So Lollapalooza is going down right in our backyard here in Chi-town and LMM’s definitely getting pumped to see a large swath of bands. Here’s a few preview items of note:
- Chicago’s Innerview magazine has the full run-down of bands by date and set-time; nice and succinct.
- As it did for Coachella and Bonnaroo, AT&T’s Blueroom is offering a webcast of Lollapalooza for those of you who can’t make it to Grant Park for the actual festival. They’re webcasting a few selected artists from each day’s offerings.
- There are a bunch of after-parties and Lolla-related concerts going on this weekend; as always, Jambase has a solid calendar of events, and New City has a few other after-parties they’re promoting.
- Speaking of afterparties, Zeppelin tribute band, Bustle in Your Hedgerow, is at the Abbey on Sunday night for a Lolla after-party show, with a special guest filling in for Scotty Metzger on guitar. Justin at LiveMusicBlog suggests the psosibility of Trey Anastasio sitting in. Could very well be Jake Cinniger of Umphrey’s Mcgee or even Jon Gutwillig of the Disco Biscuits; either of those two would offer some stunning tributes to Jimmy Page, but Justin just might be right on this one, given the Duo’s recent connection to the ex-Phish guitarist.
UPDATE: Okay, so it looks like the guest guitarist for the Bustle show will be Brendan Bayliss of UM; hey, my guess was pretty darn close. Thanks to Justin for the scoop.
