Pitchfork preview: The National on Saturday
Any festival that opens with Cymbals Eat Guitars and ends with The National is pretty awesome. But Pitchfork’s Saturday lineup gets even better. My additional top picks for the day: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Fucked Up, Bowerbirds, Beirut and Wavves. But there are a number of other really good bands to see. So take a chance on a band you don’t know.
The National has been working on a follow-up album to “Boxer” and playing new songs live. Cymbals Eat Guitars will headline its own show Saturday night at the Bottom Lounge. Watch the band on this cool installment of Pitchfork’s Don’t Look Down.
