Lollapalooza Lineup 2009 from C3 Presents Video on Vimeo.

The Lollapalooza Lineup for this summer came out today and.....

EPIC

That's the one word I would squeeze all my utter joy and excitement for this August music extravaganza into. I'm so glad I already have the tickets, the room reservations, the person to go with.

Here are my favorites that will be preforming (in order)"

Kings of Leon, The Killers, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, MSTRKRFT, Crystal Castles, TV on the Radio, Snoop Dogg, Cold War Kids, The Gaslight Anthem, The Virgins, Peter Bjorn and John.... and that only breaks the surface of the magical music experience that will go down in Grant Park August 7 through the 9th.

ALSO: BIG NEWS! I got my tickets for the Aerosmith/ZZ Top Concert on August 28th in Chicago. They're only a little off-center and about 19 rows from the stage. For those of you who don't know, Aerosmith is my one and only favorite band of all time. I went to on of their concerts when I was a sophomore (3 years ago) and it is definately one of my top 5 favorite nights to date. I'm going with my mom (I def. couldn't afford $225/ticket alone...) and it will be an exciting end to my wonderful summer.

I love music.

Kings of Leon Concert Review

Front Row! We Are Scientists
We Are Scientiststhe great KINGS OF LEON

"You better learn to crawl

before I walk away" from Crawl

Here are some pictures from the Kings of Leon concert I attended last wednesday, November 5th at the Rave in Milwaukee. It was so incredible. The Whigs, and We Are Scientists did a good job opening for them, but were no comparison to the headliners themselves. They started the show off with the first two songs from their new album, Only By The Night- Closer and Crawl. Then they proceeded to rock every one of their hits from their past and current albums, including an incredible preformance of Molly's Chambers that had the crowd overflowing with excitement. It's hard to pick a favorite that they did because every one of them were so high-quality and awesome.

What a night. I have a guitar pick, quite a few bruises, and dark circles under my eyes due to being forced to attend all my classes the next day as a souvenirs, and my love for KOL is abounding more than ever. All hail the Kings!

The day of the Kings of Leon concert has finally arrived and I couldn't be more thrilled! Tonight, in Milwaukee, they play along with We Are Scientists and The Whigs. I can't wait to hear "Waow, she's such a charmer oh no..." Should be an amazing show! Look foreward to pics tomrorow.
