Lollapalooza 2008: Unfiltered with 10000 Beats

Take Leif Knutson’s video tour of Lollapalooza 2008. He was reppin’ 10000beats hard amid the rock royalty and Chicago heat, and even managed interviews of varying sound quality with festival founder Perry Farrell, Ting Tings and Patrick of the Black Keys!

Hope you enjoy the decadence as much as we did…

Lolla Fallout: MPLS Wins!

With Perry Farrell's Lollapalooza HQ being Grant Park in Chicago the past few (and next few) years, many top-shelf bands that matter have been playing warm-up and cool-down gigs in Minneapolweird, as it's the nearest/hippest town down the road. Being a Lolla attendee yearly (look for the shirtless man in the sailor cap), I miss these shows -- past ones include Ween, Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley -- but hope you non-traveling types can get a lick of the hot hot mess that is Palooza. Here are this year's Lolla Pop treats hitting the Twin Cities:
