Festivals like last weekend's Lollapalooza are supposed to be irresistible to music fiends. You know, like Yogi Bear can't say no to a picnic basket. I attended the first seven Lollas back when it was a) a traveling carnival and b) more culturally relevant, so I've struggled the last few years between wanting to go to the new "destination...

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) April 1, 2009 3:30 pm
The sold-out NME Tour stop at Lee's Palace had everything you could want in a night of rock 'n' roll: an energetic crowd, British dance and indie rock, solid performances and boys with accents in tight pants.

White Lies' Fairy Tale

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) April 20, 2009 3:19 pm
White Lies' story appears to be that of musical fairy tales.
