Full Pitchfork Line-up Reveled ... now with even more Lou Barlow!
Well, Lou was already gonna be at The Pitchfork Music Festival (July 18-20) anyway since Dinosaur Jr is playing that Sunday, but now he'll be there opening night as well, leading Sebadoh through Bubble and Scrape! Other new additions are: The Hold Steady (squee!), Elf Power, Caribou, Icy Demons, Boban Markovic Orkestar, Titus Andronicus, Bon Iver, Times New Viking, HEALTH, High Places, and Mahjongg.

Sweet!
Hold Steady = Yes.
Got tix for Public Enemy and stoked about Mission of Burma but........wish I could get excited for Sebadoh but I was hoping for a much better classic record. Sebadoh's always kind of been 'meh' to me.
I wasn't gonna go, but The Hold Steady changed everything. They alone make the whole festival worth it. Best live band ever.
Meh.
Way to go 'jonggers
