Pitchfork Music Festival artist spotlight: Madame Gandhi


Madame Gandhi is an electronic artist and feminist activist from Los Angeles.  She’s played drums for M.I.A. and is an accomplished musician in her own right. She has a neat style that mixes electro with trip-hop that I really dig; and, go figure, her beats are sick.  She opens the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 14th with a 1:30pm set.

Keep your mind open.

Pitchfork Music Festival artist spotlight: Priests

Washington D.C. punks Priests have unleashed a lot of post-punk / no wave protest music in the last year, and the world is better for it.  They’re smack dab in the middle of the current political climate’s hotbed, and they’re not just speaking out, they’re shouting out.  A lot of their songs build to high tension, which is an apt reflection for much of the country right now.

Priests open the Green Stage at the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 14th.  It’s sure to be a raucous way to start the day.

Keep your mind open.

Pitchfork Music Festival announces full 2017 lineup.

Chicago’s annual Pitchfork Music Festival has announced its full lineup for 2017.  As usual, it’s an interesting mix of artists and genres.

At first glance, the most exciting picks for me are LCD Soundsystem, the Thurston Moore Group, A Tribe Called Quest, P.J. Harvey, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, SURVIVE, Nicolas Jaar, The Avalanches, Derrick Carter, and NE-HI.

Ticket prices have gone up at least $25.00 since the announcement and will go up more as the festival dates get closer, so don’t wait.
