Indie-electro band Astro will be performing at Lollapalooza Sunday August 4th at 12:45pm on the Red Bull Sound Select stage
Featured in NPR Music’s “Top 50 Albums of 2012,” Astro’s self-titled debut was celebrated by NPR: “There's not a single track on this record that I don't love; that hasn't gotten me antsy in my seat to dance.”
The New York Times also raved: “Astro carries the legacy of smart, whimsical, catchy Latin alternative rock into the new electro-pop era, as if Café Tacvba were reprogrammed by Animal Collective and MGMT … a joy that needs no translation.”
LA’s tastemaker radio station KCRW has been a strong supporter, praising their “electro-indie-rock sound mixed with a feverish enthusiasm, playful songwriting, and immaculate production that elevates it above the rest.”

Lolla You're Killing Me #lolla
Friday at Lollapalooza 2013 made us make some tough choices. Nine Inch Nails Vs. The Killers. Queens of the Stone Age Vs. New Order. Sure with 150 bands and 100,000 fans a day, there's going to be too much going on at any given moment. But really... Lolla, you're killing me!
Glowing poi ball spinning and flying glo-sticks at NIN... only at #lolla LOL Never thought I'd see the day.
Here's a sampler of our Galaxy S4 photos/ Instagram Posts. Saturday & Sunday we'll have the "real" camera along for the ride. I ditched it at the last minute when yesterday's forecast called for loads of thunderstorms. The grounds were muddy & wet but happily the rain held off.
Glowing poi ball spinning and flying glo-sticks at NIN... only at #lolla LOL Never thought I'd see the day.
We had every intention of going to New Order at #lolla last night, since they're much more of a rare treat to see, and who knows if/when that'll ever happen again. But my 10 year old daughter, Sage, tweaked her foot in team gymnastics earlier in the day and we were on the FAR side of Lolla at go time & had already done a LOT of walking. So Queens of the Stone Age was a happy accident. They killed it! And bonus... we were already where we wanted to be for Nine Inch Nails!! NIN sounded amazing and broke out a full set of old favorites and decent new material too.
Shout out to Sagezilla for being mighty and awesome. Pedometer showed we walked close to 12,000 steps yesterday and she stuck it out!! We tried to pedicab it back to the car, but the first driver said no outrightly and the last said "That's far. I'll take you but it'll be $30. Right now I'm just doing short runs to take people to where they can get a cab."
Really?! My awesome kid said, "I'd rather walk it if you give me the $30, then did it for free."
Friday we ran into our friend Dan O'Connor who worked for SPIN Magazine for years and spray paints awesome DIY t-shirts for major music fests. Sage was sporting one of his creations from Lolla 09 yesterday! We plan to hang with the infamous curly mustache man and his wife and 3 sons over the weekend.
It was also great to see Cara Carriveau (Chicago's Rewind 100.3 FM radio personality) & Theresa Carter (of The Local Tourist fame).
We'll be there all day today and tomorrow with full Lollapalooza and Kidzapalooza highlights so check back like we vote in Chi, IL... early and often.
Highly Recommended Lolla Bands On Our Radar: Reignwolf Saturday at 2:00 PM on the Petrillo stage
Reignwolf is playing Lollapalooza on Saturday, August 3rd at 2:00 PM on the Petrillo stage. Reignwolf’s set has been known to take a “Paul Bunyan-sized axe swing at the nonsense that rock n' roll is dead.” – Crave Online

Lolla Bands On Our Radar: LUKAS NELSON & P.O.T.R. Saturday
|
Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real "Old Familiar Pain" - CONAN on TBS
|
"Nothing wasted, everything gained on
The Promise of the Real's second full length album."
- No Depression
"pounding out vibrant blues/rock riffs with propulsive flair...Nelson and his band had the audience on its feet by the end of their set." - Baltimore Sun
"...blows away crowds at every opportunity." - Fort Worth Weekly
For Lukas Nelson & P.O.T.R., the last couple of years were packed with over 200 performances each year, the chance to spread their unique brand of gritty rock and roll to millions via the greatest of the late night shows, and the adoption of the name "Realers" by their growing base of supporters.
Since then the band - which includes vocalist and guitarist Lukas Nelson, drummer Anthony LoGerfo, percussionist Tato Melgar and bassist Corey McCormick - made good on that promise to keep it real. In 2012, they found a way to bring their live performance experience to their second full-length release, Wasted, both lyrically and musically. Nelson penned all of the tracks and produced the record with the band. "There's a lot of magnetism, energy, and that live feel, and a lot of warmth to it. I feel like this record sounds more like what you get when you see us perform," said Nelson
This year, the acclaimed band has already performed at SXSW, on the Delbert McClinton Blues Cruise and the Kid Rock Cruise, jammed with Los Lobos' David Hidalgo and Warren Storm. They continue to bring their electric and infectious live performances with more dates including a stop at Billy Bob's Texas in April and at The Gathering of the Vibes music festival headlined by Phil Lesh in July.
The band has truly earned praise after years of honing their unique sound through doing it the old-fashioned way, by touring constantly and gelling as a band live first. And at the core of Lukas Nelson & P.O.T.R. and Wasted is what their fans know and love best - Rock n Roll that speaks from the heart.
LUKAS NELSON & P.O.T.R. WILL BE PERFORMING AT LOLLAPALOOZA IN CHICAGO ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 3RD.

Lolla Shows On Our Radar: Grammy Nominated Steve Aoki Friday 8:45 at Perry's & Keys N Krates Friday at 1pm
KEYS N KRATES
Friday, August 2
Perry’s Stage
1:00 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.
Toronto-based live electronic outfit KEYS N KRATES is releasing the SOLOW EP this September on Dim Mak Records. On the SOLOW EP, KEYS N KRATES returns in full force with four diverse tracks that exemplify the group’s unique style. The EP follows the major success of their critically acclaimed single and accompanying remix package “Treat Me Right,” released in June via Dim Mak, which topped The Hype Machine upon its release and has since received continued support from influential artists in the electronic world, including Diplo and Major Lazer, Flosstradamus, TNGHT, and more. The remix from producer Grandtheft of “Treat Me Right,” featured on the Treat Me Right EP, also reached #1 on the Beatport Electronica Top 100 chart. The SOLOW EP features the new track “Dum Dee Dum,” which mixes the group’s trademark blend of hip-hop, trap, and electronica influences, and will be released as a single August 6 via Dim Mak. Also featured on the SOLOW EP are tracks “I Just Can’t Deny”—an anthem built for stadium crowds and festival denizens alike—and the hip-hop heavy “Ratchet Hoes,” which best illustrates KEYS N KRATES’ dominance of the current electro-trap movement, as well as “Treat Me Right.” Best known for their energetic live performances, KEYS N KRATES have created an experimental sound unheard in electronic music today. The group—composed of Adam Tune on drums, synth-master David Matisse on keys, and internationally award-winning Jr. Flo on turntables—brings the experience to life via their fully live sets. KEYS N KRATES collage raw samples and twist them with live instrumentation, creating an inimitable sound and truly demonstrating the artistry of the live remix rarely seen in electronic music performance today. The trap-tinged electronic/hip-hop hybrid group has been enjoying major support from the online sphere and has become a mainstay in the sets of big hitters such as Major Lazer, TNGHT, Diplo, Annie Mac and Salva. They have also been crowned #1 on Billboard’s official “Next Big Sound” chart. Watch a live performance of their smash single “Treat Me Right” here: http://youtu.be/AiFpfS3vG5A.

Closing out Perry’s Stage opening night at this year’s Lollapalooza, Grammy-nominated international EDM star STEVE AOKI broke bands such as Bloc Party, The Bloody Beetroots, Klaxons, and The Gossip through deftly marketed single and full-length releases on his Dim Mak label, which he began in 1996 and now has nearly 500 releases to date. Those releases often dovetailed into performances at his weekly Dim Mak nights including Dim Mak Studios (still going strong every Tuesday night in the heart of Hollywood). As a label owner and shrewd curator of talent from around the world, those club nights have hosted the debut U.S. performances of hundreds of acts over the last decade from Lady Gaga to Ed Banger Records & Justice, Ke$ha, Skrillex, Kid Cudi, Kaiser Chiefs, No Age to Boys Noize. AOKI’s become a force of nature who has helped turn underground house, electro and harder-edged EDM with rap and rock leanings into the phenomena it is today: regularly pulling in 150,000+ fans at events such as Las Vegas’ Electric Daisy Carnival, the debut of the IDentity national electronic touring festival and his Deadmeat co-headlining tour with Datsik. AOKI’s punk roots go back to the art of the house party, when he was just a student at UCSB and was already booking bands such as The Rapture, !!!, Jimmy Eat World, Hot Water Music and At the Drive-In at his Pickle Patch bash and forging relationships with big names that would end up serving him well in the future (he met Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo at a secret show in college). In 2012, AOKI was in the next level of his incredible music career with Wonderland as his first proper full-length release, followed by Wonderland Remix and his Deadmeat: Live at Roseland Ballroom DVD, all which bring a lifetime’s worth of passion for bands, DJs, and artists of all stripes he has met and/or worked with over the past two decades to the forefront.
