As you may have noticed, it's the festival season, and Baltimore's Wham City just couldn't be left out of the summer fun. This weekend the zany art collective hosted the Whartscape festival, featuring the likes of the Dirty Projectors, Beach House, Spank Rock, Cex, Videohippos, XBXRX, Growing, and of course, the Baltimore boy himself, Dan Deacon.
Held in turns at the Floristree, the Depot, and a few other gallery spaces around town, the weekend-long festival celebrated the best of the bizarre Baltimore house (as in, living space, not dance music) scene, as well as a few cohorts from around the country.
