radiohead

Saturday, August 9th brought about another batch of bands to see how well they could hold the attention of the crowd who was mostly there to see Radiohead headline their second night of the All Points West festival. Kings Of Leon, Animal Collective, Metric and Chromeo held down the "Blue Comet" stage, while The Roots, Sia, The Black Angels, and Nicole Atkins spotlighted both the "Bullet" and "Queen Of The Valley" stages. Once again, take the time to enjoy the videos and coverage of the people who were actually there.

We did not make it up north this weekend to catch Lollapalooza, but I at least had the chance to see a bit of Wilco's streaming set at the AT&T Blueroom. Their energy alone showed just how much fun Chicago was having. Now that it is all said and done, after hometown MC Kanye West and industrial rock giants Nine Inch Nails closed down both of the main stages, I pulled together a host of videos that would make any music lover jealous of those in attendance.

Wilco - "Can't Stand It"

Like most other festivals this summer, Radiohead and Jack Johnson will be taking headlining duties. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are also set to headline.

Well, we have another line-up for you summer festival goers. This one comes to us from the AEG/Goldenvoice produced All Points West festival. The rumors about Radiohead and Jack Johnson headlining were true. The thing about it is that nobody told us that we'd be getting a double dose of those body-snatching Brit-rockers. The line-up is quite diverse bringing in many current indie sensations like Animal Collective and Cat Power. Summer festival troopers Michael Franti and Spearhead and The Roots are also featured, while some of my favorite new acts like the Black Kids and Rogue Wave are thrown in towards the bottom.
