SXSW 2009 Recap : The Pains of Being Pure at Heart at Terrorbird/ForceField Party :: Red 7

Having written about The Pains of Being Pure at Heart right before SXSW, we knew they were playing ten shows and would probably get to see them (eventually), but we managed to sneak them in on the first day. They took the outside stage at Red 7 before Beach House was set to perform inside and sounded great! Also be sure to check out the AMAZING pictures You Ain't No Picasso has too. Check out the video we recorded of "Come Saturday".

SXSW Spotlight: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

If you're looking for some fuzzy, catchy pop that will cheer you up, look no further than The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. The foursome from New York took their name from an unpublished children's story that a friend of singer Kip Berman wrote of the same title.

Their music style reminds me of the late eighties/early nineties and brings me back to the good old days of being a kid. If you delve more into their lyrics, you realize it's not all happy and they actually have an edge to their music, which somehow makes it even better.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Come Saturday (mp3)

They recently just played a gig in New York with Trail of Dead and Brooklyn Vegan was there to snap pictures. The band's SXSW itinerary includes TEN shows, making it almost impossible to not see them this year in Austin. Don't miss them, you'll regret it later.

2009 Pitchfork Music Festival Announces Dates, Initial Performers

The fourth annual Pitchfork Music Festival will be taking place at Chicago's Union Park on July 17th-19th. While we've never been before, it does look like a great time, and seriously who doesn't love Chicago? Here's a list of some of the initial performers to be announced.

Friday, July 17th:

Built to Spill
The Jesus Lizard
Yo La Tengo
Tortoise

Saturday, July 18th:

The National
Pharoahe Monch
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
+ many more!

Sunday, July 19th:

Vivian Girls
+ many more!

[Pitchfork Official Site]

In previous years, Pitchfork has booked the Friday night lineups by teaming up with All Tomorrow's Parties and their "Don't Look Back" series, presenting bands playing classic albums all the way through. Last year, Public Enemy performed It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, and Sonic Youth performed Daydream Nation in 2007.

This year, Pitchfork will be doing something a little different.

Starting on Friday night, they're introducing a new series called "Write the Night: Set Lists by Request." Basically the audience will vote on which songs all four bands-- Built to Spill, the Jesus Lizard, Yo La Tengo, and Tortoise-- will play. When you purchase your ticket, you'll get a confirmation email. That confirmation email will include a link to a page where you can vote on which songs from each band you want to hear. The bands will tailor their set lists accordingly. 

Tickets for the festival go on sale March 13th, and voting starts the same day. Voting ends June 12.
