Pitchfork

And so, we begin to say our fond farewells to Pretty Girls Make Graves, who will toss their final pop darts at the target that is our hearts on their retirement tour. Their last hurrah kicks off tonight and wraps in what's sure to be a blowout in the band's Emerald City home June 9.

They leave us with three fine records, one heck of an EP, a history of audience-pleasing live shows, and many a memory inextricably linked to "Something Bigger, Something Brighter", "Parade", and all the rest.
