Pitchfork Music Festival 2011: Day Two
Additional reporting by Kimberly Bellware and Michele Lenni
The key to surviving Saturday at the Pitchfork Music Festival was to hug the shade and stay hydrated. Temperatures were high but if you weren't in the direct sun a slight breeze kept things pretty comfy. If you were out in the field with no cover though, things could get pretty brutal.
Come mid-day, No Age proved that their super power was being heat-proof. Despite the mercury creeping upwards of 90 degrees, the band’s set was furious and energetic. For their performance in the open air, No Age avoided any of the whirry, experimental sounds of their Nouns-era, instead favoring a just-the-basics version of their songs that stripped away any layers that might have muddied the sound. The result was an unstoppable bass whose ferocity occasionally overwhelmed the vocals, and a grinding, ear-splitting (in a good way) guitar; overall, a few lost lyrics were a minor blip in No Age’s incredible set. The band drove the crowd into a frenzy after their cover of the Misfits’ “Hybrid Moments,” churning up so much energy that front and center crowd started moshing--with one mosher reportedly joining the fray despite having his arm in a cast. Pretty rock and roll. - K.B.
Across the park at the Blue stage Wild Nothing created a pleasantly pastoral soundtrack to the folks lounging in the grass. Unlike yesterday the vibe at the Blue stage was far more chill at this point. Wild Nothing did their best to keep the vibe mellow. The band plays middle of the road indie rock, and while that could be read as a diss, it isn't. These guys aren't doing anything new or exciting, but they are incredibly adept at grafting really pretty melodies onto their compositions. It wasn't the most exciting set oif the day but it was pretty perfect for what it was.
Over on the Green stage Gang Gang Dance punched things up a couple dozen notches. Their dance rock is also kind of par for the course at this point but that didn't make their set any less welcome or stop the kids from stomping around and dancing in the field. Frontwoman Lizzi Bougatsos added enough character, vocally and stage presence-wise, to help differentiate the group from similar ilk. Oh, and they had one member onstage whose primary job seemed to involved flag waving. We have no idea what that was about but it sure looked fun!
Golden Oldies Lyrics - News
DJ Shadow played a blend of golden oldies (can we really consider the mid '90s oldies at this point? ugh) and newer stuff, resurrecting old borderline drum-n-bass lines and crossing them with deeply soulful hip-hop thuds to create a futuristic R&B that
Because of my deep love of music and especially the wondrous poetry of meaningful lyrics, I fondly remember and listen often to golden oldies from the likes of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, and Kris Kristofferson.
the recognition and acknowledgement they deserved back when he was alive, and today, 36 years after his demise, there doesn't exist a connoisseur of the golden oldies whose Ipod doesn't play Lag Ja Gale, Zara Si Aahat Hoti Hai or Phir Wohi Shaam.
As a whole, “Rave on Buddy Holly” is a success, and as long as you have some sort of appreciation for the golden oldies, it is an album worth downloading. However, the album is by no means perfect. While it is impossible not to acknowledge “Rave On”
