Bad Things recently wrapped a North American tour of the country that included festival stops at Lollapalooza in Chicago and Osheaga Festival in Montreal. Rembert Browne of Grantland wrote a compelling, in depth feature on the band after being blown away by what he'd seen at Lolla. "I watched a band put on a surprisingly great show, causing a crowd to go from embarrassingly sparse to filled but skeptical to convinced by the end" remarked Browne about the band's headlining performance Saturday night, filling in the spot vacated by Death Grips. "I truly didn't know what to do with what I'd just seen, because I'd yet to accept the reality that a band featuring White pulled a substitute teacher move for Death Grips and did not fall on its face. But I wanted to know more. So I chatted with the band."
Reports from Osheaga were equally as impressive. Canadian media outlet Dose.ca awarded Bad Things with the #1 Most Surprising Moment of the festival, raving about their performance. "Google 'Bad Things' and you'll be inundated with articles that start with the words 'Shaun White's band...,' which is totally misleading, considering how much more there is to these guys" says Dose. "They have great original material and the kind of solid musicianship and stage presence you'd expect from a group that's been playing together for years."
Bad Things are confirmed for a November 2nd performance at Voodoo Festival in New Orleans. More tour news to be announced in the near future.

Official Lolla Tip Sheet #lolla #kidzapalooza
 Lollapalooza 2013 Tip Sheet Important Facts & Features of Lollapalooza 2013 Lollapalooza returns for its ninth installment in Grant Park August 2-4, 2013. This three-day extravaganza will transform the jewel of Chicago into a mecca of music, food, art, and fashion featuring over 130 bands on eight stages, including The Cure, Mumford & Sons, The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, The Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, and New Order. Lollapalooza will host 100,000 fans each day, and with so much activity, we wanted to provide some top highlights: *SAFETY FIRST: In case of emergency, we urge attendees to be alert to safety messaging coming from the following sources:
In the event of a weather evacuation, all attendees should follow the instructions of public safety officials. Festival patrons can exit the park to the lower level of one of the following shelters: GRANT PARK NORTH 25 N. Michigan Avenue (Between Washington and Madison - enter via vehicle entrance on Michigan) GRANT PARK SOUTH 325 S. Michigan Avenue (Between Jackson and Van Buren - enter via vehicle entrance on Michigan) EAST MONROE STREET 5 S. Columbus Drive (Michigan between Jackson and East Adams - enter via vehicle entrance on Michigan) For a map of shelter locations, visit http://www.lollapalooza.com/emergency/. NOTE: Shelter locations will be opened by the Festival organizers in coordination with the City only in cases of extreme weather to ensure the safety of event patrons. *BAG SEARCH AND NEW EXPRESS LANES: The safety and security of our fans is our top priority. Please be aware that ALL bags will be searched each time attendees enter the festival grounds. This will require more time during the entry process. We ask all attendees to plan ahead to allow extra time entering the festival. For faster entry, Express Lanes at both the North and Main entrances are available for those not carrying a bag. A full list of prohibited items can be found at http://www.lollapalooza.com/faqs/festival-faqs. *TICKETS: All Three-day, Single day, and VIP passes to Lollapalooza 2013 are sold-out. All wristbands contain RFID technology and will be authenticated upon entering the gates. Lollapalooza organizers do not condone purchasing passes from secondary markets, and ask fans to beware of purchasing counterfeit wristbands. Passes purchased from any source besides Lollapalooza.com or Front Gate Tickets may not be honored at the gates. *FESTIVAL HOURS: Friday, August 2 to Sunday, August 4 from 11am to 10pm. *BOX OFFICE HOURS: Wednesday, July 31 - Thursday, August 1 from 3pm-8pm. Friday, August 2 - Sunday, August 4 from 10am - 10pm. *FESTIVAL ENTRANCES: Fans can enter the park at the Main Entrance at Michigan Avenue and Congress Plaza, or at the North Entrance at Columbus and Monroe. *KIDZAPALOOZA: Kids ten and under rock for free at Lollapalooza. Kidzapalooza, the family-friendly festival within the festival, has its own stage and tons of interactive activities from video Karaoke presented by Snyder's to a hip-hop workshop with the Q Brothers. The kiddos will transform into rockers with funky hairdooz, tatooz and photo shootz, between games of twister and world turning performances by Chicago's Ultimate Tumblers. *GETTING TO LOLLA: Fans are encouraged to use eco-friendly transportation to get to Grant Park, including public transit, walking and bicycles. If you're riding a bike to Lollapalooza, bike parking will be available south of the main entrance on Michigan Avenue. You'll find bike racks both north and south of Balbo Avenue. Be sure to bring your own lock! *ECONOMIC IMPACT: In 2012, Lollapalooza was responsible for injecting $120 million into the local economy. The festival earned 2.4 billion media impressions at a value of nearly $51 Million dollars. This year, 70% of event attendees reside outside of Chicago, with 3% of all ticketholders residing in other countries. After festival hours, the 100,000 music-lovers each day will fill local bars, restaurants and music venues across the city, where there are 45 official after-shows! *WEBCAST: Fans worldwide who can't make it to Grant Park will be able to get the Lollapalooza experience streamed live at www.lollapalooza.com. The live webcast will feature sets from The Cure, Vampire Weekend, Nine Inch Nails, Mumford & Sons, The Killers, Band of Horses, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Postal Service, Imagine Dragons, The National, The Lumineers and many more. *IPHONE/ANDROID APP: Powered by Hard Rock Hotel, the FREE mobile app for iPhone and Android users will help attendees easily navigate the festival.Users can view artist profiles, create and maintain personal custom schedules, interact with the Festival map, plus view and share Instagram photos -- all in the palm of their hand! *LOLLASHOP: The official Lollapalooza pop-up store returns after its debut in 2012. Conveniently located at 332 S. Michigan Ave. just across from Grant Park, LollaShop opens a full week before the festival gates to give fans extra time to prep for the big weekend. Shoppers will find the complete lineup of Lolla commemorative goods, including the official t-shirt provided by Gap, along with special selections to get music fans ready for the big event. For a full list of activities and store hours, visit: http://lplza.co/lollashop * LOLLA CART: Located in the Shops at North Bridge in the heart of the Magnificent Mile, the LollaCart offers many of the items available at the festival, along with several exclusive items. LollaCart is located at 520 N. Michigan Ave. on level 1, and is open regular mall hours through Aug. 5. *COMMEMORATIVE POSTER: The 2013 poster was designed by acclaimed contemporary artist Michael Sieben. For his spin on Lolla, he explores one of his favorite themes, optimism in the face of adversity, with his band of stranded sailors celebrating the sinking of their own ship. They've chosen to make the best of a bad situation and welcome the misfortune with musical merriment, despite the fact they don't even have real instruments. Offered in three special editions for every level of collector, including editions signed by the artist and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell. The official poster can be purchased at the festival or online at http://store.lollapalooza.com/ *HYDRATION: Hydration is paramount to the health and safety of patrons. Lollapalooza is committed to keeping fans hydrated via CamelBak Filling Stations. Fans can bring up to 2 factory sealed bottles into the park, or preferably an empty, refillable bottle. It also helps Lollapalooza minimize its environmental impact. Since 2010, Lollapalooza has avoided using over 700,000 water bottles! Last year fans poured enough water to fill over 249,000 water bottles. Our continued partnerships with Boxed Water and Vita Coco Coconut Water continue our efforts to eliminate the sale of plastic bottles at Lollapalooza while still hydrating attendees. *CHOW TOWN: Renowned chef Graham Elliot has returned as Lollapalooza's Culinary Ambassador, bringing some of Chicago's favorite eateries straight to fans in Grant Park. Some new and notable editions are Chef Tony Mantuano's Bar Toma, Chicago's famous "Cheezborger" staple, The Billy Goat Tavern and Grill, and nationally acclaimed Pastry Chef, Gale Gand's Root Beer stand. Other fan staples returning to Lollapalooza include Wow Bao - Hot Asian Buns, Windsor Ice Cream Shoppe, Franks 'N' Dawgs, and Elliot's own Grahamwich. For a full list of food vendors and menu items, visit: http://www.lollapalooza.com/experience/chow-town/ *RED BULL SOUND SELECT: Red Bull Sound Select is an innovative program that celebrates local music and the people who push it forward: hard working artists, taste makers that shape scenes and YOU, the passionate fan. Join us today at www.redbullsoundselect.com to listen to Lollapalooza artists like Chance the Rapper, Rivals of the Peacemaker, and Cherub. Use #SoundSelect to show YOUR influence on music; the more you tag your music experiences with #SoundSelect, the greater your chances of winning tickets to Lollapalooza and it's aftershows! @RedBullCHI | #SoundSelect *BE A FESTIVAL PHOTOGRAPHER WITH INSTAGRAM:Back by popular demand, photos from bands and fans around the park will be featured on the Jumbotrons at multiple stages. Select Instagram photos tagged with #lolla will have the chance to make it up on the big screen, all thanks to Citi. *FARMERS MARKET: Another way to stay healthy and hydrated at Lolla is by eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables from the farmers market. Locavores, as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free eaters will find plenty of options to satisfy every craving. *GREENING & SUSTAINABILITY: Lollapalooza's commitment to the environment is integrated into every area of the park. Each trash can includes a recycling bin. Chow Town has both front and back of house composting, and food vendors are required to use eco-friendly plates, napkins and utensils. Sustainability guidelines are in effect throughout the Festival which include a ban on styrofoam, plastic bags, and flyers. Festival merchandise comes in organic and eco-friendly options. Festival producers offset the carbon dioxide emissions of festival vehicles, generators, shore power, staff travel and this year, artist travel, by purchasing certified carbon offsets from Green Mountain Energy. Lollapalooza engages over 200 volunteers a day that are dedicated to greening efforts. *ART AT LOLLA:This year, Lollapalooza is partnering with the Art Institute of Chicago to present some features of current exhibition "Fashion, Impressionism, and Modernity" throughout Green Street. Lollapalooza wristbands will receive $2 off entry into the exhibit, as well. *LOLLA CARES: Take action and get involved with one of the many organizations at Lolla Cares. Social, environmental, and health advocacy causes will have an audience of 100,000 people per day at Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza fans can join Oxfam's mission to create lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice, learn how Working Bikes distributes refurbished bikes to those who need them the most, and more. In the past three years, Love Hope Strength has found 12 potentially lifesaving bone marrow matches from the 644 Lollapalooza fans who registered on Love Hope Strength's "Get on the List" campaign. Since 2008, 2,367 fans have registered to vote at the Festival through Rock the Vote and HeadCount. Lollapalooza takes place August 2-4, 2013 in Grant Park.

I hope that you will and can give your child music and art that inspires and teaches. I make music for my girls because it was my very best love as a child and it provided me with so much.

ACT OUT EXTENDED: Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s Othello: The Remix Now Playing Through July 27, 2013
Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s Othello: The Remix
Extended a Second Time
Now Playing Through July 27, 2013
ChiIL Live Shows caught Othello: The Remix, on their opening night in Chicago and LOVED it. This production is so relevant and accessible, it may just turn on a whole new generation to the genius of Shakespeare. Stick this show on the top of your must see list. We're also stoked to see The Q Brothers again at Kidzapalooza, where they're annual regulars.
We heard from some insiders at Chi Shakes that this show was originally written for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad’s ‘Globe to Globe’ festival at Shakespeare’s Globe where countries were given Shakespeare's plays to produce in a number of languages. Originally, the US wasn't going to enter as England had English covered. But the fest made a special exception and designated Hip Hop as it's own unique language... and a hit was conceived!

Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s (CST) Othello: The Remix, the 90-minute hip-hop adaptation of William Shakespeare’s tragedy, spun out and lyrically rewritten over original beats, has been extended a second time through July 27, 2013. Written, directed and with music by the Q Brothers, Othello: The Remix is receiving rave reviews from audiences across Chicago, playing to sold-out houses and nightly standing ovations. The high energy, cross-genre production is stimulating theater attendance from under-represented audiences in Chicago with noticeable increases in multi-generational and culturally diverse audiences.
The production continues to break records for Chicago Shakespeare’s longstanding CST for $20 program, which offers $20 tickets for CST productions to students and young professionals under the age of 35.
Following the extended run of the American premiere in Chicago, Othello: The Remix will return to London (where the production first performed last fall as part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad’s ‘Globe to Globe’ festival at Shakespeare’s Globe). The three-week engagement at London’s Unicorn Theatre will take place September 11–28, 2013.
Chicago Shakespeare’s full 2013 summer programming schedule also includes: Piccolo Teatro di Milano’s Inner Voices from June 25–29; Shrek The Musical from July 13–September 1; Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks performing The Comedy of Errors from July 26–August 25.
The Q Brothers, GQ and JQ, are siblings born and raised in Chicago, who started their professional careers in the off Broadway hit, The Bomb-itty of Errors. Commissioned by CST and written, directed and with music by the Q Brothers, Othello: The Remix is the first Shakespeare tragedy and second collaboration with CST Creative Producer Rick Boynton. Boynton was also involved in the creation of the Q Brothers’ award-winning CST commission, Funk It Up About Nothin’, which received critical acclaim in its world premiere at Chicago Shakespeare and subsequent international tour to New York, Australia and the UK. In addition to the Q Brothers, the cast of Othello: The Remix includes Jackson Doran and Postell Pringle and DJ Clayton Stamper. Othello: The Remix is produced by Chicago Shakespeare Theater and Richard Jordan Productions Ltd.
Othello: The Remix has been extended through July 27, 2013, in the theater Upstairs at Chicago Shakespeare. Tickets are on sale now for $20–$35, with CST for $20 tickets offered for patrons under 35. Performances now through June 15 are Wednesday–Friday at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 3 p.m. Performances beginning Thursday, June 20 are Thursday–Friday at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 3 p.m. Except Saturdays, July 20 and 27 where performances are at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. All patrons receive a 40% discount on guaranteed parking in Navy Pier garages. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the CST Box Office at 312.595.5600 or visit the Theater’s website at www.chicagoshakes.com/othello
