A quick festival update...if you didn't happen to catch the news from Chicagoist or Jim Dero at the Sun-Times earlier this week, both Intonation and 'Fork added big name nostalgia acts to their line-ups. At Intontation, Roky Erickson, the former lead singer of '60s garage rock legends The 13th Floor Elevators has been added to the Sunday, June 24 bill. Over at the Pitchfork Music Fest, Ryan Schreiber says, 'I'll see your cult rock icon and raise you with 60's Brazilian tropicalia cult favorites Os Mutantes.' According the Pfork Fest website, Os Mutantes haven't played live since 1973 and this will be their only American festival appearance.
