Here is my Lollapalooza 2011 experience in photo, word, and audio. Friday: Wye Oak : Maybe the best album of the year, but technical difficulties led to disappointment. First show of the first day and Grant Park already smelled like weed, Cheetos, and crap. Young The Giant : Despite the early spot this Irvine, CA band put everything they had into their set. Even the Coldplay fans already holding their spot had to move their feet. [...]
Welcome to another edition of Mellow Mondays! In my contract with P&B, it's stated that I must average two posts a month in order to see all that internet money we've been quietly generating. Seeing as how I posted zero times last month, it's time to pump it up in August. It's been a while since my last post so let's get right into it. I Might - Wilco I've tried to get into Wilco before, but none of their songs got [...]

Lollapalooza celebrated its twentieth anniversary in Chicago over the weekend with headline performances by Eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and Muse. It was the support acts, however, that really excited us. So like he did at Bonnaroo , our tireless photog/artist wrangler Graeme Flegenheimer (with help from The Impossible Project ) distributed Polaroid cameras and film to 23 bands - 24 if you count Eminem, who dropped out at the last minute (I forgive him) - to capture exclusive behind-the-scenes moments. The snaps reveal how our favorite bands passed the hours in Grant Park, from shotgunning beers [...]
Sir Michael & Sir Charles took over Reggie's Rock Club for their Lollapalooza Afterparty and the good people over at RubyHornet were on hand to get some footage. Looks like it was a pretty dope show.
Last night The Cool Kids hit Reggies Rock Club for their official after party. Hit the jump for live footage of the show.
Chuck and Mikey talk about the trials and tribulations of the music game and releasing their debut album.
Lollapalooza is back with a line-up that's full of up-and-coming local acts, legitimate buzz bands, arena rockers and a few head scratchers. So, we here at Loud Loop figured you might need some help deciding which bands to check out and which to avoid. And of course you know the headliners, so we won't waste your time on those. Instead, these are our picks for can't-miss acts those other eight hours this Friday, Saturday and Sunday... FRIDAY, AUGUST 5 [...]
<!-- <!-- <!-- The Cool Kids talk about sticking together through all the problems, and the feeling of finally releasing their album.
The Cool Kids recently released their debut full-length album When Fish Ride Bicycles , which we think is very good . To celebrate this release, and The Cool Kids' current tour, we're giving away a prize pack of Cool Kids-related goodies. In the pack you'll find a signed poster of the duo, some stickers of the bicycle-riding fish seen on the front cover of the album, some Cool Kids-branded Swedish Fish candy (because, you know, the album's kind of fishy), a key chain and some sunglasses (for maximum coolness, obviously). You can see a picture of [...]
The Cool Kids - Get Right The Cool Kids - Swimsuits (ft. Mayer Hawthorne) Kinda crazy to me that it's been a decade since graduating from college, but, the summer after getting that $$$$ sheet of paper; N*E*R*D ruled my tape deck/portable cd player. Ten years later & still a sucka for crunchy-electronic funk-hop. Upon first listen of The Cool Kids latest release Fish Ride Bicycles it took me right back to those hot summer months of not knowing what [...]
![The Cool Kids [Live Review] at The New Parish](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3608624_lg.jpg)
Photographs by Darryl Kirchner It was my first trip to The New Parish, so I didn't want to be tardy to the party. After an excruciatingly long DJ set and two openers, including Nio tha Gift, the crowd was plenty warmed up for the Cool Kids. They lived up to their reputation as "hipster rappers" donning straight from the 902s Hilfiger and buttoned up plaid. They started off their set with some tracks from their first album, The Bake Sale , all with a heavy 902s [...]

Last Saturday night, beats were dropping and the beach was popping. After a jam packed day of Dew Tour BMX park and skateboard bowl finals, thousands of fans flocked to the Ocean City, MD boardwalk for free concert on the beach featuring a star-studded hip hop lineup of The Dean's List, The Cool Kids, and headliner Kid Cudi. With all the heat and hoopla that this combo stirred up, the atmosphere at the concert was wild. The up and coming group The Dean's List [...]
