Broken Social Scene

The 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival is set to go down at Chicago’s Union Park on July 16-18. The second batch of bands slated to perform have been announced. This year’s festival welcomes the return of Canadian super-collective Broken Social Scene, who will be fresh off the release of their newest full-length due out in April, Forgiveness Rock Record. They will be joining Modest Mouse on Friday’s bill, along with indie hip hop pioneer El-P. Saturday welcomes the sun-drenched sounds of Animal Collective member Panda Bear, the always raucous Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Brooklyn art-rockers Bear in Heaven, noisy New Jersey collective Titus Andronicus, Gary, Indiana’s emcee Freddie Gibbs, space-funk torch-bearer Dam-Funk, and Chicago glam-rockers The Smith Westerns, while Sunday will sport the talents of San Francisco heart-breakers Girls and local psych outfits Cave and All. More bands will be added as the festival date approaches
