The 5 Craziest Moments from Sasquatch 2009

It was quite the eventful Sasquatch! Festival this year. Oh sure, anytime you throw that many people in a confined space with entertainment and their own plentiful supply of drugs and alcohol, crazy things are bound to happen. But this year, there were some exceptional moments.

Top 5 Crazy moments from Sasquatch

1. Couple have very public sex during the Decemberists set, but experience The Hazards of Love when security comes and busts them:


2. The entire Monotonix set on Monday.
The Israeli band are usually guaranteed to have the craziest moment at any festival they perform at, and it took a live sex act to knock them off the top. Here's a short video of some of the highlights... you must make it to the end.
Insanity.

3. Murder City Devils' Spencer Moody goes on a crazy drunken rant against "the jocks" in the audience; makes out with audience; and rubs a photographer's face in his crotch (not cool).
Crazy, but in the end, kind of annoying.

4. Entire King Khan & the Shrines set, but especially when Saxaphonist Ben Ra pulled down his pants and tucked his package under for the great song "I Wanna Be a Girl." Ra's little dance recalls the creepy scene of Buffalo Bill dancing in Silence of the Lambs ("Would you f*ck me? I'd f*ck me. I'd f*ck me hard.")

5. Kevin Whelan from The Wrens was on fire the whole show, throwing his bass into the stratosphere and then into the audience, topping it off with a leap so high off the top of his bass cabinet, that folks swear my photo of it is doctored somehow when I show them.

Climax to my favorite set from the festival.

Honorable mention goes to Of Montreal's theatrics on Sunday night, and Tim & Eric's always zany antics in the comedy tent on Saturday night.

Anybody else got some craziness to add?
