At Lollapalooza 2013, the Postal Service played their second to last show ever, with the last being a Lollapalooza after party the next day. You’d think this would make everybody sad, to be losing such an iconic band, but we really lost the Postal Service years ago. The recent tour, culminating in these two nights at Lollapalooza 2013, has just been a bonus that no one expected.
I walked up to the Mowgli’s set at Lollapalooza 2013 in a normal mood, not knowing who the heck they were. A friend told me to check them out, so I decided I’d give ‘em a shot. By the time the Mowgli’s were done with me, I was giddy, practically skipping to the next act on my schedule.
It was a beautiful sunny day at the Solberg Airport in Readington, N.J., on Saturday, July 27th, for the 2013 QuickChek NJ Festival of Ballooning.

“I feel the passion in the room tonight New York”, Aerosmith front man, Steven Tyler, said from the stage at Madison Square Garden after performing their opening tune “Mama Kin”.
If you were to look up American Rock Music in a dictionary, you may very well find Chicago and Kansas within the definition. Few groups more quintessentially define American rock and roll music.
It’s Stoplight Jones. Not Spotlight Jones like my phone was insisting I was trying to type while urgently telling anyone in the area to get toGooseIsland. On the surface they are a group looking like your everyday rock quartet. That’s just not the case. How many times do you see the bassist also double on alto sax? Or is it the alto saxophonist who doubles on bass? Regardless, the answer to this riddle is not often. They feature two vocalists who equally keep your attention from song to song. My list of bands that can do that is pretty short.
