Top Three Performances of Day 1 at Lollapalooza 2007*:
1. LCD Soundsystem
2. The Polyphonic Spree
3. Blonde Redhead
* I am keeping Daft Punk out the running for this honor for two reasons: 1) it simply would not be fair to the rest of the performers to compare them to Daft Punk and 2) I have seen them before, at Coachella 2006 (see my review of that show here), and that was easily the best show I’d seen in the past decade, if not ever, so my Lolla 2007 experience was informed by that experience. Expectations are a bitch.
Ted Leo, The Rapture, and The Black Keys were also really good, too.
My whole body is sore today: my feet, my back, my sinuses.
Hey kids, I am up in Chicago this weekend for Lollapalooza. I will try and check in with some quick posts and pictures… but if I don’t, you will definitely be getting a full-on review and and a ton of pictures next week.
There’s a great show at Cicero’s tonight featuring some excellent St. Louis- and Columbia-based bands. I have previously written many a school-girl-on-her-notebook-like love letters to many of the bands playing, including Gentleman Auction House, Witch’s Hat, The Hibernauts, and Jumbling Towers. All are outstanding live performers. If you have not caught Witch’s Hat live, you are truly missing out. I am only unfamiliar with the final band rounding out the bill, The Overtones, but from the songs I’ve heard of theirs online, I think they will fit in just fine.
Annie Z recently spoke with Mike Tomko about Gentleman Auction House’s plans to record their first full-length album this fall…
MP3s:
Witch’s Hat - Bomb Squad
Witch’s Hat - Supply and Demand
Gentleman Auction House - A Hospital Or Heaven
The Hibernauts - Into The Storm/Out to the Sea
