By John Phillips. Blitzen Trapper is on mega-indie label Sub Pop, sure, but the band still does things their own way. Published on July 2, 2009 as Music Feature in the Music section of the Sacramento News & Review

Linda Your song 'Furr' should be on the 'New Moon' soundtrack!! No joke.
Sounds lame...but I'm reading the books and that song reminds me of the character jacob!

Heather

Heather So....Blitzen Trapper was my number one band to see at Sasquatch this year...I was totally pumped for it..and then on the second day of the festival, I was arrested for smoking pot and thrown in jail. I stayed in county lockup for 50 hours and missed the ENTIRE last two days of Sasquatch, including Blitzen Trapper's set that I was sooooo looking forward to. All I could think about while I was in that ladies dorm was how much I wished I could see them...it broke my heart :(

Luckily, they are coming to my beautiful city of Vancouver, BC on July 30th! Woot! I will be able to finally see them after all! I wish I could meet the guys and tell them my crazy jail story, because it's pretty awesome... hahaha...

Blitzen Trapper, I wrote a song about you while I was in jail! Maybe I'll finish it up and send it your way one day... :) You guys rock, I love your music, keep it comin'!

Caleb Dorsey so I heard you guys on XM radio (black river killer) and scrounged up a couple of CD's. You are now my absolute favorite band, and I haven't said that about any band that's still been alive since Nirvana in 1992. I'm spreading the word as much as possible. Keep it up...
