Pitchfork

The Pitchfork Music Festival and Windish Agency took over Emo's and Emo's Jr. yesterday afternoon with an 11-artist lineup that ranged from charming Swedish pop to bangin' electro-house to face-shredding guitar. Eleven bands? Yes, Crystal Castles never quite made it to the club for reasons still unknown. We stayed up all night worried sick about them-- kids, call us and let us know you're OK!

Pitchfork's hard-working reporters documented most of the rest of the day-- we didn't manage to take photos of Do Make Say Think's excellent set because our correspondants arrived late to their own party; they were still working hard writing about the previous night. That's dedication! UPDATE: Thanks to Do Make Say Think associate Amit Dahan, we have a couple behind-the-scenes shots of the band in action. Hooray!

(Thanks to the Windish Agency, Emo's, Ticketweb, At Pluto, Fuze, ReadyMade magazine, and Time Out Chicago for their help with the event-- we couldn't have done it without you guys.)
