Lollapalooza 2012 will always be remembered at The Year of the Evacuation. A massive, quick-moving storm caused an unplanned intermission midway through Saturday’s schedule, but there were still some performances, namely those from Passion Pit and Florence and the Machine, that proved to be just as memorable.

It’s the growing pains of Only in Dreams that capture and pull in something novel to an already saturated 60’s garage-pop revival. The Dum Dum Girls have taken a risk in trying something new, but this risk, for the most part, has paid off.
Dum Dum Girls’ leader Kristin “Dee Dee” Gundred is a rock star. One glance at the cover of her band’s new release, He Gets Me High, makes this clearly evident. However, don’t mistake the look for nonchalance. If other musicians put as much effort into their full-length releases as she has for an EP, then the music scene would be an even more interesting place.
