i saw em twice last year and they were great

i think the lineup if fucking amazing. im pumped as well. i could see M. Ward and Bright Eyes playing Pfork fest.

I doubt it actually - they sold out their last Chicago performance and Alligator was a pretty big album. I bet they'll do just fine at the Metro. No word on who is supporting for these shows yet.

they played double door last sold out and had a big crowd at Pfork fest

^^ yeah, that youthful energy and exhuberance is definitely not as evident on NB. this is a pretty mature record for a band that's been around as short as them.

 

i guess for me, as much as i love NB, i wish there was just a song or two (besides No Cars Go, which is an old song obvs), with the energy and heavyness of Power Out or Laika (not my 2 fave songs on Funeral, but still 2 of their highest energy songs to date, especially live). i think the acoustic/rootsyness of the new record probably contributes to a good deal of that however.

thats whats missing for me an energy or power song(s). i dont want to sound like the guy from the somb board, but there is a little bit of an adult cont. feel to it.

big fan here. saw them twice last year once at their own show at Double Door then at PFork fest

ill be there, cant wait to see him. missed the September show. too bad i live in the burbs so ill have to deal with the parking

going to see them at the Chicago show

4th row on Saturday

i saw a short film with Bonnie Prince and Oldham before Factotum a few weeks ago. it was ok, nothing great.

this sucks, great site and great music

just found this. looks like tickets should be going on sale to the general public Aug 19 10 a.m., to Purdue students the day before, and hopefully in a pre-sale sometime that week too.

i looked at temps for next weekend. luckily as of now lolla is gonna have temps in the 80s. I dont think i would be able to handle back-to-back weekend of this heat. Last year's Lolla had these current temps.

so im home now. i left around 5. I was interested in seeing Walkmen & Ted Leo, but I was getting pretty tired from the heat. Im gonna be there all day tomorow because i want to see almost all the bands. Im not a wuss I work outside everyday in the summer for over 8 hours, just knew if i wanted to be there all day tomorrow and still work Monday I was gonna have to make a sacrifice.

im leaving in a few minutes to go

ill be there both days

Metro

Its on Sundance Channel in a few minutes

Who was the opening band?

From what I have gathered Lollapalooza acts aren't allowed to play shows in our around Chicago for two months prior and two months after the festival so chances are no, no Wilco in Chicago until Fall (except for Lolla and Conan of course).

Theres always Summerfest.
