Disclaimer: My mom wanted me to go. It was 7th row. I figured it was like going to see a worse version of the Beatles, in the sense that the fans would be psychotic in their adoration.
Well, now that that’s out of the way, we can get onto the review!

Demi Lovato: That Girl On Before The Jonas Brothers
Spotted
I’m not a fan of stereotyping, but some people just bring it upon themselves.
Delicious Orchards is a wonderful place, but does one really need to take glare-tastic pictures of Orchard’s delicacies?
Zach’s Rogue Wave
Rogue Wave was the first band I saw at Lollapalooza. I had done my research, and knew every word to the eight songs that I had bought downloaded obtained. Unfortunately for my concert-going experience, Rogue Wave has released three albums. Seems as though there was more research to be done.
I find it kind of awkward when a [...]
Things I’ve Noticed at Lollapalooza
Over the course of the festival, which is 2/3 of the way over, I’ve noticed a few things. Instead of putting them as small little quips in a few articles, I’ve decided to pile them into an article of their own
Wet Wristband Syndrome- I’m sure the organizers of Lollapalooza spent plenty of time deciding on [...]
Chicago: Day 1 Wrapup
The concert was pretty awesome, due to a mixture of spontaneous concert-going and the fact that I hadn’t heard any of the bands, but as I said before, the volume was SO loud. Admittedly, I’m not an experienced concert-goer, which is definitely part of my auditory complaints. I’m going to have to purchase some earplugs [...]
The Kills, The Thrills, The Chills
With an opening effects pedal that sounded like the rat-a-tat of a vintage machine gun, The Kills absolutely started off with a bang. Even though they were just a two-piece band, The Kills had no problem filling up the stage. Ascot-wearing Jamie “Hotel” Hince and Alison “VV” Mosshart, a scarecrow version of what Meg White [...]
Band of Foals
Foals are an Indie rock band from Oxford, England. In the US, they are signed with Sub Pop, home to Fleet Foxes and The Shins. Their performance was pretty memorable, with wonderful chemistry. The bassist especially caught my attention for he was the most energized bassist I’ve ever seen, constantly writing like a serpent. So much so that when he sat down towards the end, I wasn’t offended in the slightest bit; he’d earned it.

Chicago: Day 1
It had been a long day. I flew into O’Hare with my two best friends from grade school, Sachin and Ashton. It was my first time in the Windy City, and I liked what I saw. One time change and three meals (breakfast, pre-lunch, and lunch) later, we had finally started to settle down to prepare for a nice ten hour sleep before the first day of Lollapalooza, the main reason for our pilgrimage. Passing by the Apple Store, a huge cluster of tangerine Apple shirts on top of the 2nd floor caught my eye. A sign on the door, coupled with the sound of thunderous indie-rock, told me that The Black Keys, Foals, and The Kills were playing at the North Michigan Ave “venue”.
