After rain Friday and hotness Saturday it was another scorcher in Grant Park for Lollapalooza's Sunday Performances.

KZ was there and grabbed a bunch of good pics for those of us who weren't able to make it. Her photos from Day 3 BELOW.

As KZ said:

"Overall, a great weekend! I'm sad it's over. It's the same every year....so much anticipation and excitement and then the weekend flies by in a blur. But at least we have the pics..."


Thanks for sharing with the rest of us KZ.

Rocker Hottie Of The Week - Alexandra Lawn of Ra Ra Riot


There has been plenty posted already about All Points West on this blog, but aside from walking away from the festival with a couple pairs of shoes that might never be the same, I walked out knowing I had a few potential RHOTW nominees in mind. At the top of that list is this week's winner. She is the smokeshow cellist Alexandra Lawn of Ra Ra Riot.
Now I will admit I've always been leery of cellos in rock bands, but count me converted. I didn't catch Ra Ra Riot at APW (and after seeing pics am sorry I didn't), but I have been jamming on their debut LP, The Rhumb Line. Good stuff (love "Dying Is Fine). With Alexandra Lawn on cello we all have another reason to enjoy some Ra Ra Riot.

Listen for yourself and be sure to check Alexandra and Co. this weekend at Lollapalooza. Full tour dates can be found here.
