Good grief, where did June go?! Hopefully you spent your first month of summer hitting up awesome shows and enjoying all the festivities that come with this balmy season. We've got more bands with tour dates to lead the party into the fall, including Beirut, Wild Beasts, Gang Gang Dance, Bassnectar and Art Vs. Science. Pitchfork Music Festival is also on the horizon, and the music media source recently announced dozens of afterparties from July 14 to 17 featuring acts like Smith Westerns, Das Racist, Yuck and EMA. Also look forward to DJ sets that weekend from Deerhunter, Twin Shadow and Baio from Vampire Weekend!
While you take a gander at the dates and places, open your ears to the latest remix of Art Vs. Science's "Magic Fountain" by Thieves of Aon above.
