Alt Rock Band presents Laliapalooza, Crickhollow's first Alternative Rock Festival!
A day-long event featuring multiple bands playing the best of 90's Alternative/Grunge/Pre-Industrial/Post-Punk/Other music!
Based in part on the earlier years of the Lollapalooza festival, and 90's Alt radio and MTV's 120 minutes and Alternative Nation.
Nirvana, Janes Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Living Color, NIN, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Creed, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Allternica, Screaming Trees, Korn, Audioslave, Queens of the Stone Age, A Perfect Circle, Weezer, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Offspring, Staind, and a whole ton more!
I'd definitely like to stick within the parameters above, even though Lollapalooza is also known for Techno/Hip-hop/Pop bands as well, featuring Ice Cube, Ice T, Prodigy, Moby, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, all that...we can maybe expand into that stuff in following years.

Saturday, September 4th, is the date I'm aiming for.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now we're at the pre-planning stage. Ultimately, I would like to have several bands that will Headline, playing at least an hour's worth of Alternative Rock. I would also like several Opening bands, that could play a half-hour's worth of Alternative Rock. Opening bands can have the benefit of posting their sets if they want, in which case 9/10 times Headline bands will pass on those songs, having larger songbooks to choose from. Obviously, some songs are just too cool, and hearing several versions of the same song would actually be kind of neat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have contacted a few bands, those who I was certain had an amount of Alternative Rock/Grunge.
Headlining so far are: Alt Rock Band (it's in the name...), Mardi Gras Party Band, PPPB, Wee Free Banshees, Mushroom Stew.
Opening bands so far: Telimektar, No Whole Bard, and Rakes of Kilkarill.
If anyone wishes to change from Headliner to Opener, or from Opener to Headliner, let me know!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laliapalooza will start sometime after the Breakfast Club is finished at the earliest. The total run-time will depend on the number of bands playing, and how long they will play for. So, we'll easily have at least 5 hours minimum as things stand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If any band that I have not contacted wishes to play Laliapalooza, please let me know ASAP. I am not psychic, and do not know everyone's songbooks, so I only contacted bands that I have actually heard play several Alt Rock songs. If I missed someone, and they have a bunch of songs, and want to be a part, I'm sorry if I missed you, please just let me know if you are interested. Let me know if you would like to Headline or Open.
I also don't want this to run the entire day and evening, so I will stop accepting "applications" if I think we've grown too large.

Oh, and the stage itself will be in front of/under the red and white canopy where the Spring Festival flowers quest giver would be, just west of the Boar Fountain, near the south entrance to Lalia's.
Any questions at all, just ask here or yell at me in game, or email me!
