Pitchfork Music Festival artist spotlight: The Avalanches

Aussie electro weirdos the Avalanches will be performing what I’m sure will be a fun set at the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 16th.  Known for their fun, quirky blend of house, big beat, and odd samples, they’re already electro powerhouses after releasing just two albums – Since I Left You and Wildflower.  Those albums were sixteen years apart, by the way, and both are considered high watermarks in their genre.  Since I Left You is widely thought of as one of the greatest Australian albums of all time and the best album of the year 2000.

It will be a fun, rare set from them.  A friend of mine finalized his decision to attend Pitchfork after learning the Avalanches were playing there.  Don’t miss them.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
