Lollapalooza Clothing Essentials

lolla

This year the Lolla weather forecast predicts fun in the sun with more rational temperatures than past years. This means that we can take advantage of layers (like true Chicagoans) and embrace cool nights of fun and dancing. Some key items I think every festival goer needs are: a rockn' crossbody, some statement sunnies, comfortable and cute shoes and a secret flask (like the one featured above from Cynthia Rowley), just to name a few. ;) Be sure to check out my other essentials above for Lollapalooza this year. And remember the most important Lolla essential: be safe and ROCK OUT!

xo, the SOTW crew.

Lollapalooza 2012 VS 2013

Every Lollapalooza there are ultimately some similarities between the way the lineup is organized for the massive festival. Various genres have to be considered so that Lollapalooza can truly provide something for every music lover. We've compiled a short list of some acts we're really quite excited to see this year and paired them with an artist who performed at last year's festival. Take this guide as a sort of.."If you liked them in 2012, then you'll be sure to LOVE this band in 2013.

"It's time" for Imagine Dragons



Imagine Dragons' success seems to be on a whirlwind spiral upward. Since releasing Night Visions on Sept. 4, 2012 they have had three tracks land on the Billboard Hot 100, a top ten single with Radioactive and their single, It's Time, holds the record for the longest time on the 2012 Alternative top 10 charts. In addition to a number of television appearances it is no surprise that the Night Visions Tour has so far been a smashing success. Imagine Dragons comes to Grant Park this August to perform at their first Lollapalooza 2013. 

Check out the Passion Pit remix of their hit single It's Time and be sure to catch the band at this year's Lolla!


Foals take over Chicago Saturday!

Foals had quite the stay this past weekend in Chicago with performances at JBTV and The Vic. Then a DJ Set over at Primary. They were quite the busy guys, and are coming back here in August for Lollapalooza.

Ever since seeing them a few years ago at Lincoln Hall, I've been jamming to them, and have them on shuffle in my iPod. Below is a remix of the song Late Night. Check it out!

Atlas Genius LIVE at JBTV

Atlas Genius LIVE at JBTV
Atlas Genius is most known for their song Trojans, which you can view their live acoustic set at JBTV above of the song. The Australian guys will be back in Chicago this summer taking the stage at Lollapalooza. Their first single was, Trojans and was released on 4 May 2011. The video premiered on MTV2's show 120 Minutes on 13 January 2012.

Vampire Weekend is looking very "Modern"

Ezra playing Pitchfork Music Festival in 2008 - SOTW Pic

Vampire Weekend has a lot to talk about, dropping a new album Modern Vampires of the Day, on May 14, and hitting Grant Park in August for Lollapalooza. Releasing their first album in January 2008,  I listened to the album on repeat the entire summer, and even fought my way to front to see them play live at Pitchfork that same year. How couldn't you be memorized by catchy songs like Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, Oxford Comma, and A-Punk?!

I think everyone wanted to be stuck with Ezra and the rest of the band in Cape Cod that summer jamming to this album. Not only did the VW crew come out with bang with their first album, they were also known for their rather preppy style for an indie band. Sporting Sperry's and plaid for a lot of their shows, it truly looks like they did escape from the prepster hangout of the cape.
