Time to take a look at some of the nice surprises Lollapalooza held for those wandering the fields.
The Constellations. An early-afternoon act on Day One, this eight-person Atlanta band drew a good-sized crowd that seemed interested at the start but was enthusiastic by the end of the 45-minute set. Energetic pop music with some great hooks. Check out their first album, Southern Gothic, which chronicles (kind of) a late night in Atlanta.
Semi Precious Weapons. Okay, these guys were over the top, and lead singer Justin Tranter is the over the toppest. When he wasn't disrobing, pouring champaign on the front row, spewing a champaign mist as far as he could, or sticking his head through a 6-ft. portrait a fan passed him he was berating and abusing the crowd, accusing them of not doing something or of doing something or of being afraid to do something. Lady Gaga calls her fans "monsters" but these guys (who reportedly are Gaga's favorite band) aren't so nice. "Bitches" are the the prettiest term of endearment Tranter used and you can use your imagination to figure out what else he called the band's fans. Nasty lyrics, seamy songs, dirty images...but, hey, you can dance to it.
Day 2 discoveries tomorrow...
