Fleet Foxes brought the second day of Pitchfork Music Festival to a close to plenty of fanfare and critical support from the blogs and news outlets I’ve scanned so far this morning. I’ve got to wait for @whitperson to round up some of his last batch of photos and maybe (just maybe) a few words [...]

This one will probably get pulled pretty fast so I’d definitely recommend jumping on this video while it’s still alive. It’s a solid Animal Collective performance front to back if you ask me.

Animal Collective headlined the first day of the Pitchfork Music Festival and Whitperson was there to get photos after seeing the band twice this week, once earlier in the week when they played in Brooklyn. The stage design was awesome looking and something that made an appearance earlier in the week as well. You can also watch the entire rip of the Pitchfork webcast that’s still up on YouTube (which I’m watching right now). This is the setlist of new songs that the band has been perfecting on the road, likely for their next album…

Our own @whitperson is in Chicago this weekend for the Pitchfork Music Festival and he’s been rocking some seriously amazing photos from the sets he’s caught. We’ll have a few more of these to come as he wraps up his coverage from the weekend in the next few days, but for now enjoy his shots [...]

Widespread Panic – The Wiltern – 7/14/11 – Photos, Videos, Setlist & Review

Karma-Gettin’ Having never seen Widespread Panic west of the great city of New Orleans over the course of the last decade, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from the crowd inside the beautiful Wiltern on the uneasy eve of the overhyped Carmageddon (hype in LA, shocker), and whether this alteration in my longitudinal center(s)-of-gravity [...]

On Tuesday, West Coast punk-pop band Jack’s Mannequin stopped in for a show on Decatur Street and our hard-working photographer Julia Pretus was there to snap some shots of the piano-driven outfit led by front man (and cancer survivor) Andrew McMahon. The band’s 3rd album People And Things is due out this Fall. Continue on [...]

@LMBNOLA: 2011 VOODOO Experience Lineup (Thus Far)

The painful, slow leak of the Voodoo lineup continues as artist announcements come out at random via Voodoo’s Facebook and Twitter feeds. Still waiting for a RHCP-level mega announcement to anchor this thing. This is all pretty underwhelming thus far, but can’t ever really complain about 3 days of music to close out the fall [...]

Panda Bear was joined by Sonic Boom last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for a performance of the song, “You Can Count On Me.” Oddly this feels like perhaps the most ambitious and daring song to perform in your network television debut, and he takes a two minute track from the album Tomboy [...]

Thumbnail image for @LMBNOLA: DeLuna Fest 2011 Lineup

This one just came across my radar – a fall festival on the beach in Pensacola, Florida that has been able to snag the likes of Jane’s Addiction, Cake and Big Boi. Should be some incredible weather down that way and hopefully they’ll wrangle in a few local acts to round out the lineup. Tickets [...]

Superfly Presents just announced the single-day lineups for this year’s Outside Lands Music Festival. At first glance it looks like they’ll be putting MGMT and The Shins on the stage on the opposite side of the park as the Phish two-set set planned for Friday, Aug. 12th. Nice. Let’s hope Trey finally puts the finishes [...]

I’m hopping a flight later today for Austin to take part in this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival, my first time down there for this big event. The lineup is friggin’ stacked and I’m seeing so many good bands that I haven’t seen before, which will be the subject of another post first thing [...]

Me and @PeteLikesMusic were just chatting about how we’ve hardly had any chance to actually digest the past weekend of live music that went down at Super Ball IX. He’s downloaded all 13 hours of it but I haven’t really touched any part of it yet besides reading through the setlists (briefly) then getting a [...]
