The Four Star Bar is located on the right-hand side of the road if you're coming from Missoula. Its attached to Morigau's Restaurant, and there is parking in front of AND on both sides of the building. The front entrance faces the highway. Musicians: park on the north end of the bar to load in the side door. We suggest carpooling for day attendees and overnight campers alike. Temperatures are expected to be in the 90's during the day, so be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, LOTS of water, and possibly a sun umbrella. Cold water will be available at the bar, but its best to be extra-hydrated to avoid heat exhaustion. The concert will be half-indoors, half-outdoors, with additional beverages available at the bar.

Episode 5: Smooth country roads and gnarly ditches! 

1) Rhetoric - “The Mob Is Fickle” - A smokin’ mishmash of punk, prog, alt-rock, and even some Shellac-ish bits and pieces, these dudes front on the heavy tip, with some sludge and dirt sprinkled on for good measure. Rhetoric takes home my personal vote for ‘Slickest Riffs of Missoula 2010″ award!

2) Suicide Victim - “Poison the Milk Truck” - Suicide Victim, the mutant brainchild of longstanding Zootown rocker Josh Jacka, assails its fans with uber-tight timing changes and more melodic hooks than an expert angler has tied flies. Josh has gone fishing on behalf of his solo project, hooking a Billings-to-Zootown power lineup. These dudes combine their powers to deliver some of the tastiest thrash/ska/death/punk this side of the Divide.

3) Whiskey Whore - “Sex and Drugs and Jesus” - they look like wayward youth and sound like a dying U.S. Federal Marshall in the 1800’s . . . in other words, Whiskey Whore bring the outlaw life to punk with all guns blazing. The only prisoners they take are the ones they free from the hands of the man! They released their debut EP, ‘6 Shots,’ this year on Jimmycat Records to uproarious praise.

4) Ello - “Sleeping on the Surf” - Chillness, melancholy, resignation, psychadelia, and hope - a perfect pop stew for an enlightened era of imperfect, fragmented pop. At first listen, its hints of Roy Orbison, Blue Oyster Cult, and 13th Floor Elevators. Twenty minutes later, you have to listen to “Sleeping on the Surf” again, noticing the rate at which your heart swells. Organ swells and languid, trailing vocals make this one killer.

5)Bridgebuilder - “Final Master Weapon” - jamming across Montana and the PNW since ‘97, Bb has seen numerous members come and go. The current trio seems to be the tightest yet, morphing metal freakouts into off-kilter pop and chaotic noise rock. “Final Master Weapon” seems to be about souls . . . or weapons . . . or the ocean. Yeah!
