"You heard the rumors and now you know they're true! We've given you two years of our take on Coachella, now we're blasting a soundtrack to another amazing festival....Lollapalooza 2011. I remember my first Lollapalooza in 1997, Tool, Snoop Dog, and Devo were highlights. Nearly 15 years later, the talent is still as eclectic and the mosh pits are just as insane. Inspired by such memories, we're happy to bring you "Lollapalooza 2011: In 45 minutes" an exclusive mix from
The KickDrums. This mix is the latest installment of our festival mixtape series and features all artists in this years Lollapalooza lineup.
The KickDrums "Meet Your Ghost" album is now available at their website, and please follow us @thekickdrums. Enjoy the mix and this years festival. We'd LOVE to be there but we're going to be in exotic locals filming our next video. We've got some great shows coming up in NYC with Andrew WK and Zoot Woman. Come say hi. - The KickDrums"
