Lollapalooza is back with a line-up that’s full of up-and-coming local acts, legitimate buzz bands, arena rockers and a few head scratchers. So, we here at Loud Loop figured you might need some help deciding which bands to check out and which to avoid. And of course you know the headliners, so we won’t waste your time on those. Instead, these are our picks for can’t-miss acts those other eight hours this Friday, Saturday and Sunday…

Tomorrow begins another Pitchfork Music Festival at Chicago’s Union Park. And once again, Loud Loop Press will be on-site all weekend long bringing you the best coverage we possibly can.
What can you expect? Updates throughout the day on our Twitter feed and our Facebook page. Then on 10 a.m. the day after (Saturday, Sunday and Monday), we’ll have a full recap of the previous day’s happenings complete with blurbs on the acts we caught, photos and more!
Of course, like every Pitchfork Fest, there’s a ton of music everyday, some of which you have no clue about, so the ol’ Loud Loop staff has decided to help out and clue you in on some of our much anticipated P4K 2011 acts. Anywho, let’s not waste anymore time. This is your Loud Loop Press Pitchfork Fest 2011 Preview.

Last year, something incredible happened. After being around for barely over a year, LoudLoopPress.com was voted Best Local Music Blog in the Chicago Reader’s Best Of Chicago Readers’ Poll.
Needless to say, we were very excited. Because in our minds, it proved that our readers, fans, etc. genuinely enjoyed the site. A site that we work extremely hard at keeping updated daily with interesting local music news, reviews, features and more.
You might not be able to tell, but it takes a lot to keep this website hoppin’ on a daily basis. All of us have full-time jobs, are in school, have family and friends that occasionally need tending to, concerts to see, spaceships to build…and yet we still take take the time to make sure that Loud Loop Press is up and running with the most timely, intriguing Chicago-focused music news on the web.

Hey all! Over the past two weeks you might have noticed some status updates on our Facebook about editor Richard Giraldi going on Vocalo 89.5 FM‘s the MusicVox Program.
It’s no coincidence that both visits as of late have been on a Tuesday.
What looks to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Vocalo and Loud Loop Press, you’ll be able to catch Giraldi shortly after the 6 p.m. hour on the MusicVox every Tuesday chatting with the always great host Jesse Menendez about some of the biggest local releases of the week.
Tonight, Giralidi will talk about the new White Mystery record, Blood & Venom, of which you’ll see a written review of right here on LLP this Thursday.
Be sure to tune in tonight, and every other Tuesday, at 6 p.m. either at 89.5 FM or online at Vocalo.org, to hear some super rad local music talk.

Rabble Rabble, Chicago’s up-and-coming flower punk outfit, will become “video bloggers” for this year’s South By Southwest in Austin, Texas.
While Rabble Rabble won’t be playing any official South By South West shows, they will be taking Austin by storm in mid-March when they conquer the SXSW underground circuit with multiple parking lot shows, house parties and even gigs sponsored by PBR.
Luckily for us, the band will be documenting it all via a video blog, which will be seen exclusively right here on LoudLoopPress.com!
