Beyond the fact that we just celebrated the tenth year of Treasure Island (and despite the pouring rain causing fans, fest promoters, and artists to quickly adapt), the decade old festival in all its indie glory is one of the most special festival experiences to be on the circuit today. The lineup boasts only a mere 15 artists (significantly smaller compared to their competitors), but promises fans an experience completely unique for their stature--the opportunity to catch every performance. No set conflicts, no stress, just the breeze of SF taking you from the first beat directly to the next. Minus a lapse of three hours while we all waited the storm out...

 

Before the rain though, SOFI TUKKER took the Tunnel Stage by storm (pun intended), and got the whole of Treasure Island fans excited as they meshed the best parts of indie and electronica together.

Check out our quickie with SOFI TUKKER below as we sit down with one of our favorites on the bill and discuss all things Treasure Island:
