    Lollapalooza Artists - Festival Recap
    Watch Music Videos at www.roxwel.com

    Ever wonder what it's like to experience a music festival from an artist's perspective?  Well, at Lollapalooza Roxwel asked just that, hearing from the likes of Warpaint, Dawes, Deer Tick, Frightened Rabbit, Slightly Stoopid, Violent Soho, Dan Black, Chromeo, The Ettes, Neon Trees, Against Me!, The Big Pink, Semi Precious Weapons and The Morning Benders.

    The Cliff Notes version?  Warpaint played to their biggest crowd ever.  Dawes enjoyed sharing the stage with friends.  John from Deer Tick isn't looking to self-incriminate, but he had a wonderful couple of days...fruity drinks aside.  Frigtened Rabbit didn't get to see any other performances, as usual.  Slightly Stoopid enjoys the gamut of different musical styles the fest offers.  Violent Soho felt at home with Phoenix as a headliner.  Dan Black loved Jane's Addiction when he was younger and was super stoked to be playing the fest that is Perry Farrell's own creation.  Chromeo likes it breezy.  Semi Precious Weapons act like they're 16, drunk and horny.  All.  Day.  Long.

    And waaaay more...hear it from the bands themselves and peruse some photos while you're at it!  Also, check out what they all had to say about Lady Gaga's ridiculous $250K stage setup and just what they'd do with that dough for a single show.  We got some seriously awesome answers to that one fo sho!
