next level on Sunday. Last time I caught the band, at Bumbershoot, one of the Honeybears rocked a Sonics t-shirt (as in Tacoma's Sonics.) And the band must really be in touch with their Northwest rock history as they rolled out "Louie Louie" - an anthem retooled by Tacoma's own Fabulous Wailers - towards the end of Sunday's set, sparking spontaneous moshing (well, running around in circles) and rampant toilet paper chucking from the crowd. The moment was so fun the band huddled for a sec and capped things off with another garage-rock classic, "Surfin' Bird."
