• After tons of fun at last year's Austin City Limits Music Festival, Roxwel brought the most popular/only music festival game show back to the artists at Lollapalooza 2011. This year, a whopping 19 artists-turned-contestants eagerly spun our handcrafted Roxwel Roxwheel and eloquently answered hard hitting questions, tackled arduous challenges and may or may not have walked away with a Roxwel low-budget parting gift.
    Roxwel's own Bobby Nall was there to host as the contestants took their hand at spinning the wheel, where - in order to celebrate the festival's 20th anniverary -  they were asked to choose which artists from Lollapalooza's original 1991 lineup they would like to fight, kill and 'make whoopee' with. This was just a warm-up, however, as contestants were soon asked to show us their freakiest sideshow act and challenged to staring contests and truth-or-dare games.

    Host Bobby "Barker" Nall kept it Lolla, though, as band members were asked to channel Perry Farrell and come up with their own wacky versions of fantasy music festivals. Other lucky spinners ponder out loud if their music would have been received well by the 1991 Lollapalooza audience and if Perry Farrell would have dug their sound enough to ask them to perform.

    Needless to say, this isn't your grandma's interview. Through these mentally exhausting questions, silly challenges and hilarious outtakes, you'll get to know all of these super talented artists inside and out:
