If the Pitchfork Festival is too far for you Northwesterners to trek for the return of the Jesus Lizard, mark off July 24-25 and get to Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party. In addition to Yow, the fest promises Sonic Youth, Deerhunter, Micachu, Earth, Mika Miko, the Thermals, and some solid etcs. Check the spread at capitolhillblockparty.com. More names promised.

    This makes up for Bumbeshoot turning into a crapershoot.

  2. Where’s all the sweet electro-dance? Did they sleep through the fact that no one gave a shit about fucking Hold Steady and Vampire Weekend, and instead lost it to GirlTalk and Chromeo? Or am I just sooooo last year?

    • definitely sooooo last year. but come on… can’t complain about sonic youth now, right?

      truckasaurus should bring the dance, though, and there’s always some pretty fun dj sets going on in all the bars on the hill.

    God please let this line up scare away all the 15 year old hipsters who came out last year for Vampire Weekend and made the trek to the bar that much more difficult.
