Chicago — Saturday the sun finally showed its face for the entirety of the day’s festivities, helping to dry up some of the remaining moisture left behind by the preceding days’ rains. Lollapalooza 2016’s third day also saw an increase in population, decked out in bright neon accessories and colorful costumes. While the main attractions
Chicago – With the second day of Lollapalooza’s 2016 edition came the heavier rains, as the sandy areas of Grant Park turned to mush and the green grassy hillsides became veritable slip ‘n’ slides, peppered with multi-colored ponchos and umbrellas (and in some cases, umbrella hats). However, the rain didn’t last for too long, and
Barcelona – All week myself and the dashingly handsome Corey Bell have been skirting around this issue of whether or not Primavera can actually claim to be the best festival in the world. It’s time you got some definitive answers. Nobody could deny that the festival is deserving of its place at the top table
Barcelona—Once again, Barcelona’s Primavera Sound offered up the best and the brightest of the industry on the second day of its 16th edition.

San Francisco – This past Saturday, the 24th annual Noise Pop Festival chugged ahead on its penultimate night with a slew of shows happening across the city at different venues, including a fantastic (though somewhat familiar) set by Texas’ Neon Indian, held at the Mezzanine in SoMa. The Mezzanine splits its time evenly as a nightclub showcasing today’s many
Chicago – Nashville rockers Bully played Tomorrow Never Knows Fest for the second year in a row, and yet again, they kicked ass! Last year the foursome supported Cloud Nothings. This year it was METZ, who they had been touring the East Coast with. I could definitely become used to Bully becoming a TNK staple!
Chicago – Nashville band All Them Witches got the second night of Tomorrow Never Knows Fest going with their psychedelic, southern, bluesy rock, heating up Lincoln Hall with plenty of sick jam sessions. All Them Witches were joined by fellow Nashville band Ranch Ghost and Louisville band Old Baby. Every winter TNK Fest brings a
