Sorry to keep this post so brief but I’m about to leave to Granby for some cabin partying and regatta week raging at Grand Lake. Growing up in Chicago I’ve been privileged with many events; sporting, music, festivals, etc. One of my favorites is undoubtedly Lollapalooza. It took its roots in Chicago after many years of nomadic existence. Do I think this year’s lineup is the best? No. Does Lollapalooza always provide a good time with good music? Yes. Here are the shows that I would suggest checking out this weekend with my top three in bold.
Friday: Drive-By-Truckers, Caspa, Black Keys, Chromeo, 2manydjs
Saturday: Rebelution, Beats Antique, Gogol Bordello, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Slightly Stoopid, Rusko, Phoenix, Empire of the Sun
Sunday: MGMT, Wolfmother, Digitalism
To all of those saying hey you love electronic music, where is the Pretty Lights nod for this Saturday’s sold out Red Rocks show? I will tell you that although I really enjoy Derek’s music and the addition of Adam on drums is amazing there will just simply be too many posers and wanksters in attendance. The electronic scene is HUGE in Colorado and I love that. With the good comes the bad though and the bad being people who don’t know anything about the music or even like it all that much. They go to get as twisted as possible and no other reason. What really bugs me is the fact that tickets are being sold on craigslist for upwards of $200. Really? Phish has a hard time pulling that ticket price for a single night show. So to anyone reading who is one of these people, make this the last time you visit my blog because I want nothing to do with you. Regardless I hope all of you who are going have a great time with great weather and prepare for the moment he drops Hot Like Dimes because the place is going to go crazy with that fire beat.
Have a good weekend and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.
