Music: The Search for Lollapalooza - Pt. 3

Part 3, let`s go!



GROUPLOVE


Genre: Summer Rock
Lollapalooza Show Time: 12:00-12:45 on Saturday at the Sony stage.
Band Profile: Like out of a movie, each band member met during a worldly art school residence in Greece. Two of the members, Christian and Hannah, are from Brooklyn, Sean is from London England, and Andrew and Ryan are from LA. After their residency finished, each went back to their homeland, but realized what an opportunity they had. They then all went to LA to record their first self-titled EP GROUPLOVE.
Personal Opinion: They've got a great start, that's for sure. A solid EP is always a good thing, and that's probably why they've gotten the Lolla invite so early in their career. 



Dom


Genre: Eletro Pysch-rock
Lollapalooza Show Time: 3:30-4:15 on Saturday at the Google+ stage.
Band Profile: Comprising of four members, Dom is named after the lead singer, Dom, and is accompanied by drummer Bobby, bassist Erik and guitarist Cosmo. Coming from Massachusetts, the band got its break after numerous references in the indie mag Pitchfork.  
Personal Opinion: This band is probably the greatest find so far in my Lollapalooza search, as I can't find anything wrong with them. It's just so good. Really excited for this one.


  • What's your opinion these bands?
  • Any suggestions for bands that I have missed?
  • More right now, or take a slight break?

  6. I had never heard of either of these bands, and they're both pretty good. I would love to be there for that. I'd would even more love to go to Pitchfork though (also in Chicago).

  11. I like the idea of GroupLove with the Shirt for multiple people. Their EP is a decent start, they have potential.
