Lollapalooza! Anybody going?

[Dogstar]

Yeah, I've heard lots of good things about APC, but I don't know their music.

[Lechium]

APC is sorta cross between Tool and Smashing Pumpkins... well not really but somewhere along these lines.

[Dogstar]

Hmm, sounds cool. I'll have to give them a listen. If that's the case, it is too bad they won't be on the same lineup with QOTSA...It'll be fun nonetheless. I'm really looking forward to it.

Anna LOVES APC!! But why wouldn't she...Maynard from Tool is the lead singer and Tool is her ultimate most favorite band!! I'll have to check out the web-site and see if they say if it's going to be APC or QOTSA! Either way, I won't be disappointed!!

[Dogstar]

Wow, I didn't even know who was APC, just that lots of people like them. That's awesome. I'll have to download some songs! Any recommendations, luvscott?

[Lechium]

APC is

Billy Howerdel guitar tech for Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, etc (he writes all music for the band. APC is HIS band, for everyone else its a sideproject really)
Maynard James Keenan singer from Tool
Josh Freese drummer from Suicidal Tendencies, Abandoned Pools, etc

Troy Van Leeuwen guitarist from Failure, left APC to tour with QOTSA
Paz Lenchantin bass girl, left APC for Zwan

Twiggy Ramirez new bass player. ex-Marylin Manson, played all guitars, bass and wrote music there
Danny Lohner new guitar player. ex-Nine Inch Nails multiinstrumentalist. Worked with Rob Zombie, Trust Company, David Bowie. Very talented guy, sorta strange to see him as just a guitar player.

P.S. Billy Corgan had created the runic ornaments for cd booklet design, so they have insane amout of big people involved (Tim "Herb" Alexander of Primus, Alan Moulder who produced NIN, U2, Smashing Pumpkins and many others).

songs to d/l? 3 Libras, Judith, Magdalena, Hollow. CD they have out is very solid in general.

[Dogstar]

Thanks very much, Lechium. I'll check them out.

[luvscott4ever]

Yeah, I guess I have to agree with Lechium...Anna has their one and only cd and it is very good...They are working on another one, I guess that's why they are touring...not sure when that is suppose to come out, but I guarantee, Anna WILL be buying it!!

[Dogstar]

Hehehe, I know what you mean about concert withdrawal...Now it's nothing until Lolla in July. I'll have to catch something, even if it's local, before then. I won't be able to stand not hearing some live tunes.
