LMFAO
Congress Theatre – Chicago, IL
11/22/2009
As I was walking into the venue, I was skeptical that this concert could be enjoyable. However, their music is less about content and more about hype; I found their performance to be immensely entertaining. Each of their singles such as “I’m in Miami Bitch” and “Shots” were executed at such a high energy level, that it is difficult to find yourself not bobbing along to the beat and reciting their notorious hooks!

Peaches… What to say about Peaches? Well According to her website “Peaches has always trafficked in subversion. Having held the attention of international audiences for a decade, now she reveals new dimensions of her artistry. A revolutionary figure in 21st century electronic music, Peaches can also reference the innovations of like-minded icons who preceded her with cool assurance. Peaches is still Peaches. “I have a strong image and a strong character,” she admits.”

Amanda Blank
The Metro – Chicago, IL

Amanda Blank is awesome! Many are familiar with Amanda as the fiery vixen appearing alongside crowd and critical darlings Spankrock, and as part of the Philly-based pop group Sweatheart. Enlisting the help of uber-produers Diplo, Switch and XXXChange, Amanda Blank has made a record that is light years ahead of what anyone could’ve expected based on her guest appearances thus far. Balancing a razor-sharp wit & vocal dexterity with an unmatched stage presence, this is a woman to watch. Her record includes other such as Spank Rock, Santigold, Lykke Li and the Cool Kids.

In between taking naps and working on their next album, LMFAO tells us all from the start of the uncle/nephew team to what is in store for future concert goers. Their sold-out tour will be stopping and dropping at over 30 cities across the nation. Did you get your ticket to the party?
I was lucky enough to catch LMFAO in between naps on the road to their Saint Louis show before the weekend. The native California duo have also started their own clothing line, exclusively sold at partyrocklife.com. LMFAO can almost always be found wearing something new from the brand. The super chill Red Foo, uncle to Sky Blu, spent some time to talk about the past, present and future of their lifestyle brand: Party rock.
Dead Hub: Well, let’s just start with you guys. What gave you the idea to form a group with a family member?
Red Foo: We’ve always been doing music together for a long time, but we were both solo artists. We did a few tracks together… and then we both took a trip to Miami. I mean, we’re like best friends. We were playing basketball and making music, and after we came back from the WMC, then we just decided to just be groupie’s group!

Tyrone Wells
Lakeshore Theatre – Chicago, IL
10/10/2009
Great show put on by Tyrone Wells this past Saturday, October 10th. I have seen Tyrone in concert countless times over the past 3-4 years, and every show is amazing. Although this past show was great, for some reason not as good as usual. I’m guessing it must have been because he could be a little tired from his tour. He’s been touring almost not stop and performing without a break, and of course it can be draining.

Brandi Carlile
House of Blues – Chicago, IL

by Jacqueline Johnson
As a part of the (RED) NIGHTS: A Concert Series That Saves Lives, a portion of the proceeds goes to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. With that as an added benefit, if you happen to be familiar with Chicago concert venues then you will understand the shear excitement in attending a show at the House of Blues. I walk in from off of the rainy city street, to a shockingly warm audience that conveniently parts as I make my way to the stage. After a few cordially anticipated moments chatting with Carlile fans, the famous HOB “Quilt” curtain ascends to reveal Brandi Carlile congregated stage center with her band around one mic. Capturing the mood with her folksy, down to earth style and pure raw talent the band begins the night A Capella.

Lil Wayne
Midwest Bank Amphitheatre – Chicago IL
8/29/2009
Being a huge fan of Lil Wayne, I was quite excited upon finding out that I had the opportunity to cover his show. Lil Wayne is headlining the America’s Most Wanted Music Festival this summer, a tour put on by Young Money Entertainment featuring Jeremih, Pleasure P, Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, Young Jeezy and other artists directly under the label, including Tyga, Nicki, Gudda Gudda, Young Twists, Lil Chuckee, and T-Streets. The tour hit Chicago on August 29th at the Midwest Amphitheatre, and with over 20,000 fans in attendance it was evident that the recession is having no affect on the on Young Money Entertainment. The arena was filled from the front of the stage all the way back to the lawn with fans of all ethnicities, ages, and social classes, demonstrating that Lil Wayne is breaking cultural barriers through his rhyme. To me, Lil Wayne is an incredibly talented, hard working, humble artist and he deserves all the wealth he has acquired.
