2008-10, maybe THE best years for indie rock (well, for me) - the Hold Steady being especially brilliant, but those first songs/bands you mention - Fleet Foxes ‘White Winter Hymnal’ and Wavves ‘No Hope Kids’ - omfg yeah
never have been to a Pitchfork Music Festival, but have been a loyal reader of Pitchfork, relying on them to point me to great music (and they never failed)
I had to check setlist.fm to confirm, and it is insane that Pitchfork booked Kendrick Lamar to play all of good kid maad city six months after it came out. I am very sad about this festival leaving and wonder if there will be anything like it in Chicago next year.
I’m really glad it ended with that photo, because when you started talking about that time period at the top the first band I thought of was absolutely Art Brut.
