James Murphy, the mastermind behind indie-rock favorite LCD Soundsystem, is equal parts musician and producer. In fact, he formed the band at the same time he formed his label, DFA Records, in 2002. The band garnered buzz quickly with the single Losing My Edge, a danceable, snarky dissection of how people rate “cool.” The group released its self-titled debut album in 2005, which featured “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House,” “Disco Infiltrator” and a second disc full of singles released over the previous three years. The album was nominated for a 2006 Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album.2005 also marked a heightened level of popularity for the label when Murphy and his producing partner, Tim Goldsworthy, remixed songs for N.E.R.D., Le Tigre and Junior Senior. Murphy worked with Nike in 2006 to create a lengthy promotional piece intended for joggers, 45:33, and LCD Soundsystem released their sophomore album, Sound of Silver, the following year. Sound of Silver hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart, and earned Murphy another Grammy nomination. LCD Soundsystem returns this year with their third full-length release, This is Happening, full of catchy beats, snarling wit and booty-shaking goodness.

Karen Carlile Gardner , about 1 year agoIt sucks that they have to play Drunk Girls but other than that they will be the highlight of the festival. Much better in the dark. Can never figure out ACL scheduling.
