Daniel Kohn
Ever since he first heard the opening chords to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," at the age of 11, Daniel Kohn has been hooked on music. Born in New York City, raised in the music hotbed of Long Island and currently residing in Los Angeles, Kohn has been writing since high school, when he realized he could get CDs for free. He's a sucker for '90s music, especially that from Seattle. Like a small minority of Americans, he likes football of the European variety, especially Liverpool. When he's not chasing down bands, you can find him at your local pub with a pint of Carlsberg, usually at ungodly hours cheering on his beloved Reds.

Though this is her third album, Jesca Hoop is still a relative unknown to many music listeners. What is known, and should who aren’t familiar should know, is that Hoop has hobnobbed with some of the biggest names in the biz. She’s cut her teeth by working with the iconic Tom Waits (for whose kids she was the nanny for), Peter Gabriel (who sang ba...
With electro pop en vogue at the moment, it’s easy to see why a band like Passion Pit would be on the cusp. The Cambridge, Mass.-based outfit formed in 2007 while most of the members (except for lead singer/keyboardist Michael Angelakos) attended the Berklee College of Music and since then have established themselves as one of the forerunning ban...

One of the treats of Lollapalooza are the after-hours shows that scattered throughout the Windy City. This year is no different. Some of the biggest names that’ve graced the stage in Grant Park earlier in the day will be playing at some of the most intimate venues in the city. While most of the bigger names have sold out their respective shows, t...
