Ranking Pitchfork 2014

Now that it’s all over, how was the festival? It was a lot of fun and we saw a ton of great bands over the three days we were there, that’s for sure. But some were definitely better than others, so here are my top 10 sets at Pitchfork 2014, followed by my bottom 3. (We haven’t had time to go through all the pictures yet, but when we have time I’ll add some here for the bands missing shots-except Neutral Milk Hotel, who don’t allow photography)

Bottom 3

In no particular order: Grimes, Slowdive, the kids that tried to jump the fence and knocked over a port-a-potty while someone was using it. They were quickly arrested.
