Now Playing: Goodwill & Hook N Sling – Take You Higher (Club Mix)

Since hearing this track, I can’t get it out of my head. And I LOVE that they sample Angus & Julia Stone’s “Big Jet Plane.”

Now Playing: Maps & Atlases – Israeli Caves

11 Aug

At Lollapalooza I made a slight detour to catch some of Maps & Atlases set at the Google+ Stage and what a great decision this was. The Chicago based troupe had me from the very beginning and I can’t wait to listen to more of these guys. Hear “Israeli Caves” below and I think you’ll be hooked too.

 

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 2 Days – GROUPLOVE

3 Aug

Saturday, Aug. 6 – Sony Stage, 12:00 p.m.

I seriously think of all the great bands playing Lollapalooza, I may be most excited about seeing GROUPLOVE.  It’s going to be rise and shine early as they kick things off Saturday at noon.  Check out the post I wrote back in June and you’ll see why I can’t wait to see these indie rockers who met on the island of Crete.  Looking forward to hearing some new tunes off their debut LP, Never Trust A Happy Song which drops in September.

27 Jul

Now that we are single digit days away from the 20th Anniversary of Lollapalooza I’m going to highlight some artists I’m excited to see and try to keep it different from artists who were on the Bonnaroo countdown but that may be a little too hard with a few of them.

Here’s “Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now)” by Portugal. The Man off the new record In the Mountain in the Cloud.
