Aug 13, 2009 Wavves By Laura Studarus

Longing for one last summer-ish experience? Well, if you’re in Champaign-Urbana Illinois, the fifth annual Pygmalion Music Festival has you covered. A mere $60 dollars gets you four days of music, including such notable indie bands as Iron & Wine, The Books, My Brightest Diamond, The Antlers, Headlights, Wavves, BLK JKS, Autolux, Low, Japandroids, YACHT, and Ra Ra Riot.

Better yet? All of the action takes place in intimate clubs and venue-increasing the likelihood that you’ll actually see the band, and decreasing the need for post-show mud removal.
