Countdown to Lollapalooza: 3 Days – Muse

2 Aug

Friday, Aug. 5 – Music Unlimited Stage, 8:15 p.m.

So Muse plays at the same time as Coldplay which should split the festival goers 50/50 if I was to guess but for me the decision is easy, Muse all the way. While it would be great to see Coldplay, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to see Muse let alone perform at a massive festival. I have also heard their live shows are intense. Guess we’ll find out in a few short days!

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 4 Days – Ween

1 Aug

Saturday, Aug. 6 – Bud Light Stage, 6:00 p.m.

There are so many great bands to choose from and while ultimately scheduling is going to shatter my dreams of seeing every band I’ve marked on my line-up, Ween has to be one of the top priorities. They’ve been around a while and I still have not ever seen Ween live. Time to change this.

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 5 Days – Boy & Bear

31 Jul

Sunday, Aug. 7 – BMI Stage, 5:00 p.m.

Boy & Bear, I can’t get enough of this band.  Beyond stoked to see the kids from Down Under bring it in front of a huge crowd in Chicago.  I wrote about them a couple weeks ago and featured their single “Feeding Line” off their upcoming debut album Moon Fire which get this, drops August 5 (August 9 in the states) when Lollapalooza begins.  How’s that for a way to celebrate!

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 6 Days – Two Door Cinema Club

30 Jul

Friday, Aug. 5, Sony Stage, 5:00 p.m.

Another band I’ve been dying to see live, Two Door Cinema Club.  I love their indie-pop/electro/rock combination.  From their thieving guitar sound and Alex Trimble’s vocals, you just have to say to yourself, ‘wow.’

Not that this should be what you base it on but TDCC are part of the incredible growing line-up on Glassnote Records (Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, GIVERS, Temper Trap, etc.), not bad company for the Irish Trio to be associated with.

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 7 Days – Walk The Moon

29 Jul

Saturday, Aug. 6, Music Unlimited Stage, 12:45 p.m.

This is one show you’ll want to get to the festival early for.  Hands down one of the top performances at Bonnaroo earlier this summer, Walk The Moon, put on an energetic, electric set from start to finish. Riding high on the release of i want! i want! and the lead single “Anna Sun,” the quartet from Ohio are primed and ready to break it big.

And get the face paint ready (you’ll figure it out!).

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 8 Days – The Joy Formidable

28 Jul

Sunday, Aug. 7, Bud Light Stage, 1:00 p.m.

Another rising act in the States that I’m excited to see, The Joy Formidable. The Welsh trio tore up SXSW earlier this year and if all the hype I’ve heard surrounding their live shows is true, they should do the same at Lollapalooza.

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 9 Days – Portugal. The Man

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.

Tonight: The Avett Brothers, Tomorrow: G.Love & Special Sauce and more

22 Jul

Holy concerts!  Vegas is stacked this weekend with a ton of great shows.  For me, it’s simple; I’ve been waiting a while to see The Avett Brothers and they are the Friday night selection.  Tomorrow, I can’t stray from one of my favorite artists, G. Love.  I’m starting to lose count on how many of his shows I’ve been to and if his performance is anything like it was at Bonnaroo, oh man are we in for a treat.  Both are performing at the Silverton inside Veil which is almost as intimate of a venue as you can get in Vegas.

Also on Saturday, Queens Of The Stone Age play Cosmopolitan, Soundgarden is back and rocks out at The Joint, INXS is at Pearl at Palms and local jam band about to make it big, Moksha is at House of Blues.

New Music: John Butler Trio Live at Red Rocks DVD/CD

20 Jul

The wait is over.  A year after performing in front of their largest audience in the US at what I consider to be the greatest music venue in the world, Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado, the John Butler Trio have released a DVD/CD commemorating the momentous occasion.
