Lollapalooza 2012 - Chicago

[grandpa frank]

His crew will be in town at least a day early, so I guess it is possible...

Announcing a JW show less than a week out also might help the resale problem. Man I don't want to get my hopes up for this...

[grandpa frank]

I would prefer a Bassnectar show. That would eliminate my Sabbath/Bassnectar conflict. Or maybe it's a Sabbath show...

Band of Horses' Facebook page telling Chicago to be on the lookout for an announcement tomorrow.

Edit: Opening for Jack White? RHCP? BoH are in Wyoming Tuesday and then Colorado Friday so it'd be pretty strange, but the facebook posting seems too coincidental...

That is very curious considering they're opening for MMJ here in a month as well.

[Phi]

Man I hope its someone like Creed so I wont be upset about not being there Thur night. I guess if I was I'd be at TEED anyways.

Yeah that's why I don't get it. Why would they be an opener for two different shows in the same city less than three weeks apart; it's not like they need the exposure.

I guess I could see them as the headliner since they played one of the S. American Lolla's this year (so there's the "Official After Show" tie in) and they got boned by Lou Reed/Perry's when they last played in '09. The whole Wyoming-->Chicago-->Red Rocks thing still throws me off though.

[iamthehorn]

Maybe they're just adding an additional act the their scheduled Chicago show, or a signing or something.

womp

[iamthehorn]

i'm going to take my chances with the free twin shadow show

[glennron]

Bah. I like them a lot, but it's not really worth $40+ considering it's going to be 40% Infinite Arms and I'm seeing them open for MMJ in two weeks where they'll probably get an hour anyway.

[almostcrimes]

It's not Jack White, but it will do.

[WLViking]

I am now going to Lolla. Also, several of the after shows. See you there.

[grandpa frank]

Tommie Sunshine is playing Debonair with Har Mar Superstar on Friday night. I found my Friday Night Fix.

[Phi]

Who? lol

[grandpa frank]

Dont worry Phi, Ill be dancing my ass of drinking Old Style Tall Boys and you'll be trying to get into the Congress... you wait till you get there then youll know what I mean...

[Phi]

No like I seriously have never heard of whoever you said above.

[Sgt. Blotter]

Whoa Har Mar Superstar? Haven't seen them or heard anything about them since '01!!!

This honestly sounds like a Mad Lib to me.

[Launchpad McQuack]

I filled out that form to get into the free Twin Shadow/Neon Indian/Passion Pit DJ set thing at the Logan Auditorium Thursday Night... It says that I'll receive a confirmation closer to the show, does that mean I am on a guest list or they are sending me e tickets or what? Also, whats the venue like? Night club where I have to wear pants and a button down or is it come as you are?

I believe they'll send an e-mail confirmation that you're on the list, but no tickets. It's still first come first serve though, so make sure you get there early enough.

[Phi]

FOUR MORE DAYS OF WORK AND ITS GAME ON!

[grandpa frank]

For Phi. I love this guy. When the Lunar stage was at Bonnaroo and I thought it was a main stay, I was hoping he would get booked for it on a Thursday night. The guy definitely knows how to get the club moving. This is one of the only guys that can get me to go to a club, even though Debonair is hipster central, and is Grimey as hell.

At this point I'm not expecting to hear anything and I'm just going to show up early and see what happens.

Yeah. I'd really like to go but I'm not sure when I could make it down there and don't want to risk not making it in time. I'll probably just go to Sharon Van Etten & Tennis up here Thursday night.

[Launchpad McQuack]

What time you planning on heading over horn?

[grandpa frank]

You guys should check out Revolution Brewing if you head out over near the Logan Auditorium. There isn't a ton to do out there, but that place has GREAT beer. Food is supposed to be pretty good, but every time I've been there I've been on a liquid diet.

[Phi]

Chief Keef just got added. Whoever the Quack that is.

[glennron]

Were Young Bloods just added? I don't know who that is but they took the TBA slot from 12:00-12:45 Friday at Perry's
