Rogue Wave played Lollapalooza (pics), 2008 Tour Dates

When we first entered the grounds around 11:30, we were greeted by the sight of enthusiastic Radiohead fans sprinting to the AT&T stage to stake their claim. For us, though, it was off to see Bang Camaro, who lived up to their name. The raucous metal got the fest off to a rousing start, exactly what we needed in the heat, working up a sweat with powerful fist-pumping. From there, we crossed over to catch the throbbing, pulsing swagger of Holy Fuck. They held there own on the mammoth stage and the crowd gathered seemed to be into it. Rogue Wave was up next on our schedule and, like the other bands, their songs captured the hot mood well. They breezed through selections like “Every Moment” and “Publish My Love,” sunny psych-pop for a sunny day. They were also the first band to experience sound issues, being drowned out by Manchester Orchestra at the nearby Citi stage. [Chicagoist]
