Pitchfork Music Festival Rumors and Discussion!

There a discussion on the Sausage-Fest forum about who's going to be headlining the Pitchfork Music Festival.

Now, I've been avidly researching the big indie-rawk names' tour dates -- from Belle and Sebastian, New Pornographers, and Death Cab For Cutie -- and nearly all of them aren't doing diddly-squat on July 29th and 30th (the dates of PFMF)! It's going to be a toss up who's going to be headlining, but with 36 outta the 41 bands mentioned, we could only speculate who's coming.

My prediction? SUFJAN STEVENS. Pitchfork gave him a stella-star review, and with Illinois nearly everyone's top album of the year, what would be better than to have him headline CHICAGO, ILLINOIS's indiest music festival?

Logic, people! Logic!

I'll be here holding my breath. It's all gravy because I don't, after all, have a nose...

Pitchfork Opening Night Party

Could anyone be more excited about Pitchfork Fest than I??? I'm guessing not. If any of ya'll will be in the Chicagoland area the night before the indie-gasm fest, join me at the Opening Night Party Friday July 28 at the METRO. Headlining is Sunset Rubdown the FANTASTIC sideproject of Wolf Parade's Spencer Krug. Also there will be Indie-pop darlings Voxtrot promoting their latest EP, as well as comedian/writer/filmaker Eugene Mirman who has opened for comedy group Stella, The Shins, and Modest Mouse.

It is my sincerest hope that Wolf Parade will be appearing at Pitchfork Fest. With one of their members in town the night before, I'm beginning to wonder if that might actually come to fruition. Two more months to go!

About the Blog.

This baby is my personal blog where I'll tell you -- the bored and clearly musically-inclined reader -- upcoming indie concerts in the Chambana and Chicagoland area, as well as anywhere else my favorite bands are playing. Furthermore, I'll post pics of me hanging out with my favorite musicians and anything else pertaining to my awesome life.

About the Jeffro.

Name: Indie Rawk Jeffro
Home: Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, United States
About Me: My name is Jeffro, and I have no nose -- only because noses and "breathing" are a product of mainstream culture. I love all things indie, especially music. I live in Chambana with five other roommates, which include the likes of a freshman, a stoner, an evil genius duck, a talking toaster, and a chainsmoker whose parents are a gypsy and a wolf. My sworn enemy is my psycho-bitch ex-girlfriend who -- by some sad, cruel twist of fate -- is dating one of my roommates. I like literally explode when I hear my favorite indie bands are coming to Chambana, and would certainly go gay for Sufjan Stevens or Ben Gibbard.
