Seattle Rock Orchestra to perform Radiohead at Sasquatch!

Last month the Seattle Rock Orchestra played Radiohead’s The Bends and OK Computer back-to-back at the Moore Theatre. It was an ambitious undertaking by a crew of 50+ musicians and the SRO pulled it off extremely well.

Memorial Day weekend the Seattle Rock Orchestra will once again tackle material from The Bends and OK Computer during a set at Sasquatch! Because it will be happening at a festival the SRO Gorge set won’t include both records in full, but if it is anything like their set at the Moore it will be a must-see set at Sasquatch!

This won’t be the orchestra’s first stop at the Gorge. Last year SRO performed a well-received tribute to Arcade Fire at Sasquatch! You can check out the Guerrilla Candy review of the Seattle Rock Orchestra’s take on Radiohead here and view Jason Tang’s series of photos from the performance by clicking here.
