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.

Opener: Fancy Colors

Sondre’s back in Chicago with a full band. Hooray!

So I’m dumb and bought tickets to Of Montreal and Rodriguez on the same night. I’m going to Rodriguez because he might not come back around, but tell me this doesn’t look fun:

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!

Opener: Elf Power

Tim Kasher, the front man for Cursive and The Good Life, is doing a solo acoustic living room tour. Tell me this doesn’t sound awesome?

I passed up seeing these weirdos the last time they played Lincoln Hall because Rodriguez was playing the same night. My take was that Rodriguez might not be back around, but of Montreal will. And I was right. Going to get down at this one.
