Every year the Pitchfork Music Festival showcases the best in modern music, and 2013 was no exception. From Friday's opening chords by Frankie Rose to R. Kelly's titanic closer on Sunday, we enjoyed another brilliant weekend of non-stop sights and sounds.

Alli Klein: Family of Noise writesKiller Moon, Rabble Rabble, Creepy Band, and Plastic Crimewave Syndicate at Double Door (6/7/13)
The Double Door, a rock club rich in Chicago history, welcomed four local groups last Friday night for an evening of music that can only be described as heavy. Wicker Park’s Double Door housed a bunch of transplants from a neighborhood a little farther north west, as all four bands have at least a few members (and fans) from the Logan Square area. Competing with a number of summer Chicago street festivals this weekend, I was pleased to see Killer Moon, Rabble Rabble, Creepy Band, and Plastic Crimewave Syndicate playing to an ample sized crowd.

Maddie Hannes writesCHIRP Night at the Whistler with Panoramic & True and Henry Joseph
There's no better way to easy back into the work week than drowning one's sorrows in Dehli Coolers and local music. Thank goodness for CHIRP Night at the Whistler, where CHIRP brings emerging and local bands to the Whistler's stage the second Monday of every month. Last Monday saw folk rockers Henry Joseph and indie-pop purveyors Panoramic & True entertain the crowd under the red lights of the Whistler's intimate stage. Check out some photos from the show, and clear your schedule for the next Whistler night on Monday, June 10.

Craig Reptile: Your Sunday Sonic Sundowner writesVeronica Falls at The Empty Bottle: March 14, 2013
[Reprinted with permission from Popstache.com]
It’s almost a crime against humanity that the music of Veronica Falls is not nestled securely at the top of the Billboard charts, selling a gazillion copies and inducing the kind of fever usually triggered by Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga. Almost, because there are real crimes against humanity that are far more serious, like genocide, ethnic cleansing and the music of Lionel Richie. But in a perfect world, bullets wouldn’t be used to kill people, bullets would only be used to illustrate the speed with which bands like Veronica Falls ascended to the toppermost of the poppermost of the pop charts.

In the heart of Wicker Park is a lesser-known spot upstairs from Lubinski Furniture store and underneath art gallery LVL3 is a newly christened space by the name of NoNation. Events are irregular, bathroom access is a nightmare and the floor buckles and sags in the middle of the main space. But somehow, this former-art-gallery-turned-sporadic-rave space has hosted some of the most interesting performances of the last few months.
