Pitchfork Music Festival Recap with Surfer Blood, Best Coast and more
In case you forgot, Pitchfork Music Festival went down in Chi-town last weekend. What? You missed it? Dammit! Us, too. Well, here’s what happened: Pitchfork plucked choice indie heavyweights like LCD Soundsystem and Pavement and snuggled them next to lesser-known kids like Why?, Sleigh Bells, Neon Indian, Surfer Blood, and a whole slew of other groups with band names that sound like they were settled on in drinking games.
Our Minneapolis sister paper, City Pages, scored a recap of the festival’s highlights, and some interviews from people like Raekwon, Surfer Blood, Best Coast, and much loved-and-hated Pitchfork head honcho, Ryan Schreiber. It’s like going to Pitchfork — only it’s free, and ten minutes long, and we get to rub elbows with all the famous people who wouldn’t otherwise talk to us. What’s not to love?
Check it out after the jump.
