You may know her from her parts in Dum Dum Girls, Chrystal Stilts, or The Vivian Girls – but I like her best as herself, Frankie Rose (at least I think that’s her real name). A friend at work turned me on to her and I’ve never been to Township, so I’m excited to check it out.

I anticipate getting dragged to other stages with a group or being too hung over to get there early, but in a perfect world, here’s my 2012 Lolla schedule.

Friday @ Congress Theatre
Saturday + Sunday @ Humboldt Park (Division and California)

It’s a little late in the season, and in kind of a weird place but it’s cheap.

Opener: Dylan Leblanc

I was too hung over to catch their noon set on Friday at Lolla so I’ll be heading to the Metro in September to get my fix of the Swedish sister duo.

Tix

Sixto Rodriguez is coming to the Arie Crown Theatre for a show put together by the good people at Schuba’s and Lincoln Hall. If you haven’t seen Searching for Sugar Man yet, you should really check out his story of great early 70s records that flopped in the US, unknown fame in South Africa and the hunt for the mysterious man from Detroit.

My first camping festival! Figured I should do it before I’m too old…

A bit of a Lollapalooza overlap, but come on, Paul McCartney!

Bjork, R Kelly, Belle & Sebastian, MIA, Low, Chairlift, Foxygen, Mac Demarco, Frankie Rose, many more
