Apparently there was an earthquake this past weekend…
Epicenter? Pomona Fairplex in California. Cause? Tool, Linkin Park, and Alice in Chains, among others. August 22, 2009 marked the “first annual” KROQ Epicenter Festival, fondly referred to as KROQ‘s Inland Invasion in past years.
This year’s stellar lineup consisted of bands both new and old: After Midnight Project, Sonny, Paper Tongues, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Street Sweeper Social Club, Hollywood Undead, Atreyu, Wolfmother, Alice in Chains, Linkin Park, Dead by Sunrise, and Tool. Even as weather reports threatened Thunderstorms, they didn’t stop concert-goers from flocking to the Fairplex to have a good time. The gloomy morning turned into baking temperatures in the mid-afternoon, but 11 solid hours of music made up for the lack of shade.
After the jump, check out pictures and my experience at Epicenter’09.

Atmosphere‘s interactive set at KROQ‘s Epicenter Festival this weekend included soul clapping with the audience and invitations to sing along at the Monster Energy Stage. Though the set was a good amount of time (45 minutes), Atmosphere left the crowd yearning for more. Good thing Wolfmother was set to perform right after on the main stage.
Check out photos from Atmosphere’s set below…

The rain and clouds from Friday gave way to heat and humidity as Saturday of Lollapalooza rolled around with a day full of new artists. Thanks to the nice weather, crowd sizes seemed to grow substantially adding precious minutes to the walk between stages. The grounds crew deserves a big shout-out for taking care on 95% of the mud left over from Friday’s rain showers; the shoes of countless hipsters have been saved, no doubt.
Saturday started off for us with Atmosphere at 2:45pm at the Chicago 2016 stage. Check out the review and setlist below…

Almost everyone was expecting a surprise main stage headliner for Saturday (April 18) evening at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, but all we got was The Killers – a bit of a letdown, to say the least. But fortunately, there were other options to close out the day. With thundering beats provided by a full band plus DJ Ant, Minneapolis hip-hoppers Atmosphere, headed up by emcee Slug, attracted a substantial crowd at the Outdoor Theatre and overpowered the wailing of The Killers to end the night on a positive note.
If you missed it (shame on you for going to see The Killers), check out some photos from the show below…

So even with the economy in shambles and Americans cutting back on such non-necessities as vacation’s and Jonas Brothers’ movie tickets, you’d be surprised to learn that this might be the biggest summer of concert touring we’ve seen in quiet a while. U2, Coldplay, Green Day, Blink 182, No Doubt, The Killers, and The Who all are launching headlining treks, while package tours like Warped Tour and the Mayhem Festival are back to fight for your hard earned cash. With so many big, meaty tours hitting stadiums, amphitheaters and other Live Nation venues (sigh), music lovers are going to have to make a lot of tough choices when it comes to which shows to see and skip. This weekend is no different so on the way to the breadline, check out these shows going on sale throughout the country.

Atmosphere‘s new video for “You” debuted today by way of MTV2‘s “UNLEASHED” and is MTV2′s Sucker Free Week Premiere all week. This song is awesome. It’s got just the right amount of everything tossed into the mix. It gets you moving, it’s fun to listen to, and sends you on your day with a tune in your head and a smile on your face. Check out their latest video here (after the commercial of course)…
Want to see them live? Here are the dates for Atmosphere’s “Paint The Nation” Tour w/ Abstract Rude, Blueprint and DJ Rare Groove:
