Pitchfork Music Festival takes place in Chicago every summer and is known for having an array of musical guests -- some larger and more established acts like Beck or Neutral Milk Hotel, some more newer hype bands such as punk outfit Perfect Pussy, or the long awaited reunion of the incredible English shoegaze band Slowdive. Here is a look at some of these performances close up.
